Starting in Germany, Hemtron will build a hydrogen fuel network on new greenfield sites and at third-party stations, concentrating on locations near logistics centres and motorways. 

The order consists of 11-, 12- and 18-metre electric buses, set to be delivered next year.

The delivery is part of a mega order in May 2022 for 5,450 electric buses: with DTC taking 1,500 units.

The steel will be produced using SSAB’s ‘Hybrit’ technology, developed over the past seven years together with state-owned mining and energy companies, LKAB and Vattenfall AB.

The first three of forty-six Mercedes-Benz eCitaro articulated 18m electric buses were delivered to German public transport operator Rhein-Neckar-Verkehr GmbH. These vehicles will operate throughout the cities of Mannheim and Heidelberg in 2024.

Now that it is approved for road use, the Carbon4Tank is ready to be serially produced.

The CJPT consortium was established initially in early 2021 through the collaborative efforts of Hino, Isuzu, and Toyota to expedite the adoption of zero-emission and connected technologies within the commercial vehicle sector.

The plan is to work together to ensure industry-leading vehicle engineering, data integration and safety features are incorporated in these buses.
