On November 17, 2025, according to the official website of Air Liquide,The first batch of hydrogen powered heavy-duty trucks of the company has been officially put into use in the NetherlandsUsed for logistics and transportation services. This measure further fulfills the company's commitment to decarbonizing transportation and helps promote sustainable low-carbon travel solutions.

The first two MAN hTGX trucksEquipped with hydrogen internal combustion engine (H2 ICE)Operated by Schenk Tanktransport, a local logistics partner in the Netherlands.

As a leading sustainable logistics enterprise in the Benelux region, the company will integrate these trucks into the existing distribution network of liquefied air to replace traditional vehicles,Provide hydrogen delivery services to customers in the Greater Deer Delta regionUsing hydrogen as fuel can effectively reduce carbon dioxide emissions during operations in the region.

For the demanding requirements of heavy transportation, hydrogen is an attractive solution. It retains both traditional vehiclesFast refueling and long rangeThe core advantage of, and the ability to achieveZero carbon emissions from exhaust gasTaking into account environmental attributes. This allows logistics operators to maintain high vehicle utilization and load capacity while alsoSmooth transition to sustainable freight mode without compromising performance.

This action demonstrates the practical actions of Air Liquide in sustainable development. In addition to laying out the entire hydrogen industry chain (from production to terminal applications), the company also actively collaborates with core partners to jointly build the required industrial ecosystem.

The implementation of this project has been achievedDutch governmentSWiM Funding ProgramThe supportThe plan fills the initial cost gap by subsidizing vehicle procurement and hydrogen refueling infrastructure construction, making hydrogen powered transportation solutions more competitive in the market. This strategic model can not only build feasible sustainable solution ecosystems locally, but also provide replicable experiences for other regions, promoting the decarbonization process of road transportation.

Owen Penfolds, Vice President of Hydrogen Business at Air LiquideErwin Penfornis said, "At Air Liquide, we firmly believe that sustainable development cannot be achieved without practical actions. The launch of hydrogen powered trucks is a powerful proof of our partnership with partners in the industry chain and leading the transformation of the heavy transportation industry. We are proud to take this crucial step in the Netherlands and look forward to itPromote hydrogen energy logistics solutions in more networksThat's right
