YEAR 2023
“This year, our main focus has been on the establishment of our next generation hydrogen stations in Sweden. We signed land agreements in Västerås and Jönköping and could break ground in Västerås in the end of the year, thanks to excellent cooperation with the City of Västerås.
This project is not only a milestone for us, but we’re manifesting our vision for a greener future into reality, leading by example in the shift towards sustainable energy”, says Slavica Djuric, CEO Hynion Group.
The building of the large hydrogen refueling stations in Västerås and Jönköping is really the first start of a professional hydrogen infrastructure network in Sweden. The refueling capacity of each of these stations is larger than the sum of all the hydrogen refueling stations that today are in operation in Sweden, Norway and Denmark.
In parallel to building these new stations, we are maintaining the operation of our present stations in Sweden and Norway. Even if the number of vehicles still is low, we believe it is important to support all the early adopters, who have invested in their first vehicles of the future, super-clean transport. Examples of this are the two refuse trucks of Renova in Göteborg, the two fuel cell buses of X-trafik in Sandviken and many cars, both company and privately owned. We have also had visits to our hydrogen refueling stations in Sweden by prototype and preproduction trucks that are out on road tests, before they are officially presented to the public.
Looking forward, we are ready to build upon these solid foundations with strategic initiatives aimed at enhancing our market position and contributing to a greener future. Together, we are forging a path that will not only benefit our shareholders but also our community and the environment. We will enter into new, exciting co-operations for this development in the near future.
