British H2 truck manufacturer HVS partners with Hybot from China
Both companies intend to work together on vehicle development, with Hybot taking care of technical aspects and HVS handling sales and after-sales in the UK and EU. The agreement also potentially allows for the export of HVS vehicles to China and cooperation in developing other international markets.
Both HVS and Hybot have already developed their own fuel cell trucks: HVS presented its HGV in 2022 (see photo above) with a range of 600 kilometres, Hybot its H49 with a range of 1,000 kilometres, making it one of the longest ranges on the market to date.
Now the two companies want to join forces: The aim is to promote the use of hydrogen fuel cell trucks on the UK and EU markets and to develop hydrogen fuel cell trucks that are suitable for various transport scenarios.
The aim is to create a partnership with the aim of “revolutionising the commercial vehicle industry,” according to a rather ambitious press release. Both partners want to jointly develop innovative hydrogen-powered vehicles and optimise the supply chain for them.
By combining Hybot’s expertise in hydrogen fuel cell technology and HVS’s innovative approach to vehicle development, the partners aim to set new standards in the industry, the press release states no less confidently.
“We are thrilled to embark on this journey with Hybot, this collaboration aligns perfectly with our mission to lead in the introduction of zero-emission fuel cell trucks. Together, we will develop solutions that meet the needs of operators looking to decarbonise their fleets,” says HVS CEO Jawad Khursheed.
“Partnering with HVS enhances our ability to deliver cutting-edge global logistics solutions that are environmentally friendly and highly efficient. This MoU is a testament to our shared commitment to innovation and sustainability,” added Mr Zhu, founder of Hybot.
