Daimler Buses and H2 MOBILITY Germany have teamed up to expand hydrogen refueling infrastructure for transportation companies. As part of a comprehensive consulting approach, Daimler Buses will now facilitate access to H2 MOBILITY Germany’s hydrogen refueling services for buses powered by hydrogen fuel cells. H2 MOBILITY, which operates the largest public hydrogen refueling network in Europe, is building additional stations near transportation companies, based on demand. They also offer the option of installing H2 dispensers directly at bus depots when needed.
The publicly accessible stations, operated by H2 MOBILITY, reduce investment and operating costs for bus operators. This partnership allows Daimler Buses’ customers to benefit from reliable hydrogen refueling services while supporting the expansion of public hydrogen infrastructure.
Mirko Sgodda, Head of Marketing, Sales, and Customer Services at Daimler Buses, emphasized the company’s commitment to electrification: “We are advancing alternative drive technologies, including hydrogen fuel cells. Since 2023, our eCitaro fuel cell bus has been equipped with a hydrogen-based system to extend its range. Through our partnership with H2 MOBILITY Germany, we offer customers seamless solutions, from depot installations to public refueling stations, reducing complexity for transportation companies.”
Falk Schulte-Wintrop, Director of Sales & Business Development at H2 MOBILITY Germany, highlighted the importance of this cooperation for fleet transitions: “By working with Daimler Buses, we are providing optimal hydrogen mobility solutions for public transport. Leveraging our public refueling network, companies can save costs and benefit from our decade of technical expertise.”
Daimler Buses’ electrification strategy extends beyond the vehicle itself. Through Daimler Buses Solutions GmbH and other partners, they offer comprehensive turnkey solutions for operating electric and hydrogen-powered bus fleets, from vehicle configuration to complete depot infrastructure. The partnership with H2 MOBILITY Germany adds an efficient, easily implemented hydrogen refueling solution, managing everything from construction to daily operation.
