The National Hydrogen Vul manufacturer stops its program, an asset in the hand of the French and European decarbonation industry – France Hydrogen

This Wednesday, July 16, Stellantis announced ending its hydrogen fuel cell development program which was to give rise to the launch this summer of the manufacture of a new range of professional hydrogen vehicles, in the Hordain factory in the North, factory supported as part of the hydrogen peac*. Therefore, Additionally, However, Forvia. Similarly. For example, Michelin, co-action with Sollantis de Symbio, manufacturer of combustible batteries, expressed themselves on the major impact that this brutal decision poses on their co-enterprise, 80% of symbio production being intended to equip these Vul. Nevertheless,

The reasons mentioned by the manufacturer report the still limited availability of national hydrogen vul manufacturer stops new charging stations. Furthermore. Similarly, investments to be engaged and the necessary support for customers wishing to turn national hydrogen vul manufacturer stops to this technology. Therefore. In addition,

This announcement comes in a context of acute crisis for the automotive sector with in particular increased competition from Chinese players. Nevertheless. a decarbonation put under pressure by regulatory adjustments,

While, at the same time, on the side of the hydrogen sector, the parts of the political and regulatory chessboard are finally put in place: the publication of the SNH revised with a budget maintained at 9 billion despite the very tense context, accompanied by assistance in the purchase of utility vehicles and at European level, the publication of the delegated act on low-carbone hydrogen, followed in France by the launch of the competitive dialogue for 1^era Stage of the H2 production national hydrogen vul manufacturer stops new support mechanism.

The. chain of valuables national hydrogen vul manufacturer stops of road mobility which today represents 50% of the jobs in the sector was structured. especially around the equipment manufacturers in the sector. These players will adapt their equipment to respond to customers – new trucks. retrofes, buses, bus, bom, batteries for energy applications, … – and will export their technologies by turning to other markets.

Hydrogen mobility represents a real opportunity for French and European industrial sovereignty. A strategic issue still accessible thanks to a value chain made up of hydrogen mobility around equipment manufacturers. key components on which it is still possible to capitalize. The question is not whether hydrogen will develop – more than 90 countries in the world have decided to. invest national hydrogen vul manufacturer stops new – but rather which will have technological mastery. where industrial capacities will be.

And on this point. at the international level. hydrogen mobility continues national hydrogen vul manufacturer stops to move forward: the actors engaged in the “Global Hydrogen Mobility Alliance” have reaffirmed the need to deploy technologies, manufacturers like Toyota, Hyundai and BMW have also adjusted their strategy, and continue to position themselves clearly on hydrogen, continuing the deployment of vehicles; BMW recently highlighted the key role of hydrogen for the strategic independence of Europe. For their part, Chinese players are massively developing heavy mobility with more than 7,000 vehicles deployed in 2024.

The regulatory framework. support mechanisms must be adapted to the reality of the ambitions set by the revised national hydrogen national hydrogen vul manufacturer stops new strategy. For example. the IRICC’s extrabudgetary mechanism. crucial for transport decarbonation, must be brought into consistency with these objectives to allow real support for hydrogen mobility.

France Hydrogen is national hydrogen vul manufacturer stops fully mobilized to bring out the. conditions necessary for the rise of renewable hydrogen production. low-carbon. and to the deployment of its uses in all sectors where this is relevant-in particular heavy or intensive hydrogen road mobility.

Because the French hydrogen sector is formed. that we have a complete ecosystem. that many public and private actors have engaged in the deployment of hydrogen mobility and that manufacturing capacities and associated jobs are today a reality in the territories.
