News In Brief

Pay as you go hydrogen

Shell's pay-as-you-go hydrogen trucking business has finally received the full complement of 25 H2 trucks that it ordered from the Paul Group for its pay-as-you-go scheme launched in August last year.

The oil major plans to lease the PH2P fuel-cell electric trucks — which are built on a Mercedes Benz Atego chassis — to customers in Germany for a monthly fee, in an effort to drive take-up of these zero-emission heavy vehicles despite high upfront costs.

Logistics firm DHL is an early client of the Shell Hydrogen Pay-Per-Use scheme, leasing two of the trucks in Cologne as part of a year-long pilot to assess hydrogen-powered heavy-duty transport for its operations. “Especially in land transport, where no alternative drive solution has yet been established, it is important for us to test various sustainable solutions in the spirit of a technology-open approach,” said Thomas Vogel, DHL Freight’s CEO for Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
