On September 3 Air Liquide inaugurated its first hydrogen filling station in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, in the presence of the Secretary of State of the Dutch Ministry of Transport and the Environment.
This facility becomes the first Air Liquide hydrogen filling station located in the Netherlands and it has the capacity to refuel 50 cars per day. One full hydrogen tank, which takes under five minutes to achieve, will give a fuel cell-powered electric vehicle a range of up to 375 miles.
This filling station is part of HIT, a European hydrogen infrastructure deployment project run by Air Liquide along with six other European partners. For the project it received financial backing from the Trans-European Transport Network, a European Commission programme whose aim is to support the development of transport infrastructures.
