While the sale of thermal cars will be banned throughout Europe from 2035, experts are looking for new alternatives to replace gasoline and diesel. Obviously, we are thinking about electricity, which, however, is not yet adapted to all needs. THE synthetic fuel also of interest to many manufacturers and manufacturers such as Porsche and Ferrari. But another solution is also rapidly being developed: hydrogen, which has already been used by Toyota and Hyundai in the Mirai and Nexo, the only two production models powered by this engine.

New station

But the problem is still there: gas station. Indeed, there are very few of them in France at the moment. However, this is slowly changing. And not for nothing, the brand new one was just opened startup HysetCo. Located on the Porte de Saint-Cloud, it is now the largest in all of Europe. And above all, it is the first to produce hydrogen directly on site. It is then added to the three stations already installed in Roissy, Orly and Porte de la Chapelle supplied by the French company Air Liquide.

Large capacity

This new station will be able to deliver up to tons of hydrogen per day, which is equivalent to about 400 fills. Enough to power around 350 hydrogen-powered cars, which HysetCo is currently supplying to taxi drivers in Ile-de-France. In total, the fleet should reach 600 vehicles by the end of the year, according to the Toyota-owned company TotalEnergies, as well as Air Liquide and Kouros. A new station in Le Bourget will also be built in the coming months.
