VERVAEKE embarks on test fleet of CO2-free long-distance transport

VERVAEKE will be one of five European fleets to test a Mercedes-Benz GenH2 Truck. Five prototypes of this fuel cell truck will be tested on commercial trips for one year starting in mid-2024.

The test of one of Daimler Trucks first five hydrogen trucks will be conducted exclusively in Germany. Although VERVAEKE is promoting the use of H2 technology for ADR approval at the UN level, hydrogen cannot be tested today on transports of dangerous goods due to current ADR restrictions. VERVAEKE will deploy the new hydrogen truck to tow a PVC silo bulk trailer for its customer INEOS Inovyn, which produces PVC in Rheinberg, while the Antwerp site produces its own ISCC-certified green hydrogen.
