TotalEnergies (Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE) and Daimler Truck
AG have signed today an agreement on their joint commitment to the
decarbonization of the road freight in the European Union. The
partners will collaborate in the development of ecosystems for
heavy-duty trucks running on hydrogen, with the intent to
demonstrate the attractiveness and effectiveness of trucking
powered by clean hydrogen and the ambition to play a lead role in
kickstarting the rollout of hydrogen infrastructure for
transportation.
The collaboration includes hydrogen sourcing and logistics,
dispensing of hydrogen in service stations, development of
hydrogen-based trucks, establishment of a customer base as well as
other areas.
In particular, TotalEnergies has the ambition by 2030 to operate
directly or indirectly up to 150 hydrogen refueling stations in
Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxemburg and France. As part of
the collaboration, Daimler Truck is also to supply hydrogen-powered
fuel-cell trucks to its customers in the Netherlands, Belgium,
Luxemburg and France by 2025. The truck manufacturer will support
its customers to ensure easy operability and highly competitive
uptime.
Alexis Vovk, President Marketing & Services at TotalEnergies
and member of the Executive Committee: "Hydrogen will have its role
in TotalEnergies' journey to decarbonize mobility, especially in
European long-haul transportation. Our company is actively
exploring all aspects of the value chain of Hydrogen for mobility,
from production to supply and distribution, and is building
important partnerships to this effect. We want to build a
multi-energies company with the ambition to get to Net Zero by
2050, together with society. Therefore, the creation of a European
network of H2 truck stations for mobility is one of the key
challenges we intend to tackle. We are proud to partner with a
motivated player like Daimler Truck to develop CO2-neutral truck
mobility through a harmonized approach."
Karin Rådström, CEO of Mercedes-Benz Trucks and Member of the
Board of Management at Daimler Truck said: "We are fully committed
to the Paris Climate Agreement and want to actively contribute to
the decarbonization of road freight transport in the European
Union. Regarding the long-haul freight segment, we are convinced
that CO2-neutral transportation will be enabled in the future by
hydrogen-powered fuel cell trucks as well as purely battery-powered
trucks. For this, we want to establish a pan-European hydrogen
ecosystem together with strong partners such as TotalEnergies. I am
fully convinced that this collaboration will play a key role in our
intensified activities on the road towards hydrogen-powered
trucking."
In order to develop these projects and to establish
hydrogen-based transportation as a viable option, both companies
want to jointly investigate the means of reducing the Total Cost of
Ownership (TCO) of hydrogen truck operations, in line with their
common approach to work together with authorities on the regulatory
framework in the European Union.
Daimler Truck and TotalEnergies are both members of the
H2Accelerate consortium. The two companies remain fully committed
to working with the consortium, a key vehicle to support the
rollout of hydrogen-powered transport in Europe in the coming
decade.

About TotalEnergies & Hydrogen
Total is looking into the production of clean hydrogen - blue or
green - produced using carbon neutral processes, from natural gas
with carbon capture and storage or based on intermittent renewable
electricity. For several years, the Group has been working on the
development of concrete use cases, for the decarbonization of
industrial processes as well as in mobility and gas. Total is
notably involved as an industrial user, within its refineries, and
as a player in its development as a fuel, notably in Germany where
24 Total service stations already offer hydrogen as part of the H2
Mobility joint venture. Total is also an active member of several
hydrogen-dedicated initiatives and professional associations: the
Hydrogen Council, Hydrogen Europe, the European Clean Hydrogen
Alliance and France Hydrogène.
About Daimler Truck
Daimler Truck has the ambition to offer only new vehicles that
are CO2-neutral in driving operation ("from tank to wheel") in
Europe, North America and Japan by 2039. The company is focussed on
both CO2-neutral technologies battery power and hydrogen-based
fuel-cells. Currently, the truck manufacturer is testing a new
enhanced prototype of its Mercedes-Benz GenH2 Truck on public roads
in Germany. The first series-produced GenH2 Truck are expected to
be handed over to customers starting in 2027. Daimler Truck has a
clear preference for liquid hydrogen. In this state, the energy
carrier has a far higher energy density in relation to volume than
gaseous hydrogen. As a result, the tanks of a fuel-cell truck using
liquid hydrogen are much smaller and, due to the lower pressure,
significantly lighter. This gives the trucks more cargo space and a
higher payload. At the same time, more hydrogen can be carried,
which significantly increases the trucks' range. This will make the
series version of the GenH2 Truck, like conventional diesel trucks,
suitable for multi-day, difficult-to-plan long-haul transport and
where the daily energy output is high.
