5,000 hydrogen trucks for companies in North Friesland

GP Joule aims to revolutionize truck transport

GP Joule GmbH, based in the North Frisian municipality of Reußenköge, is entering the hydrogen truck business. The company has ordered 5,000 vehicles from Clean Logistics SE in Hamburg. Customers will be able to lease or purchase the trucks.

GP Joule is a company that primarily invests in renewable energies—namely wind and solar power, but also hydrogen technology. Now, the North Frisian firm wants to expand its business field and offer a one-stop-shop solution for the trucking sector. According to the company, this involves a billion-euro investment. The emission-free trucks will then be leased or sold to customers. The company intends to supply the entire hydrogen infrastructure for this purpose.

GP Joule already operates hydrogen filling stations in North Friesland. CEO Ove Petersen sees the recently signed contract as a revolution in truck transport and describes it as the world’s largest contract for the delivery of hydrogen trucks.
