For logistic vehicle fleet owners looking to introduce a hydrogen vehicle fleet to the transport market, the high CapEx of a fixed hydrogen refuelling station can be an expensive factor when looking to get a fleet network up and running.
With the Pioneer HRS, CapEx on a fixed hydrogen refuelling station can be delayed and only commissioned when high utilisation is immediately possible. Presenting an appropriate economic hydrogen refuelling solution until a vehicle fleet reaches such scale that a fixed hydrogen filling station is needed.
As your hydrogen vehicle fleet grows and further points of use are required, additional Pioneer stations can then be added due to its reliable scalability and deployment method.
A larger fleet of Pioneers improves resilience in your network as stations can back each other up and the fixed hydrogen infrastructure itself during any periods of downtime. This growth then continues until the vehicle fleet reaches the point where a fixed infrastructure is justified.
The Pioneer Hydrogen Refuelling Station can then continue to serve the fixed station as a distribution asset with a high pressure cascade built in, or it can simply be redeployed to serve other points of use and replaced by a conventional hydrogen tube trailer supply or on-site electrolyser.
