French hydrogen mobility specialist, Hyliko, has renewed and expanded its renewable hydrogen supply agreement with Lhyfe.
This will lock in volumes to support two heavy vehicle refuelling stations in the Paris region as it prepares for France’s upcoming TIRUERT incentive scheme.
The new multi-year contract, effective from 1 November 2025, extends Lhyfe’s supply to Hyliko’s flagship station at Villabé (Essonne) and confirms Lhyfe as the supplier for a second site in Tremblay-en-France (Seine-Saint-Denis), due to come online in 2027. Together, the agreement covers more than 200 tonnes of RFNBO-certified renewable hydrogen.
Lhyfe already supplies the Villabé station, which has recorded strong early demand. According to the companies, hydrogen dispensed from the site has enabled heavy vehicles to travel more than 342,000 kilometres, avoiding around 234 tonnes of CO₂ emissions and saving close to 110,000 litres of diesel.
The Tremblay-en-France station will be located near the Roissy logistics hub and the A1 motorway, targeting decarbonised freight movements in one of Europe’s busiest transport corridors.
Critically, the hydrogen supplied under the contract is certified under the EU’s Renewable Fuels of Non-Biological Origin (RFNBO) standard, making it eligible for France’s forthcoming TIRUERT (Tax incentive for the use of renewable energy in transport) scheme. Once the final decree is published, Hyliko will be able to generate certificates linked to the hydrogen it distributes, creating an additional revenue stream that could reduce pump prices by an estimated €4-6 per kilogram.
Ovarith Troeung, Managing Director of Hyliko, said the renewed partnership was central to the company’s long-term strategy.
“The renewal of our partnership with Lhyfe is part of a long-term collaboration aimed at securing access to renewable hydrogen for heavy transport applications,” he said.
“This approach will enable us to consolidate a network of stations in line with market needs and anticipate the entry into force of future regulations.”
Lhyfe founder and CEO Matthieu Guesné said the expansion highlighted growing momentum behind hydrogen for heavy transport.
“The results of its Villabé station and its decision to open a second station clearly demonstrate the relevance of hydrogen mobility for heavy goods vehicles,” he said.
“With Hyliko we are taking action and making the decarbonisation of goods transport a reality.”
