The station manufacturer has announced the first order for a hydrogen station outside Europe. The station is destined for a project developer in Saudi Arabia.

This first station marks a decisive step in the HRS strategy to expand internationally in high-potential regions, particularly the Middle East. The manufacturer has identified numerous commercial opportunities in the region. HRS intends to play a major role in this booming market. “This first sale outside Europe is a crucial step in our international growth strategy. The order for our HRS station from a major Middle Eastern energy company demonstrates our ability to deploy our hydrogen refueling solutions in just a few weeks, even outside Europe.” stated Hassen Rachedi, HRS CEO and founder.

The HRS14 station, ordered by this national energy company and major player in the region, will supply a planned fleet of 20 buses and light vehicles starting next July. More details are expected shortly.

HRS points out that the countries of the Middle East have considerable potential for renewable energy production, in both wind and solar power. They are also keen to position themselves as leaders in the energy transition, with a number of ambitious national development plans. This was evident at the COP28. The Gulf States demonstrated that they are investing massively in the deployment of green hydrogen production infrastructures.
