Hyvia, the joint venture between Renault and Plug Power, took advantage of the IAA transportation to make some announcements.

Hyvia said they had initiated tests of the Master Van H2-TECH with several partners such as Chronopost, Orange and Equans in France, or Hamburger Hafen und Logistik, Packeta (e-commerce) and Maximator Hydrogen in Germany. The first pilot customers include RATP Dev (passenger transport in Europe), B.E. GREEN (zero-emission bus rental in France), MILLA (autonomous bus pioneer in France) and STROOMLIJN (public transport specialist in the Netherlands).

As for the vehicle, there are plans for refrigerated, tipper, gondola and high volume versions.

In addition, the distribution network is taking shape throughout Europe and the after-sales service is being set up.
