Ampol, Hyundai Australia, Pacific Energy and Toyota Australia have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to jointly develop hydrogen refuelling infrastructure.
Both Hyundai and Toyota currently have fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV) fleets operating in Australia today, while Ampol and Pacific Energy are “heavily investing” in energy solutions to support customers through the energy transition.
The goal of the MOU is to combine the expertise and capabilities of each of the partners to help develop hydrogen refuelling stations for FCEVs in Canberra.
“Hydrogen can play an important role in delivering decarbonisation benefits for transport and developing the right infrastructure to support a successful roll out is key,” says Ampol Managing Director and CEO Matthew Halliday.
“The MOU establishes a collaborative working relationship between the parties, who are all required to develop the necessary hydrogen ecosystem to make hydrogen use as a transport fuel feasible.”
