This MEGC solution has recently received ADR certification – the European standard ensuring compliance with the highest safety requirements for the road transport of hydrogen – confirming its full alignment with international regulations. It integrates optimized hydrogen composite cylinders developed by FORVIA, which were awarded TPED (Transportable Pressure Equipment Directive) certification in May 2025. 

Production is scheduled to begin end of 2025

For several years, H2 Energy has been operating a fully functional hydrogen ecosystem in Switzerland through its subsidiary ‘Hydrospider’. More than 30 MEGC containers are in daily use supplying green hydrogen to 18 Hydrogen Filling Stations (HRS) covering the whole of Switzerland. Up to 1,000kg of hydrogen are being consumed daily by Hyundai’s heavy duty vehicle fleet and other hydrogen customers. This longstanding and unique operational experience in end-to-end hydrogen infrastructure reinforces the strength of this extended collaboration and the maturity of the solution.

We are pleased to strengthen our collaboration with H2 Energy, a trusted and recognized player within the hydrogen ecosystem. As a global automotive Tier-1 supplier, FORVIA brings world-class manufacturing expertise to accelerate the deployment of safe, high-quality and cost-efficient solutions for hydrogen transport and supply. This new product is a natural extension of our portfolio of optimized hydrogen cylinders, reinforcing our commitment to driving the hydrogen economy forward.” says Yves Dumoulin, Senior Vice President, Hydrogen Solutions Division of FORVIA.

This collaboration marks a significant step towards scaling affordable hydrogen supply rapidly. Our combined expertise not only improves logistical efficiencies but also accelerates the realization of sustainable green hydrogen ecosystems. Together, we will pioneer new products, making clean energy more accessible and reliable.” Emphasizes Rolf Huber, Founder and Executive Chairman of H2 Energy.
