Faced with new anti-pollution measures and the fast-evolving regulatory environment applying to road transport, haulage companies have to adapt their energy strategies and mixes. In line with its commitment to more sustainable mobility, SOLUTRANS aims to highlight the latest innovations in this energy vector with the launch of a new dedicated space in Hall 3: the Hydrogen Village.

Hydrogen: a promising energy vector for the commercial vehicle industry 

Championed for many years as the unavoidable solution to help the commercial vehicle industry achieve net zero, battery-powered electric motors have limitations, particularly in terms of range. This situation has spurred the sector’s professionals to explore new energy vectors that are more capable of meeting the needs of their activities.

While the technology Is still in its infancy, hydrogen is already shaping up to be an innovative and promising alternative. Many arguments plead in its favour today: speed of refuelling, drive range, limited environmental impact, and compatibility with new European regulations. Haulage professionals are therefore understandably interested in finding out more about this new energy solution, either through combustion or using a fuel cell.

Hydrogen Village: a platform for dialogue and research in support of the energy transition

The adoption and development of hydrogen nonetheless face a number of hurdles (production and refuelling infrastructure, cost, reliability) which require close cooperation between all the players in the industry. It is in this aim that SOLUTRANS, the global hub for heavy and light commercial vehicles, will be organising an all-new space at its 2025 show dedicated to hydrogen vehicles and solutions. Designed as a platform for dialogue and research, the Hydrogen Village will bring together a variety of exhibitors specialising in hydrogen mobility applied to road transport (manufacturers, parts suppliers and solution providers) and will enable the professionals in attendance to discover the latest innovations in the field.

Hydrogen at the heart of SOLUTRANS 2025

Over and beyond this new area, SOLUTRANS 2025 will offer visitors an opportunity to anticipate market changes and better adapt their strategies to the industry’s decarbonisation goals.

The live content programme organised by the show will thus reflect these issues and comprise several high-level contributions from French and international experts. Discussions at this edition will centre on a range of themes, including experience feedback on the use of hydrogen in mobility in northern Europe, an analysis of the recent regulatory changes around energy with the participation of a representative of the European Commission, and a focus on new energy mixes.
