HeavyDuty Congress 2025 – Symposium for hydrogen-based mobility

The third HeavyDuty Congress for Hydrogen Mobility will take place in Duisburg in mid-October 2025. Register now!

The decarbonisation of heavy goods transport is a central element of the energy transition. The development of a functioning hydrogen mobility system requires close cooperation between:

Vehicle development
Component and system technology
Infrastructure
political and economic framework conditions

The HeavyDutyCongress 2025 offers the opportunity to learn about the latest developments, exchange professional ideas and gain inspiration for your own projects.

On 15 October 2025 ZBT together with the transformation hub cH2ance invites you to the 3rd HeavyDuty Congress (HDC) at the Fraunhofer-inHaus Center in Duisburg, Germany. The symposium for hydrogen-based mobility brings together experts from science, industry and politics to discuss current developments, technological advances and market potential in the field of hydrogen-powered commercial vehicles.

Eine Sattelzugmaschine mit Wasserstofftanks und ein brennstoffzellenbetriebener Pkw stehen auf dem Parkplatz vor den ZBT-Gebäuden.
