HeavyDuty Congress 2026 – Save the Date

Mark your calendars now: The 4th HeavyDuty Congress will take place on 15 October 2026, at the Fraunhofer-inHaus Center in Duisburg. Registration is expected to begin in April 2026.

The symposium is dedicated to hydrogen-based mobility in heavy-duty transportation and brings together experts from academia, industry, and politics. It focuses on current developments in the areas of commercial vehicles, technology, infrastructure, and political and economic conditions.

The ZBT, in collaboration with the cH2ance Transformation Hub, invites you to discuss technological advances, market potential, and prospects for the decarbonisation of heavy-duty transportation.

A tractor unit fitted with hydrogen tanks and a fuel-cell-powered car will be on display in the car park in front of the ZBT buildings during the HeavyDuty Congress 2023.

Once again this year, the HDC is offering many exciting, cutting-edge presentations on key developments in the field of hydrogen-powered mobility. Speakers from the supplier industry, vehicle manufacturers, research institutes, and infrastructure stakeholders will share their knowledge and insights with attendees.

Program Highlights:

  • Technical Presentations from Industry, Research, and Infrastructure
  • Project Reports & Case Studies
  • Trade Show: Components & Vehicles for Heavy- and Medium-Duty Applications

Registration is expected to open in April 2026. The registration link will be posted here on the website at that time.

We look forward to a lively discussion!
