Essential systems delivered for the RHeaDHy project

The cooling system and high-pressure hydrogen storage tank have been successfully installed as part of the RHeaDHy project. Commissioning and system testing will begin shortly.

We have taken an important step forward in the EU-funded RHeaDHy project: the successful delivery and installation of the LAUDA cooling system and our new high-pressure hydrogen storage tank.

These systems are crucial to our goal of developing and demonstrating a high-performance hydrogen refuelling infrastructure. The remaining components will arrive in the next few steps. We will then proceed with the commissioning of the system and the start of the test campaign.

Our goal: faster, more efficient and safer operation of the entire refuelling system.

We would like to thank all partners involved for their continued cooperation and commitment. In particular LAUDA DR. R. WOBSER GMBH & CO. KG and Maximator Gas Solutions GmbH.
