Motive announces partnership with Tevva to jointly supply H2 fuel and HGVs

Motive Fuels announced a partnership with Tevva, the electric and H2 truck pioneer. The partnership will see Motive offer green H2 fuel as a package with Tevva’s trucks helping UK truck operators decarbonize the heavy transport sector. Motive and Tevva will work together to support Tevva customers with safe, convenient, affordable and sustainable H2.

Motive will supply H2 through its existing station network across England, and UK-wide through mobile refueling stations which can be deployed in days, as well as building new H2 stations. All of Motive’s H2 supply is green and produced in the UK, meaning there are very low emissions in the supply chain and virtually no reliance on energy imports.

Tevva intends to offer a range of H2 electric trucks with 7.5-, 12- and 19-ton variants, which comfortably meet demanding duty cycles for nearly all urban and extra-urban use cases. Tevva’s innovation means that its customers can drive for longer distances, with heavier payloads and/or with more uptime and will have reassurance because of the technology’s reliability and safety.

Crucially, H2 refueling typically takes a similar time to diesel truck refueling (5-20 minutes) while H2 electric trucks allow dual use of both battery electric and H2 energy sources, which future proof customers as they transition away from fossil fuels.

Dr. Harsh Pershad, Head of H2 at Tevva said, “We are delighted to partner with Motive Fuels as we continue to expand our dual energy approach to decarbonizing the HGV industry. We want to make H2 fuel usage to be convenient, affordable and sustainable. To achieve this, we are helping remove some of the adoption risks associated with this transition as part of our H2 refueling services. Motive Fuels is one of the most experienced UK H2 refueling providers and a natural partner for Tevva in making this a reality and we look forward to working closely with the team.”

Dr. James Cross, Commercial Director at Motive Fuels said, “We are extremely pleased to be partnering with Tevva to supply green H2 to HGV customers. The H2 transport industry is new, and this combined offer will help customers access both vehicles and fuel. We are pleased to be working with Tevva to bring our whole range of services – from mobile refueling to new station building – to allow us to decarbonize the UK heavy goods sector.”
