HRS, the French designer and manufacturer and European leader in H₂ refueling stations, and SEVEN, a key player in the energy transition, have announced their partnership to install up to five H₂ stations by 2025.

The SEVEN Group specializes in renewable fuels, and more specifically, compressed natural gas (CNG) and green H₂. Founded in 2017, SEVEN, an investor, developer and operator of "green multi-energy" stations for road and sea transport, works with both private and public structures.

SEVEN operates around twenty stations distributing renewable fuels. Several additional stations are under construction or development throughout France, with a strong desire to accelerate the deployment of H₂ solutions.

With this in mind, the partners have decided to combine their expertise in future H₂ mobility projects, with five 1 tpd HRS40 stations planned between 2024 and 2025. The LoI signed makes HRS the exclusive supplier to SEVEN.

This agreement marks an important step forward between the partners, paving the way for large-scale projects and providing a concrete solution to an already high demand for H₂ stations in France.

Jean Michel RICHETON, Chairman of the de SEVEN Group said, "We are delighted to be able to count on HRS to develop our network of H₂ filling stations. A competitive offer, cutting-edge expertise and unfailing support are the main criteria that convinced us to choose HRS. This alliance reflects a shared vision: to make a full commitment to decarbonizing heavy mobility through renewable H₂.

Hassen Rachedi, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of HRS said, "We are extremely proud of this first ambitious collaboration with SEVEN, which aims to deploy five 1-tpd stations. This joint initiative reinforces our commitment to deploying cutting-edge H₂ solutions that meet the growing need for sustainable mobility in the heart of our regions. In this context, our H₂ station solutions, capable of delivering up to 1 tpd of H₂ for all types of vehicles, are an essential asset in our regional networks, where the uses of H₂ mobility are multiplying.
