Wolftank Group AG, a leading provider of environmental and energy solutions, is underlining its innovative role in the field of green mobility and strengthening its position in the H₂ sector with a series of new orders. In the project presented on Friday by the state of Carinthia for Austria’s first H₂ bus fleet in regional transport, Wolftank Group is building a H₂ filling station for refueling 35 public buses in Villach on behalf of project partner GUTMANN GmbH. It will also be responsible for its maintenance for ten years. The total value of the contract is around €5.3 MM.

In South Tyrol, the Wolftank Group, in collaboration with Gemmo SpA, will build a H₂ filling station for SASA SpA – AG in Merano. This will ensure the operation of 15 H₂ buses and other vehicles with 700-bar technology. With an order volume of €3 MM, this project represents an important milestone for public transport in the region. Wolftank Group already built the first H₂ filling station for SASA in Bolzano in 2021 and was awarded the contract to expand this filling station together with Gemmo at the beginning of 2024.

With a significant new project, Wolftank Group is opening up a new market segment for its H₂ technology: after refueling buses and trains in public transport and forklift trucks in the intralogistics sector, the company is now starting a new assignment in the construction machinery and mining sector. Wolftank is installing a container-based H₂ refueling station for a pilot project in which a H₂-powered large wheel loader will be used in an Austrian quarry. This flexible and transportable solution enables the decarbonization of a heavily polluting sector and underlines the innovative strength of the Wolftank Group. The project volume amounts to €1.8 MM.

“For many hard-to-electrify industries, H₂ is the only realistic solution that makes a decisive contribution to decarbonization. Our refueling technology offers a unique combination of flexibility, efficiency and sustainability for H₂-powered construction machinery,” explained Peter Werth, CEO of the Wolftank Group. “This is a future-oriented market in which we see long-term prospects and great potential.”
