The Marseille-Fos H2 facility can refuel all types of vehicles, from heavy-duty trucks to passenger cars, at pressures of 350 bar and 700 bar.

The station builds on Teal Mobility’s network of facilities in France. By the end of 2025, it expects to be operating around 20 sites in France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, and the Netherlands.

Hydrogen refuelling stations at the Paris West Station and in Remis are scheduled to come online soon.

The opening of the Fos-sur-Mer station comes as Teal Mobility and other European operators have tabled calls for faster hydrogen vehicle deployment.

The partners established the Hydrogen Infrastructure Alliance (H2IA) and urged truck OEMs to accelerate fuel cell truck and van rollouts to ensure new stations do not sit underutilised.

The H2IA statement said, “Larger volumes of vehicles and a variety of models available, in turn, lead to a quicker growth of the refuelling network – and to a lower cost for end-users, both for vehicles and hydrogen fuel.”

Collectively, Teal Mobility, Hydri, Fountain Fuel, H2 Mobility, Virya Energy, and HYmpulsion currently run 92 hydrogen stations throughout Sweden, France, Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands.

They plan to build 39 more large-scale facilities by 2028, enough to fuel 1,800 trucks per day.
