H2-View News: Plug Power cuts costs, slows hydrogen investments after $970m impairments
The US green hydrogen tech player said it was having to temper its investment pace on “certain platforms,” make more job cuts and limit its CAPEX to near-term “critical investments.” The $971.3m in non-cash charges stem from asset impairments and bad debt provisions recorded in OPEX. Plug attributed these impairments to strategic shifts following weaker-than-expected market demand, impacting assets like plants, equipment and power purchase agreements. These impairments are expected to ease future depreciation and amortisation expenses by $55m to $60m in 2025. While Plug says the measures could save between $150m and $200m annually, they also underscore the financial [...]
H2-View News: German logistics firm deploys two hydrogen-powered trucks from Hyundai
As a regional subsidiary of one of Germany’s largest supermarket cooperatives, Edeka Group, the company will use the Hyundai XCIENT fuel cell-powered trucks to deliver goods to stores in the nation’s northern regions. For the pilot operations, which are part of a wider company initiative to reduce carbon footprint, the vehicles will be closely monitored over the coming months, with a focus on range, efficiency in daily use, and the refuelling infrastructure required. “We are committed to sustainable logistics solutions and will continue to evaluate innovative technologies and alternative drive systems to minimise our environmental footprint,” explained Helen Dahlke, who [...]
H2-View News: Hyzon grants acting CEO special voting power to secure liquidation plan
The troubled US fuel cell and truck firm issued a Series A preferred stock to Dr. Christian Mohrdieck, granting him a number of votes equal to all outstanding Class A common stock, to effectively guarantee approval of the liquidation plan. However, these votes only activate if the number of Class A shares voting ‘for’ exceeds the combined number voting ‘against’ or ‘abstaining’. If that condition is met, the preferred share casts its full voting power in favour, effectively securing approval. Hyzon’s board implemented this mechanism after two prior attempts to hold the vote failed due to insufficient shareholder participation. The [...]

H2-View News: Bosch halts expansion plans for fuel cell production line at its US factory: reports
In an online statement, Bosch said the $200m expansion was delayed in mid-2024, after the hydrogen fuel cell mobility market experienced “significant changes over the past year.” Bosch added that while hydrogen “continues to be growth area… and a key technology for the path to an electrified future,” the company plans to “re-evaluate the investment for local fuel cell manufacturing when region market demand increases.” The expansion plans for the Anderson County facility were first announced in 2022, with production scheduled to ramp up through 2026, bringing an estimated 350 new jobs to the area. Bosch stated it had already begun construction on the extra 147,000 square [...]
