Major milestone reached for the Rheadhy project, shared with HRSteam!

As a member of the Rheadhy consortium, HRS organized a “Happy Lunch Break” to give its employees an exclusive look at the modeling and components of this new station!

Presentation of the Rheadhy project

To accelerate the deployment of heavy mobility, HRS is actively participating in European projects, including the Rheadhy project. This program brings together a consortium of nine specialists (manufacturers, integrators and laboratories) who are responsible for:

design
development
optimisation
and testing of key components.

The objective is to multiply by five the hydrogen filling rate compared to what is currently available on the market and thus enable the refueling of trucks (100 kg of hydrogen at 700 bar) in just 10 minutes.

An exhibition of all the components

As part of this, HRS organized an internal Happy Lunch dedicated to the presentation of these new components. Thanks to the collaboration of the other members of the consortium, we were able to physically receive the parts that will make up the future Rheadhy station and we exhibited them so that the HRSteam could discover them and compare them to the components of our current stations. On site, our project managers were also there to answer and clarify any questions that may have arisen.

Twin Mid Flow Technology

This event was also an opportunity to present internally the Twin Mid Flow project developed by HRS, Toyota and Engie, and explain its affiliation with the Rheadhy project. This new technology will allow a refueling rate of 180g H₂/s for one vehicle and 90g H₂/s for two vehicles, thanks to two nozzles connected to the same terminal and operating at the same time. The goal is to reduce the refueling time to 10 minutes for a heavy vehicle and 5 minutes for a light vehicle. It will also reduce the installation cost of the stations and thus allow their deployment on a larger scale for the public along the TEN-T networks.
