Worcestershire's White Logistics is gearing up to test hydrogen-fuelled trucks from Hydrogen Vehicle Systems (HVS) next year as part of the Transition to Zero Programme. This initiative allows haulage companies to use hydrogen fuel cell trucks in their delivery operations and get acquainted with hydrogen refuelling technologies.

Under a memo of understanding with HVS, White Logistics will collaborate on hydrogen electric vehicle technology and infrastructure, sharing operational data. If successful, the company may convert a significant part of its fleet to zero-emission hydrogen-powered HGVs. White Logistics, established over 50 years ago, operates more than 150 delivery vehicles and is committed to reducing its carbon footprint.

CEO Graeme White emphasised the company's effort to adopt cutting-edge, environmentally friendly technologies. John McLeister, HVS' Chief Commercial Officer, praised White Logistics' commitment to decarbonisation, which aligns with their goals to integrate hydrogen fuel cell HGVs into their fleet.

The Transition to Zero programme supports its participants with technology exploration, infrastructure setup, safety guidance, financing options, and training programs, aiming for a smooth adoption of hydrogen FCEV technology in line with sustainability goals.
