HRS Achieves Key Milestone in Hydrogen Refueling Technology Development
HRS has announced the integration of its Mid Flow Twin technology into a refueling station, according to a press release dated January 26. This achievement, a result of the partnership with Toyota Motor Europe and ENGIE Lab CRIGEN, marks a major step towards the industrialization of this innovative hydrogen refueling system.
Integration of Mid Flow Twin Technology
French manufacturer HRS has successfully integrated components of its Mid Flow Twin technology into a RHeaDHy distribution station. This technology features a dual nozzle architecture designed to speed up hydrogen refueling times for both heavy and light vehicles. According to the company, this integration is a key step towards the industrialization of the solution. The MFT system, developed as part of the European RHeaDHy project, targets a flow rate of 300 grams per second at 700 bars for heavy vehicles. HRS plans to soon launch a new campaign for the qualification testing of components and their integration at its Champagnier test site in Isère.
Live Demonstration at Hyvolution Paris
HRS is organizing a live demonstration of the Mid Flow Twin technology on January 27 during the Hyvolution Paris event. This presentation will take place at 11 AM at the HRS booth number L08 at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles (Hall 1), with stakeholders from the project in attendance. It will be preceded by a speech from 10 AM to 10:30 AM on workshop stage 2, co-presented by Toyota Motor Europe and HRS, titled 'Meeting AFIR for Light and Heavy Vehicles Cost-Effectively'. The event will allow participants from the hydrogen ecosystem, partners, clients, and media to discover the progress of the development program.
Continuation of International Standardization
Following the testing phase at the HRS test site, efforts to standardize to international standards will continue, according to the press release. This next phase is expected in the summer of 2026 and will be a prerequisite for triggering industrial production. The partnership between HRS, Toyota Motor Europe, and ENGIE Lab CRIGEN demonstrates, according to the company, the ability of industrial leaders to combine their expertise to accelerate the development of efficient, reliable, and economically viable refueling solutions. HRS reaffirms its commitment to maintaining a technological lead and supporting the decarbonization of transportation in Europe and internationally.
