White Logistics partners with HVS for Groundbreaking Hydrogen Fuel Cell Truck Trial
We are very pleased to announce our partnership with White Logistics, where we will explore the suitability of zero-emission hydrogen HGV technology for adoption onto their fleet.
White Logistics have entered into a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with HVS which will provide them with trial vehicles for their fleet, where they can test drive the vehicles on their delivery routes and experience hydrogen fuelling equipment first hand. The agreement will enable White Logistics to collaborate with HVS on all aspects of hydrogen electric vehicle technology, hydrogen infrastructure and refuelling equipment and share operational data that will ensure a successful trial introduction.
White Logistics will be in a favourable position to convert part of its fleet to these cutting edge, zero-emission HGVs following this trial period.

MORE ABOUT THE HVS TRANSITION TO ZERO PROGRAMME
The Transition to Zero Programme outlines HVS’ commitment to supporting potential partners in their journey towards zero-emission transportation. Through their collaboration in the Transition to Zero Programme, participants will have the opportunity to engage in a trial involving HVS’ innovative Hydrogen FCEV HGVs. This trial allows potential operators to test drive the vehicles on their delivery routes and experience hydrogen fuelling equipment first-hand. Following this trial, HVS anticipates that partners will select and acquire their vehicles for their transition to zero-emission operations.
Throughout continuous collaboration, both parties will provide comprehensive support to facilitate the transition to zero-emission fleets. This structured framework encompasses various aspects, including technology options, hydrogen refuelling infrastructure, safety and regulation guidance, finance options, government incentives, warranty information, training programmes for driving and maintenance, and fleet assessment. The aim is to ensure a smooth transition by sharing detailed insights, information, and the resources necessary for a successful adoption of Hydrogen FCEV HGVs, aligned to partners' sustainability goals.
