DHL Express 是的国际快递服务提供商，是德国邮政 DHL 集团内家测试氢燃料长途运输卡车的公司。作为由 WaterstofNet 协调的 Interreg NW Europe 计划 H2-Share 的一部分，DHL 与其客户 Apple 一起在荷兰布雷达和比利时布鲁塞尔之间驾驶该车辆。该计划的目标是促进用于物流应用的氢低碳重型车辆的开发，并在不同地区获得实践经验。它为零排放重型汽车产业的发展创造了跨国生活实验室和基础。
“在全球化的世界中，可持续和清洁的燃料对于气候中和物流至关重要。不仅适用于海运和空运，还适用于长途公路货运，因为它们有助于减少 CO 2排放，”DHL Express Europe 执行官 Alberto Nobis 说。“这就是为什么我们不仅致力于我们车队的电气化，而且还投资开发用于超长距离的替代驱动系统。该项目表明，如果我们联手并积累经验，我们可以在欧洲实现真正的零排放物流。”
虽然电池电动卡车可以在一英里交付中高效运行，但氢等可再生能源的燃料对于零排放线路运输至关重要。由于其巨大的潜力，DHL Express 现在正在测试一辆重型车辆，配备 VDL 的燃料电池增程器。这辆卡车由荷兰拿骚 Sneltransport 运营，每天行驶约 200 公里，运行在荷兰和比利时之间的跨境路线。作为项目的一部分，卡车每天在布雷达的 Wystrach 移动加油站加油。它运送 DHL Express 的客户 Apple 的货物。在试点阶段，新技术*多可减少 350 吨 CO 2。
根据其可持续发展路线图，德国邮政敦豪集团正在大力投资于替代燃料的使用。氢正在开辟一个新市场，可以为绿色交通解决方案做出贡献。该项目的见解有助于这种燃料替代品的潜力并支持决策过程。
DHL Express, the world's leading international express service provider, is the first within Deutsche Post DHL Group to test hydrogen-fueled trucks for the long haul. Together with its customer Apple, DHL pilots the vehicle between Breda, the Netherlands, and Brussels, Belgium, as part of the Interreg NW Europe program H2-Share, coordinated by WaterstofNet. The program's goal is to facilitate the development of low-carbon heavy-duty vehicles on hydrogen for logistic applications and gain practical experience in different regions. It creates a transnational living lab and basis for the development of the zero-emission heavy-duty vehicle industry.
“In a globalized world, sustainable and clean fuels are essential for climate-neutral logistics. Not only for sea and air freight but also line-haul road freight, as these help reduce CO2 emissions,” says Alberto Nobis, CEO DHL Express Europe. “That's why we engage not only in the electrification of our fleet but also invest in the development of alternative drive systems for very long ranges. The project shows that we can achieve truly emission-free logistics in Europe if we join forces and build on experience.”
While battery-electric trucks can operate efficiently within last-mile delivery, fuels from renewable energies such as hydrogen are essential for zero-emission line-haul. Due to their vast potential, DHL Express is now testing a heavy-duty vehicle, with a fuel cell range extender from VDL. The truck, operated by Dutch Nassau Sneltransport, covers a daily distance of around 200 km, running the cross-border route between the Netherlands and Belgium. The truck refuels on a daily basis in Breda at a mobile fuel station from Wystrach as part of the project. It transports deliveries of DHL Express’ customer Apple. During the piloting phase, up to 350 tons of CO2 can be saved with the new technology.
In line with its Sustainability Roadmap, Deutsche Post DHL Group is heavily investing in the use of alternative fuels. Hydrogen is opening up a new market and can contribute to green transport solutions. Insights from the project help evaluate the potential of this fuel alternative and support decision-making processes.
