Hyundai announced plans to build a scalable Hyundai hydrogen truck station for Class-8 heavy-duty zero-emission vehicles at this year’s ACT Expo. The company will open the station 10 miles from the Port of Savannah, Georgia, one of the country’s busiest freight hubs. Hyundai will partner with HTWO Logistics, HydroFleet, and Capital Development Partners to build the HTWO Energy Savannah facility. They plan to begin operations in late fall 2025.
“HTWO Energy Savannah is a breakthrough hydrogen production and refueling station for the heavy-duty trucking industry. This allows zero-emissions trucks to quickly and easily refuel at a single convenient location in the Savannah region,” said Jim Park, SVP, commercial vehicle and hydrogen fuel cell business, Hyundai Motor North America. “The HTWO Energy Savannah hydrogen station will also truly fulfill our vision for HMGMA Clean Logistics. It will allow our innovative new electric vehicle plant to transport plant shipments within a clean, zero-emissions ecosystem.”
Scalable Hyundai Hydrogen Truck Station Supports Future Growth
HTWO Energy Savannah will initially produce 1,200 kilograms (approx. 2,600 pounds) of hydrogen per day to support fast-fill zero-emission trucking operations. Hyundai designed the infrastructure to scale up to 4,200 kilograms (approx. 9,000 pounds) daily to meet growing demand.
Public-Private Cooperation Powers Regional Hydrogen Economy
“HTWO Energy Savannah represents the type of forward-thinking infrastructure the Southeast is ready for. A site that not only meets the demands of today’s heavy-duty fleets but also paves the way for a scalable hydrogen economy in our region,” said Des Carlisle, executive director of the Southeast Hydrogen Energy Alliance. “We are proud to support the collaboration between Hyundai, HydroFleet, and Capital Development Partners. We see this project as a blueprint for how public-private cooperation can accelerate zero-emission logistics while strengthening regional energy resilience.”
