Hexagon Purus (Norway), a world leading manufacturer of zero-emission mobility and infrastructure solutions, has entered into a multi-year agreement with Stadler, a leading manufacturer of rail applications, for delivery of hydrogen fuel storage systems for hydrogen rail applications in California.

The Type 4 hydrogen fuel storage systems will be produced in Hexagon Purus’ facility in Kassel, Germany.

“At Stadler, we are committed to reducing operational emissions and developing efficient and environmentally friendly rail solutions in collaboration with experienced partners, like Hexagon Purus. Leveraging our extensive portfolio and leadership in alternative drive systems, we provide our customers with optimal solutions tailored to their needs," says Martin Ritter, CEO Division Stadler North America.

“Hydrogen is an attractive solution to decarbonize rail transport, especially for regions like California where full electrification is not viable”, says Michael Kleschinski, EVP Hydrogen Mobility & Infrastructure. “We are thrilled to sign this agreement with Stadler as a continuation of our long-term collaboration, and we are looking forward to supporting their efforts in rolling out hydrogen trains in the US”.
