Mannok plans future trial of hydrogen fuel cell trucks

Mannok Build has entered into an agreement with Hydrogen Vehicle Systems (HVS) to explore the integration of Hydrogen Fuel Cell HGVs into its fleet.
 
The Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) outlines the partnership's objective to provide Mannok with trial vehicles to test the application of HVS hydrogen fuel cell HGVs on its fleet, when they become in late 2025. Following this phase, Mannok will be in a favourable position to initiate the conversion of part of its fleet to these zero-emission HGVs.
 
Kevin Lunney, Chief Operations Officer for Mannok, said, "We are excited about this partnership with HVS as it aligns perfectly with our commitment to sustainability and innovation. By exploring the integration of hydrogen fuel cell HGVs into our fleet, we are taking a crucial step towards achieving our net-zero carbon goals."
