Daimler Truck, HHLA and Kawasaki Heavy Industries launch strategic partnership to establish liquid hydrogen supply chain for Europe

Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG (HHLA), Daimler Truck AG (Daimler Truck), and Kawasaki Heavy Industries ltd. have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that aims to explore the development of a reliable and cost-effective supply chain for green liquid hydrogen via the Port of Hamburg to the European hinterland.

This collaboration, established at the international trade fair Hydrogen Technology World Expo in Germany, is designed to enable the import of liquid hydrogen from hydrogen-producing countries to Germany, reinforcing Hamburg’s role as a hub for sustainable energy logistics.

Over the coming months, the partners will assess the logistical requirements for transshipment and onward transport by road and rail.
