Regulatory News:
Total (Paris:FP) (LSE:TTA) (NYSE:TOT) announces the acquisition
of a stake in Hysetco, a French company dedicated to the
development of hydrogen mobility in cities. Hysetco owns the
largest fleet of hydrogen taxis in the world, launched in 2015 and
operated in the Île-de-France region under the Hype brand, as well
as hydrogen stations.
The Hype project aims to demonstrate for the first time on a
large scale the viability of zero-emission hydrogen vehicles for
urban mobility.
With the acquisition of a 20% stake, Total joins Hysetco’s
historical shareholders: STEP (Société du Taxi Electrique
Parisien), Air Liquide, Toyota and Kouros.
Hysetco currently owns around 700 taxis in Paris, with still a
majority of diesel vehicles that will transition gradually to
become exclusively comprised of hydrogen vehicles by 2024. The
hydrogen taxis are fueled by a dedicated network of hydrogen
stations operated by Hysetco. This network is expected to expand in
the coming years to support the growth of hydrogen vehicle fleet.
Total will make its network of service-stations available to
Hysetco to contribute to the growth of this network of hydrogen
stations.
“This acquisition is a concrete commitment and an acceleration
for Total in hydrogen mobility. We are delighted to be working with
partners whose skills and expertise complement each other
throughout the hydrogen vehicle value chain,” declared Patrick
Pouyanné, Chairman and CEO of Total. “After investing in the
new Bélib’ network of charge points for electric vehicles, Total is
contributing to position Paris as a showcase for new carbon-neutral
urban mobility for businesses and consumers. Total is thus
continuing to accelerate its transformation into TotalEnergies, a
leading broad-energy player in the energy transition.”
