McPhy equips the Dyneff Toulouse Sud-Sud (A61) motorway station with a hydrogen station capable of charging both heavy goods vehicles and light vehicles. With this new reference, McPhy positions itself as a major player in the hydrogen mobility segment.

McPhy Energy and Dyneff join forces to commission a hydrogen station

McPhy Energy, a specialist in low-carbon hydrogen production and distribution equipment (electrolyzers and recharging stations), today announced the commissioning of a hydrogen station with a distribution capacity of up to 60 kg per day for the Dyneff Toulouse Sud-Sud motorway distribution area in the Occitanie region. Designed and manufactured entirely in France, with feedback from nearly 10 years’ experience. All the more so as this is the first hydrogen station to be installed on a freeway in France.

At the same time as this new partnership, McPhy inaugurated its new Grenoble plant in October. A company entirely dedicated to innovation research, engineering and production of charging stations in response to the gradual acceleration of the hydrogen mobility market.

Jean-Baptiste Lucas, Chief Executive Officer of McPhy, comments: “We are delighted with this collaboration, which is a major first in France, and would like to thank Dyneff for its confidence. This new key step in the deployment of hydrogen mobility makes a concrete contribution to accelerating the decarbonization of the economy and mobility, in line with the France Relance and France 2030 plans”.
