French hydrogen station designer and manufacturer Hydrogène de France (HRS) has confirmed an order for a mobile HRX14 station from UK-based company Element 2. The new installation, planned for Glasgow, follows a letter of intent signed in July. It will be the first hydrogen refuelling station dedicated to heavy-duty vehicles in Scotland.

A mobile station designed for flexibility

The HRX14 station ordered by Element 2 will feature a refuelling capacity of 14 kg per hour. It is distinguished by its modular design, allowing deployment on-site within ten days. This operational mobility addresses the evolving needs of transport operators, particularly in regions where permanent infrastructure is still under development.

The Scottish order follows a previous project successfully completed in 2024 at Teesside Airport, where an HRS station was installed. The system passed factory acceptance testing in early August, in line with contractual commitments.

Accelerated deployment in the UK

Founded in 2020, Element 2 aims to build a network of 50 hydrogen stations across the UK and Ireland within five years. This plan, called “50 in 5,” seeks to establish infrastructure capable of supporting the growing adoption of hydrogen vehicles, particularly in freight and passenger transport.

The HRX14 station in Glasgow will be the fourth unit deployed by HRS in the UK. The French company is consolidating its international strategy, supported by the technical and operational recognition of its equipment.

A commercial relationship built around modularity

With stations capable of delivering up to one tonne per day already in operation in Europe and the Middle East, HRS is expanding its industrial-scale expertise. A four-tonne-per-day station is currently being manufactured for a European energy company.

According to official statements, the HRX14’s installation flexibility and scalability were decisive in Element 2’s decision. The mobile solution developed in partnership with HRS allows real-world hydrogen vehicle testing while maintaining cost-optimised deployment logic.
