First Hydrogen Bus Fuelling in New Zealand Powered by Partnership Between Haskel Hydrogen Systems and Hiringa Energy

Stephen Learney, general manager of Haskel, states, “We are proud to be part of a trifecta in a world-leading move toward hydrogen mobility. New Zealand is a first-mover, committing to building out the hydrogen refuelling infrastructure in 2021 through this partnership between Hiringa and Haskel Hydrogen Solutions.”

Hiringa’s Chief Technology Officer, Dan Kahn states, “This is a great way to kick off 2021, and a significant milestone for commercial hydrogen refuelling across New Zealand. It is a great opportunity to collaborate with industry leaders in hydrogen infrastructure and vehicle manufacturing.”

Haskel’s support on this project furthers Hiringa’s work to establish one of the world’s first nationwide hydrogen refuelling networks, coming online in New Zealand throughout 2021. Paul Peverley, Haskel’s Sales Director for Australia and New Zealand says “partnering with a skilled operator like Hiringa allows us to introduce Haskel’s industry leading products to hydrogen refuelling opportunities in a rapidly advancing region.”

At this newly completed station, Haskel’s hydrogen compression system will support the fuelling of buses and trucks up to 350 bar working pressure. The system’s and station’s capabilities demonstrate the viability and availability of hydrogen refuelling throughout New Zealand. 

Haskel Hydrogen Systems has previously delivered and installed multiple hydrogen systems globally that have been built to fit the needs of the regions they are serving. The group anticipates increased system deployment in 2021. Learn more about Haskel’s hydrogen refuelling infrastructure capabilities for both large and small scale fleets:
