Developing service stations [ Return towards  Air Liquide and hydrogen  ]

Air Liquide engineers are developing distribution stations to fill cars’ tanks with gaseous hydrogen pressurized up to 700 bars. The innovative technologies that the Group’s teams have developed enable a car to be filled in less than 5 minutes, under conditions as simple as those for gasoline or diesel, in complete safety.

Air Liquide has already built and installed more than 50 distribution stations worldwide.

For example, General Motors chose the Group’s technologies to fill up vehicles developed in the U.S. in the framework of its Driveway program. Air Liquide has also worked with Nissan and Renault.

Air Liquide has been a technological partner since the beginning of the Michelin's Bibendum Challenge. Dedicated to clean mobility, the Challenge is the occasion to highlight innovative and ecological means of transportation. A growing number of vehicles powered by hydrogen is presented each year.
