A consortium of companies, including Vissers Energy Group, has been awarded almost 5 million euros from the Hydrogen in Mobility Subsidy (SWiM) scheme. Most of that money will be used to purchase hydrogen-powered vehicles and about €1 million will be put into the construction of a hydrogen refuelling station in Venlo.

The SWiM funds were recently awarded to several consortia with hydrogen ambitions. A total of 28 million euros went to several of these partnerships. According to the Rijksdienst voor Ondernemend Nederland, that money is good for around 200 additional hydrogen-powered vehicles. For this year, the subsidy pot will also be topped up to the tune of €40 million.

Vissers, together with E-Lions, SJT Venlo, Looop Logistics, Nijsen Company, Medicura, Connect Autolease and several other parties, forms a consortium that was awarded almost 5 million euros from the scheme. “Part of this amount will be used for the realisation of a large-scale hydrogen filling station in Venlo, while 4 million euros will be spent on the purchase of hydrogen-powered vehicles by our logistics partners,” Vissers explained.

Accelerating energy transition

“The realisation of the hydrogen filling station in Venlo and the deployment of hydrogen-powered vehicles contributes to accelerating energy transition, not only in Limburg, but also in the Netherlands. This project highlights the power of cooperation and innovation and provides a springboard for further hydrogen developments.”
