Working together for a greener future
The hydrogen mobility project at the Viva Energy Hub in Geelong aims to demonstrate the practical use of hydrogen in hard to decarbonise sectors such as trucks and buses across a variety of heavy transport applications. These include road freight, public transport, municipal waste management, water treatment and general fleet vehicles.
A diverse group of businesses will operate up to 15 hydrogen-powered heavy vehicles between them, offering a multitude of services in Geelong and South Western Victoria.
The project will demonstrate the successful use of these vehicles on Victorian roads and will see them operating day-to-day in the local community.
Through this market-leading initiative, Viva Energy and our partners will actively reduce the carbon footprint of the heavy vehicles the economy relies on every day.
