The cost of installing a conventional hydrogen refueling station is about 4 to 6 hundred million yen. It is more expensive than a gas station. This makes it harder to increase the number of stations.

To solve this problem, we developed "Hydro Shuttle", a package-type hydrogen refueling station.

By integrating the 4 main components of a hydrogen refueling station, i.e. the dispenser, Pre-cool heat exchanger, hydrogen gas booster, and C-FRP vessel, into a single unit, we significantly reduced the installation costs. In addition, we simplified the structure of each piece of equipment, successfully reducing the cost by about 1/2 compared to that of our conventional hydrogen refueling stations.

Hydro Shuttle has a compact size of about 9 m (length) x 2 m (width) x 2.6 m (height) and requires a minimum installation space. It can be used as a stationary station, or loaded onto a truck and used as a mobile station.

We will contribute to the future of FCVs by providing low-cost equipment.
