FORVIA is one of the world's leading providers of hydrogen storage systems for commercial vehicles, delivering industrialized solutions that enable long-range, zero-emission transportation without compromising payload, uptime or operational efficiency.
With more than 70,000 hydrogen cylinders delivered worldwide and over 34 million kilometers accumulated in real-world operation, FORVIA supports vehicle manufacturers accelerating the transition toward hydrogen-powered mobility.
Designed for hydrogen trucks, buses, light commercial vehicles and intensive-use applications, our hydrogen storage systems combine advanced vessel technologies, system integration expertise and global industrial capabilities to help OEMs bring hydrogen vehicles to market faster and at scale.
FORVIA benefits from a unique international footprint with engineering, industrialization and manufacturing capabilities across Europe, China and Asia, supporting both regional and global vehicle programs.
Our hydrogen storage technologies have been deployed in demanding commercial vehicle applications where vehicle availability, durability, safety and total cost of ownership are critical performance criteria.
By combining certified hydrogen cylinders, integrated storage systems and automotive-grade manufacturing standards, FORVIA enables simplified integration, faster time-to-market and industrialized hydrogen storage solutions at scale.
Since 2021, FORVIA has supplied complete vertical hydrogen storage systems delivered as fully integrated and pre-tested plug-and-play modules.
Installed behind the cab, these systems are designed to maximize onboard hydrogen capacity while preserving cargo and operational flexibility.
Each module integrates:
- Type IV hydrogen cylinders
- Pressure management components
- Hydrogen distribution piping
- Safety devices
- Sensors and monitoring systems
- Pre-engineered support structure
Available in both 350 bar (35 MPa) and 700 bar (70 MPa) configurations, the systems enable long driving range, fast refueling and optimized payload for fuel-cell commercial vehicles.
Pre-assembly and end-of-line validation significantly reduce vehicle integration time while ensuring the highest standards of safety, reliability and quality.
FORVIA offers one of the industry's broadest portfolios of certified hydrogen storage solutions, including:
- Type III hydrogen tanks
- Type IV hydrogen cylinders
- Complete onboard storage systems
- Hydrogen transport and distribution solutions (MEGC)
FORVIA develops both Type III and Type IV hydrogen storage technologies to address a wide range of commercial vehicle requirements.
Our latest generation of hydrogen cylinders has been developed specifically for commercial vehicle applications where long range, payload preservation and operational continuity are key success factors.
Through continuous innovation, automation and manufacturing optimization, FORVIA has significantly increased storage performance while reducing system costs, supporting the large-scale deployment of hydrogen mobility solutions.
FORVIA has successfully industrialized hydrogen storage systems for leading vehicle manufacturers across China, Europe and North America, supporting applications ranging from light commercial vehicles to heavy-duty trucks and intensive-use fleet operations.
Our technologies have been selected by leading mobility players worldwide, including Zhizi Auto and SAIC MAXUS in China, Stellantis hydrogen light commercial vehicles, Renault Hyvia and Hyundai XCIENT programs in Europe, as well as and SAVAGE hydrogen truck projects in North America.
These programs demonstrate FORVIA's ability to deliver scalable, certified and industrialized hydrogen storage solutions that help OEMs accelerate time-to-market, enhance vehicle range, preserve payload capacity, enable fast refueling and support the transition to zero-emission commercial mobility.
