Based on its range of high-pressure carbon fiber composite cylinders and system expertise, FORVIA provides optimized type 3 and type 4 composite hydrogen cylinders which are suitable for modular high-capacity storage.
MEGCs are essential for regional hydrogen logistics and last-mile delivery, ensuring safe and efficient operations. This solution offers optimized logistic costs ranging from - 34% to -56% compared to standard tube trailers.
In January 2025, FORVIA announced to have joined forces with H2 Energy, a Swiss private company, to develop a common solution for hydrogen transportation. FORVIA supplies H2 Energy with optimized 38MPa hydrogen composite Type 3 cylinders, to equip Multiple Element Gas Containers (MEGCs) for hydrogen transportation. H2 Energy’s solution, enhanced with FORVIA’s cylinders, offers excellent payload capacity, increased usable hydrogen percentage, and reduced operating costs through a modular and scalable architecture available in 20 to 40 feet configurations.
