Uber massively expands hydrogen fleet in Paris.
Uber plans to build a hydrogen taxi fleet in Paris. According to the news site Hydrogeninsight, the ride-hailing service intends to deploy around 2,000 hydrogen-powered vehicles in the French capital within five years. For this purpose, the company has invested an undisclosed amount in the French company HysetCo.
HysetCo specializes in the leasing and refueling of hydrogen vehicles and, according to its own statements, operates eight hydrogen filling stations in the greater Paris area. With the agreement, the share of fuel-cell vehicles in the Paris Uber fleet is to rise significantly. By the end of this year, every fifth vehicle should be powered by a fuel cell.
Toyota delivers vehicles of the Mirai type
The vehicles are delivered by the manufacturer Toyota. The model “Mirai,” which is powered by a fuel cell, is used. Details on the exact annual quantity or on the distribution within the fleet were not disclosed.
The background is a changing market for hydrogen taxis in Paris. About a year ago, the company Hype halted the operation of its fuel-cell taxi fleet in the Greater Paris area. The reason cited was the sharply rising hydrogen prices.
Ownership structure of HysetCo
Hype founded HysetCo in 2017 as a subsidiary, but later sold its stake. According to Hydrogeninsight, HysetCo is majority-owned by the French hydrogen investor "Hy24".
It is unclear what has happened to the approximately 300 Mirai vehicles previously deployed by Hype. According to Hydrogeninsight, there is speculation that Uber could now be using these vehicles. Uber has been active in Paris since October 2022. (Source: Hydrogeninsight)
