France-based Air Liquide helps complete two new hydrogen stations in Japan

Air Liquide said it participated in a ceremony January 18 to mark the completion of two hydrogen filling stations in the cities of Nagoya and Toyota.

They are the first public use hydrogen stations for fuel cell electric vehicles in those areas and will make it possible to fill in less than 5 minutes with about 500km autonomy depending on which model.

Air Liquide, which has installed more than 60 hydrogen stations worldwide, was in charge of the design and installations of the stations. The work was completed in partnerships with a local company.

Air Liquide operates hydrogen filling stations for the general public in Europe, including Netherlands and Germany, as well as in the United States. Air Liquide has already built other locations in Tokyo, Kawasaki and Saga.
