For the last five years, Nippon Gases Europe has been using gas-powered vehicles to deliver products in Germany, an effort toward achieving sustainable transport for all of the company’s solutions. In January 2025, Nippon Gases Europe introduced the first hydrogen lorry to the fleet, used for the delivery of dry ice products. This milestone makes Nippon Gases Europe the first company in the industrial gases sector to use this kind of delivery method for their own products. This hydrogen lorry is an emission-free alternative, used daily to transport dry ice from the Bad Hönningen site to customers in the surrounding area. The company expects this new delivery method to save up to 69,000 kilograms of CO₂ in transport operations, compared to conventional diesel lorries. The vehicle features a box body and ventilation shafts, a range of up to 450 kilometers, and can be fully refueled in under 15 minutes.
