Agrola: Hydrogen for the trucks
ENERGY HUB Landi Luzern-West has put one of the most powerful H2 filling stations in Europe into operation at its site in Schötz. Three trucks and one passenger car can be refueled with green hydrogen at the same time.
In Schötz, Lucerne, the 13th hydrogen filling station in Switzerland is in operation, making it the third Agrola brand station after Zofingen and Rothenburg. Landi Luzern-West is thus investing in the promising hydrogen mobility of the future, which will become increasingly important, especially in heavy goods traffic. The filling station is specially designed to meet the needs of trucks.
Mark Muff, Head of Energy and Member of the Executive Board of Landi Luzern-West: "Numerous logistics companies are located in the immediate vicinity of our site. In close cooperation with them, a forward-looking energy hub has been created."
Exclusively green hydrogen
Unique in Europe is that three trucks and one passenger car can be refueled simultaneously in Schötz. Parallel refueling is made possible by the installation of additional medium-pressure storage tanks, which are continuously filled with hydrogen from the mobile containers using compressors. As at all Agrola filling stations, only green hydrogen is offered in Schötz.
Washing plant for trucks and buses
A washing plant operated in accordance with the new standards rounds off the range of services in Schötz. It is also a first for Agrola. Trucks, buses and also cars are cleaned with high pressure in the 27-meter-long 3-brush gantry. The daily capacity of the washing plant is up to 40 vehicles. With the energy hub in Schötz, Landi Luzern-West is making a contribution to the targeted decarbonization of road traffic as well as to the implementation of the federal government's Energy Strategy 2050.
Mark Muff: "This is another step towards sustainable mobility and a response to the increasing demand for environmentally friendly transport solutions."
