Hydrogen Vehicle Systems (HVS), the UK’s first Hydrogen Fuel Cell truck OEM, to explore the integration of Hydrogen Fuel Cell HGVs into the Mannok fleet. This strategic collaboration marks the beginning of a groundbreaking zero emission commercial vehicle trial showcasing Mannok’s commitment to sustainability to achieve its net-zero carbon goal by 2050.

The MOA outlines the partnership’s objective to provide Mannok with trial vehicles to test the application of HVS hydrogen fuel cell HGVs on its fleet. The trial is set to commence when these groundbreaking vehicles become available for trial in late 2025.  Following this phase, Mannok will be in a favourable position to initiate the conversion of part of its fleet to these cutting edge, zero-emission HGVs.

Mannok is renowned for its manufacturing and service excellence in the UK and Ireland and has been a leading provider of premium construction products and sustainable consumer packaging solutions for over 50 years. The company’s commitment to sustainability and innovation is evident in its diverse range of products. As one of the largest employers and contributors to the social and economic prosperity of the region, Mannok’s embrace of hydrogen fuel cell HGVs aligns seamlessly with its broader goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

Kevin Lunney, Chief Operations Officer for Mannok, said,

“We are excited about this partnership with HVS as it aligns perfectly with our commitment to sustainability and innovation. By exploring the integration of hydrogen fuel cell HGVs into our fleet, we are taking a crucial step towards achieving our net-zero carbon goals.”
