MCCULLA TRANSPORT (IRELAND) LTD PARTNERS WITH HYDROGEN VEHICLE SYSTEMS (HVS) FOR GROUNDBREAKING HYDROGEN FUEL CELL TRUCK TRIAL

Hydrogen Vehicle Systems (HVS), the UK's first Hydrogen Fuel Cell truck OEM, has entered into a strategic collaboration with McCulla Transport (Ireland) Ltd (McCulla) to explore the integration of Hydrogen Fuel Cell HGVs into the McCulla fleet.

McCulla Transport plans for HVS hydrogen trial
With a modern fleet of over 200 heavy commercial vehicles, McCulla is a leading provider of ambient, chilled and frozen logistics and storage solutions from three facilities in Lisburn, Dublin and Mallusk. They provide a fully integrated cold supply chain including cold storage and bespoke logistics solutions to anywhere in the UK, Ireland and the rest of continental Europe. 

“Our second-generation, family-owned business has shown great resilience, adaptability, and innovation since we established our company over 50 years’ ago. Our investment in sustainable transport solutions is testament to this as we explore all technologies available to provide greener fleet options for our customers. We are excited to be working with HVS here in Ireland to experience the benefits that hydrogen fuel cell technology can bring to our heavy goods operations for the long term.”
— Ashley McCulla, Managing Director at McCulla

This partnership agreement will support McCulla with their understanding of hydrogen electric fuel cell technology as these groundbreaking zero-emission vehicles become available for trial in late 2025. The sharing of vehicle data, TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) modelling, route planning, infrastructure support and performance optimisation are just some of the benefits available to clients looking to trial a HVS FCEV.

“As a market leader, McCulla understands the importance of investing in new technologies, and we are delighted to be working with Ashley and his team to help bring our revolutionary zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell truck onto their fleet. We are providing a full end-to-end solution that includes not just the truck but support with the hydrogen infrastructure that will be critical to a successful hydrogen eco system. With the recent policy announcement by the Ireland Government to provide support for fleet operators via the Zero Emission Heavy Duty Vehicle Purchase Grant, we are confident that we can accelerate the hydrogen economy, helping operators to transition to net zero and create a greener, cleaner future for generations to come.”
— John McLeister, Chief Commercial Officer for HVS

HVS aims to revolutionise the heavy-duty commercial vehicle industry. Their state-of-the-art powertrain solution, designed as a native Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV) from the ground up, promises superior efficiency, outstanding performance, and a reduced environmental impact by offering heavier payloads, longer range and faster refuelling compared to battery electric alternatives.
