Last week on Wednesday, October 15, 2025 At the iconic Spa-Francorchamps circuit, Belgium signalled its ambition to lead Europe’s hydrogen mobility transition. During a dynamic showcase, Cluster Tweed, Virya Energy and Colruyt Group unveiled concrete steps to scale green hydrogen for heavy-duty transport, showcasing real-world applications and collaboration across the entire hydrogen value chain.
The event featured live demonstrations of hydrogen-powered trucks operating under real conditions, emphasizing the technology’s readiness for demanding logistics applications. Attendees, including industry representatives, policymakers, and mobility stakeholders, gained firsthand insight into the operational capabilities of hydrogen vehicles and the infrastructure supporting them.
Colruyt Group reaffirmed its commitment to achieving zero-emission freight transport across its entire logistics chain by 2030. Through its Zero Emission Transport (ZET) programme, the company is pioneering the decarbonisation of its logistics activities. As part of the European H2Haul project, Colruyt Group is the first Belgian retailer to deploy 44-tonne hydrogen trucks for daily logistics operations. These hydrogen-powered trucks mark an important step towards the company’s goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions in heavy duty transport to zero.
“Hydrogen transport is gaining ground as a strong alternative to electric, driven by momentum in heavy-duty logistics. Colruyt Group is committed to transitioning part of its 44-tonne fleet to hydrogen trucks” – Stefan Goethaert, CEO Colruyt Group.
