Zaragoza company Calvera Hydrogen has more than 40 years of experience in designing and manufacturing compression, transport, storage and distribution of hydrogen at high pressure Developed at its facilities in Zaragoza (Spain) under the highest safety standards. World’s largest capacity hydrogen Tube Trailer model. The team prepares to carry a ton of hydrogen on US roads. and over 1.3 tonnes (approximately 2,870 pounds) On EU roads (due to different road weight regulations in each region), with a working pressure of 517 bar. These figures make it the tube trailer with the highest working pressure on the international market.

It is made of state-of-the-art carbon fiber and is 45 feet long. in a project developed for the multinational Shell Hydrogen that will be used to service the company’s hydrogen refueling stations around the world. The two companies have been working together for more than two years on the engineering and technological development of this project, which will take its first steps in the United States and Germany. Right now, As a result of the framework agreement between both companies, new units of this tube trailer model are being developed. To meet the hydrogen transport needs of Shell’s refueling stations United States, Europe and United Kingdom.

The equipment is designed to maximize the capacity and pressure of the stored hydrogen, thereby providing maximum efficiency and cost savings in the hydrogen delivery process at hydrogen refueling stations by acting through automatic valves integrated into the control system at different pressure stages. dual function of mobile and fixed smart storage.

Ricardo CalveraCalvera Hydrogen Technical Manager said, “It is an honor to collaborate so closely with such a high-quality team as Shell Hydrogen to carry out this emblematic project. We would like to thank the company for its trust in our technical capacity, experience and meticulous approach to safety”. This project stands out for the innovation and complexity of its design and was designed under the highest safety standards. Oliver Bishop, Managing Director of Shell Hydrogen, said: “This new project represents our growth and leadership in this rapidly evolving global hydrogen supply industry, for which Shell Hydrogen is determined to become a world leader.”
