In Spain, Ambar beer and logistics company Carreras have started a pioneering test of transport with renewable hydrogen, in collaboration with Repsol, Zoilo Ríos and EVARM. The test, which will last three months, seeks to reduce CO2e emissions by 30 tons in the transfer of beer from the Ambar factory, on the Castellón road, to the central warehouse of Carreras, in the Logistics Platform of Zaragoza (Plaza).
To overcome the shortage of hydrogen vehicles in Spain, the project has adapted a hybrid trailer capable of operating with renewable diesel and / or hydrogen, which allows it to also face long distance journeys. The tractor head, developed by the company EVARM, comes from a model with two consecutive victories in the Mission 1000 category of the Dakar Rally, intended for vehicles powered by alternative energy.
The vehicle consumes about 16 liters of renewable diesel and 3 kilos of hydrogen per 100 kilometers, compared to the 33-35 liters of B7 diesel from a conventional truck. With this combination, the transport of beer will significantly reduce your carbon footprint.
