ULEMCo and Luxfer Gas Cylinders, a global cylinder manufacturer and pioneer in hydrogen storage solutions, today announced a strategic collaboration to accelerate the commercial deployment of hydrogen-powered mobility solutions, formalising a successful relationship spanning more than a decade.
The collaboration brings together the complementary strengths of both organisations to deliver world-class, safe and proven integrated solutions for onboard storage of hydrogen fuel in transport applications such as heavy-duty vehicles, off-road equipment, marine and rail.
Under the framework, the parties will identify and address opportunities for hydrogen fuel deployment in mobility applications. By combining Luxfer’s expertise in advanced gas cylinder technology with ULEMCo’s extensive experience in hydrogen systems integration, the partnership is well positioned to meet growing global demand.
The appetite for innovative approaches to onboard energy storage solutions is increasing, particularly in heavy-duty applications where alternative zero-emission technologies—primarily battery-electric systems—are often not cost-effective or operationally viable. This collaboration directly responds to that market need, offering practical and scalable hydrogen-based alternatives.
Together, ULEMCo and Luxfer aim to accelerate the transition to clean, resilient energy systems by integrated hydrogen storage solutions that simplify vehicle integration and support scalable commercial deployment.
Commenting on the agreement, Amanda Lyne, Managing Director of ULEMCo said: “This collaboration with Luxfer strengthens our ability to deliver integrated hydrogen solutions at scale. By aligning our capabilities, we can provide customers with efficient, safe and proven systems that support the transition to zero-emission transport.”
Keith Croysdale, Business Development Manager at Luxfer, added: “We’ve worked with ULEMCo for more than a decade, sharing a vision to advance hydrogen-powered transport. Formalising our collaboration reflects the growing commercial opportunities we see across hydrogen mobility. Together, we are making it easier for customers to deploy safe, proven hydrogen storage solutions in new and emerging transport applications.”
The companies have previously joined forces on projects including hydrogen-powered trucks, LGVs, road sweepers, a prototype ambulance and a waste collection truck that combined hydrogen with non-fossil fuel HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oil), that was the first dual fuel refuse truck of its kind in the UK. This new, formal agreement marks a significant step forward in supporting the global shift toward sustainable mobility and reduced dependence on fossil fuels.
