Hype is the developer behind France’s first integrated hydrogen mobility platform and an operator of a large hydrogen taxi fleet. Launched in Paris in 2015, Hype has operated what the article calls the world’s largest fleet of hydrogen‑powered taxis for the past seven years. The company integrates hydrogen supply, production, distribution and uses with taxis as the initial market. Hype plans to deploy its platform in 15 other regions across France and around the world by the end of 2025. Under a strategic partnership with VINCI Concessions, VINCI Energies will be Hype’s exclusive partner to build new hydrogen production and distribution infrastructure in the Greater Paris area. The partnership anticipates opening 26 refuelling stations with locally produced hydrogen in the next three years, including 20 stations with a capacity of 1 tonne per day. VINCI Concessions will also support Hype’s expansion of its station network in France and abroad. VINCI Concessions has invested €15 million in Hype through instruments providing access to capital alongside strategic partners HRS and McPhy.
