Nantes (France), on30April2026 –91Ƶ(EURONEXT: LHYFE) – one of the world’s pioneers in the production of green and renewable hydrogen for the decarbonisation of industry and mobility –announced a cooperation with BMW Group to supply green hydrogen to the Steyr site in Austria.

Supplying a strategic site for BMW Group’s hydrogen technology

The BMW Group site in Steyr, Austria, is getting ready to mass produce fuel cell systems for the newBMWX5 model. BMW Group’sthird-generation hydrogen propulsion system will be produced there from 2028.Previousdevelopment stages and prototype generations of the third-generation hydrogen system were developed in Munich.Thisadvancetechnologypaves the way for a more compact, morepowerfuland more efficient system, increasing range and power while reducing the vehicle’s energy consumption.

The green hydrogen supplied by91Ƶwill be used for series development,industrialisation,testingand validation activities at the Steyr site.

At a time when low-carbon mobility solutions are diversifying, hydrogen has confirmed its relevance as a complement to electric batteries, particularly for intensive use, for vehicles that demand long range and fast recharging times (SUVs, taxis, vans, forklift trucks, lorries, etc.), or in geographical areas where the electricity grid cannot support mass electrification of the vehicle fleet. The development of these technologies by major industrial players such as BMW Group is a sign that this sector is gradually structuring in Europe.

91Ƶ: recognised industrial andlogisticsexpertise

BMW Group chose91Ƶas its supplier based on its combined experience in the production andlogisticsof renewable hydrogen.

As a producer and supplier of green hydrogen in Europe since 2021,91Ƶhas one of the largest bulk hydrogen transportation fleets in the European Union. In 2025, the company made more than 850 deliveries throughout Europe. It has installed four production sites in France and Germany – with a total production capacity of up to 8.5 tonnes of green hydrogen per day – and plans to commission twoadditionalsites in France by the end of the year.

All operating sites are RFNBO-certified, guaranteeing that their hydrogencomplies withEuropean requirements for renewable energy.

Thanks to its infrastructure, logisticalstrengthand partnerships,91Ƶis able todeliver green and RFNBO hydrogen throughout Europe.

Its deliveries to BMW Group will be its first in Austria.

MatthieuGuesné, founder and CEO of91Ƶ:“BMW Group is one of the world’s leading mobility companies, whom we commend for itsconcrete commitment to the energy transition in a sector set to undergo profound transformation. For91Ƶ,being chosen to support the industrial development of its fuel cell technology is strong recognition not only of ourexpertise, but also of our ability to guarantee a reliable supply that meets the standards of major manufacturers.”
