Renault y el especialista en pilas de combustible Plug Power planean establecer una empresa conjunta al 50:50 en Francia para mediados de 2021. Su objetivo es alcanzar una cuota superior al 30% del mercado europeo de veh\u00edculos industriales ligeros (VIL) propulsados por pilas de combustible.<\/p>\n
++ Este art\u00edculo ha sido actualizado. Por favor, contin\u00fae leyendo a continuaci\u00f3n. ++<\/em><\/p>\n Las dos empresas han firmado un memorando de entendimiento (MoU) para establecer la empresa conjunta. Renault deja claro en una declaraci\u00f3n enviada por correo electr\u00f3nico que hemos recibido que tiene la intenci\u00f3n de convertirse en el l\u00edder del mercado europeo de veh\u00edculos industriales ligeros de pila de combustible junto con Enchufe<\/a>. La empresa est\u00e1 especializada en sistemas de pilas de combustible de hidr\u00f3geno ecol\u00f3gico y tiene su sede en Nueva York. El objetivo es desarrollar en Francia la capacidad de innovaci\u00f3n y fabricaci\u00f3n de sistemas de pilas de combustible y su integraci\u00f3n en veh\u00edculos. Los veh\u00edculos comerciales ligeros, junto con las cabinas y las furgonetas de pasajeros propulsadas por FC, estar\u00e1n en el centro de una oferta m\u00e1s amplia que se extender\u00e1 a todo el ecosistema del hidr\u00f3geno para el repostaje y el mantenimiento de las flotas.<\/p>\n La futura empresa conjunta tendr\u00e1 competencias en I+D, fabricaci\u00f3n y ventas. En t\u00e9rminos de I+D, Renault y Plug Power tienen previsto crear un centro de innovaci\u00f3n para desarrollar tecnolog\u00edas de pila de combustible y veh\u00edculos basados en las plataformas existentes y futuras del Grupo Renault. La empresa francesa afirma que el enfoque inicial se centrar\u00e1 en el segmento de las furgonetas pesadas, bas\u00e1ndose en las plataformas de veh\u00edculos Trafic y Master.<\/p>\n La empresa conjunta pretende establecer en Francia un centro de fabricaci\u00f3n verticalmente integrado para pilas de combustible y sistemas en el frente de fabricaci\u00f3n. El director general de Renault, Luca de Meo, afirma que el proyecto de la empresa conjunta se ajusta plenamente a la estrategia de Renault de ofrecer soluciones de pila de combustible para veh\u00edculos industriales ligeros. Renault anunci\u00f3 en Octubre de 2019<\/a> que estaba planeando llevar la pila de combustible a los veh\u00edculos comerciales ligeros, aunque esto se anunci\u00f3 como un extensor de autonom\u00eda. Junto con los veh\u00edculos de pila de combustible de hidr\u00f3geno, tambi\u00e9n se construir\u00e1n localmente sistemas de repostaje.<\/p>\n El consejero delegado de Plug Power, Andy Marsh, afirma que esta empresa puede \"combinar nuestra tecnolog\u00eda con su experiencia de d\u00e9cadas liderando el mercado automovil\u00edstico europeo\". Espera que estos elementos conviertan a la empresa conjunta en \"l\u00edder del mercado de furgonetas pesadas de pila de combustible en Europa\".<\/p>\n En t\u00e9rminos de ventas, los socios prev\u00e9n ofrecer todo un conjunto de soluciones adem\u00e1s de los veh\u00edculos. Las dos empresas afirman que esta asociaci\u00f3n crear\u00e1 una \"empresa de soluciones ecosist\u00e9micas\" para veh\u00edculos de hidr\u00f3geno que ofrecer\u00e1 veh\u00edculos, estaciones de abastecimiento de hidr\u00f3geno, combustible de hidr\u00f3geno y servicios a los clientes. El d\u00fao espera que este enfoque acelere la adopci\u00f3n por parte de las flotas comerciales.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Renault y el especialista en pilas de combustible Plug Power tienen previsto crear una empresa conjunta al 50:50 en Francia para mediados de 2021.

The American company says it has installed more than 40,000 fuel cell systems to date and developed and built 110 refuelling stations. Plug Power is known as an advocate and technology leader for green hydrogen solutions based on electrolysis.<\/p>\n The JV is expected to begin launching fuel cell-powered light commercial vehicles in Europe this year as part of pilot fleets. The joint venture will be provided with the necessary resources by Renault and Plug Power to achieve the joint venture’s goals. So far no indication has been given on what kind of fiscal scale this venture will operate. Although the plan is to kick off soon, the partners still need to get the green light from unions and the relevant competition authorities.<\/p>\n Also in France, Plug Power has recently begun cooperating with Gaussin<\/a>, a manufacturer of specialised vehicles. Globally too, the company is also putting out feelers in other regions of the world. A few days ago, the South Korean SK Group invested 1.5 billion U.S. dollars in Plug Power<\/a>, acquiring just under ten per cent of the shares in the US specialist. SK Group and Plug Power are also planning to set up a joint venture in South Korea by 2022 to provide fuel cell systems, hydrogen filling stations and electrolysers for the fast-growing Asian market.<\/p>\n In terms of market-ready players with similar approaches, the fleet and hydrogen refuelling ecosystem approach was first trialled on the European continent by Hyundai<\/a> with its Xcent trucks in Switzerland. More recently, Toyota launched a business unit for hydrogen fuel cell activities<\/a> for commercial vehicles and refuelling ecosystems in Europe.<\/p>\n In Europe, the climate for rapid action on green hydrogen eco-systems is favourable with several governmental and industrial initiatives recently backing the hydrogen economy. In summer 2020, the European Commission adopted<\/a> the EU strategy for Energy System Integration and Hydrogen with a specific focus on commercial vehicles and hydrogen infrastructure. In December 2020, twenty-two EU member states and Norway have signed a declaration of intent stating their willingness to support the development of a European value chain for green hydrogen<\/a> in particular and to invest billions of euros accordingly.<\/p>\n Update 04 June 2021<\/strong>:\u00a0Renault Group and Plug Power have now launched their fuel cell light commercial vehicle joint venture in Europe, announced in January. The company, which is owned equally by both partners, is called Hyvia and is headed by David Holderbach. Hyvia is composed of “Hy” for hydrogen and “Via” for way or road.<\/p>\n Hyvia’s activities will be carried out at existing Renault sites in France. The joint venture’s headquarters and product development will be located in Villiers-Saint-Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric, Renault Group’s light commercial vehicle research and development centre, to maximise synergies between the teams. The process, manufacturing and logistics teams will be based in Flins as part of the Re-Factory project and plan to start assembling fuel cells and charging stations by the end of 2021. The first Renault Master-based vehicles will be assembled at the Batilly plant. Fuel cell integration will be handled by PVI, a subsidiary of Renault Group based in Gretz-Armainvilliers since 2017.<\/p>\n There is also an update on the timeline for the planned vehicles: The first three fuel cell vehicles that Hyvia plans to launch should be available in Europe by the end of 2021. As mentioned, the vehicles will be based on the Renault Master platform. A van and a chassis cab version are planned for freight transport, as well as a city bus version for passenger transport. Ranges of 500 kilometres and a refuelling time of three minutes are announced.<\/p>\n Source: via email, plugpower.com<\/a>, renault.com<\/a>, renaultgroup.com<\/a> (update)<\/p>\n"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/146819","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=146819"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/146819\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":222636,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/146819\/revisions\/222636"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/121139"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=146819"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=146819"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=146819"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
