As part of COP21, Air Liquide is preparing to install the first hydrogen charging station in Paris, in partnership with Paris-based electric taxi start-up STEP (Société du Taxi Electrique Parisien), and the support of the Paris City Council. The station will be located in the city centre and will enable the deployment of “hype”, the first fleet of hydrogen-powered electric taxis serving the Greater Paris Area. The plan for the hydrogen-powered taxi fleet is to have a headcount of 70 vehicles within five years, and “several hundred” within a year.
