(Donostia-San Sebastián, 20 December 2023). MUBIL Mobility Expo, Southern Europe’s sustainable mobility industry trade show, continues to move towards its goal of enhancing its offering to visitors and exhibitor companies with sector debate forums on real-world problems.

The Basque Hydrogen Corridor (BH2C) will hold its 3rd Meeting of the Vertical of Use in Mobility within the framework of the fourth edition of MUBIL Mobility Expo, as an exceptional opportunity to make it coincide with the professional fair. The Forum will be attended by leading companies belonging to the association that are currently developing specific projects related to hydrogen and mobility. A binomial that is presented as one of the keys to sustainable mobility and one of the most attractive alternatives to promote sustainable vehicles of the present and the future, an area where BH2C has about twenty projects.

Organisations already promoting real-world hydrogen-based projects include MUBIL itself, the company that created the trade show, a Basque Hydrogen Corridor (BH2C) partner and also a member of its Governing Council.

About the Basque Hydrogen Corridor

The Basque Hydrogen Corridor has the goal of creating a hydrogen ecosystem based in the Basque Country. Born from an initiative by Petronor and Repsol, accompanied since the start by 70 organisations including MUBIL, based on specific projects and actions, with a strategy of public-private collaboration, which allows progress to be made in the decarbonisation of the mobility energy sectors and different industrial sectors.

This initiative is based on an all-round strategy that includes 50 projects spanning the entire value chain, and it aspires to become a lever for transforming the production fabric and upholding the importance of industry in the Basque economy.
