Do you think that hydrogen is the energy vector of tomorrow, transforming mobility towards zero emissions?
Develop and operate high-performance, safe and certified hydrogen vehicles that are perfectly integrated into an optimized hydrogen delivery infrastructure
Welcome to
the future of zero-emission transportation
Discover how hydrogen is transforming mobility and energy storage. With our efficient, safe and regulatory-compliant solutions, at HYDVANCE we are building a sustainable future with our partners.
Since November 2024 : Hydvance
Creation of a company designed to leverage our previously gained expertise, driving forward the decarbonisation ecosystem through the hydrogen revolution. We propose end to end development of integrated LH2 systems, and we also define, deploy and operate hydrogen delivery to end users.
2021-2024 : Our PAST EXPERIENCE IN AN INNOVATIVE PAVING STARTUP
Development of the Engineering Centre in Toulouse, focused on Liquid Hydrogen (LH2) technologies, aircraft integration studies and H2 operations.
Some key achievements to which we have contributed significantly :
- Largest hydrogen fuel cell powered airplane ever to take to the skies
- Development of ATR72 LH2 architecture and certification basis
- Largest fuel cell powertrain to run on liquid hydrogen
Before 2021 : OUR PAST EXPERIENCE IN MAJOR GROUPS
Tens of years of accumulated experience in diversified environments, with a strong focus on the aerospace industry.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of solutions do you offer?
We offer optimized, secure and efficient storage and delivery systems.
How long does it take to develop a custom hydrogen tank?
It takes between 4 months and 1 year from development to finalized design, then between 6 months and 1 year for prototyping and testing, then getting a certified product ready for mass production. All of this obviously depends on the level of optimization, performance and certification scope expected.
Are your solutions certified?
Yes, we develop solutions in line with customer requirements, and as per defined standards & regulations.
We also propose to develop innovative solutions, including functional prototypes, as to prepare the future of LH2 mobility.
