DRIVING THE FUTURE OF SUSTAINABLE LOGISTICS
Accelerating the transition to zero-emission mobility through hydrogen innovation and real-world application
H2TowTractor
A European project to decarbonize industrial towing with hydrogen-powered retrofit tractors. ARCO Technologies develops the green hydrogen production and refueling infrastructure.
Hydrogen-powered tractor for industry,
airport and port towing.
“In 2030, EU airports will have to reduce emissions by 50%.
Our tractor is the solution today.”
About the H2TowTractor project
The H2TowTractor project is a European initiative aimed at decarbonizing logistics operations through hydrogen-powered retrofitting. Focused on industrial, airport, and port towing vehicles, the project demonstrates how existing combustion-based tractors can be converted to zero-emission systems using green hydrogen. Through the development of a mobile hydrogen refueling station and the integration of solar power, H2TowTractor offers a scalable, real-world solution for sustainable mobility. Supported by EIT Urban Mobility, the project promotes innovation in urban logistics and paves the way for future-ready energy infrastructure.

H2 Retrofit Kit for Tractors
ATA developed a retrofit kit that converts existing industrial tow tractors from combustion to hydrogen propulsion. The first prototype is being tested at CAAB Bologna.
Mobile H₂ Refueling Station
ARCO Technologies provides the green hydrogen production system and mobile HRS (Hydrogen Refueling Station), integrated with a photovoltaic plant.
Solar Energy Integration
The system is powered by CAAB’s existing photovoltaic plant, ensuring a zero-emission energy cycle and showcasing the feasibility of autonomous hydrogen refueling.
Project Partner
This project is supported by EIT Urban Mobility, an initiative of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), a body of the European Union. EIT Urban Mobility works to accelerate positive change in mobility to make urban spaces more livable.
