Key Ideas
  • FNM inaugurated Lombardy's first hydrogen station at Carugate Est, a key step in their €55 million project to decarbonize transport.
  • The hydrogen refueling stations in northern Italy aim to support low-emission road and rail transport, aligning with European climate goals.
  • FNM's broader hydrogen strategy includes plans for a national network, complemented by the H2iseO Hydrogen Valley initiative in Val Camonica.
  • The company's innovative approach positions them as a leader in hydrogen mobility, with commercial hydrogen train services set to begin in mid-2026.
Italian transport group FNM has marked a significant milestone in advancing hydrogen mobility by opening Lombardy's first hydrogen station at Carugate Est, situated along Milan's eastern ring road. This initiative, part of a €55 million project, underscores FNM's commitment to decarbonizing transport. The station, developed in collaboration with Milano Serravalle – Milano Tangenziali S.p.A., is the initial deployment in a series of five planned hydrogen refueling stations strategically positioned across northern Italy. Designed to cater to both passenger vehicles and heavy-duty transport, these stations are integral to FNM's vision of establishing a comprehensive hydrogen network that fosters low-emission transportation modes. FNM's hydrogen strategy, which includes the H2iseO Hydrogen Valley project in Val Camonica, signifies a pivotal leap towards sustainable mobility. By investing in infrastructure for hydrogen-powered trains and vehicles, FNM demonstrates a dedication to promoting cleaner energy solutions in alignment with European environmental objectives. The company's ambitious roadmap encompasses the completion of a full network by 2025, featuring additional stations in Carugate, Rho, and Tortona. Scheduled to commence commercial operations in 2026, FNM's hydrogen endeavors exemplify a cutting-edge approach to innovation and sustainability in the Italian transportation sector.
