At the 2025 Advanced Clean Transportation (ACT) Expo, Hyundai Motor North America announced the launch of a scalable hydrogen production and refueling facility tailored for Class-8 heavy-duty zero-emission trucks. The facility, named HTWO Energy Savannah, will be developed just 10 miles from the Port of Savannah—one of the nation’s busiest freight corridors—and is expected to begin operations by late Fall 2025.

The project is a collaboration between HTWO Logistics, HydroFleet, and Capital Development Partners, and will be located in Pooler, Georgia. Once operational, the station will produce and dispense up to 1,200 kilograms of hydrogen per day, with the infrastructure in place to scale up to 4,200 kilograms daily to meet future demand.

“HTWO Energy Savannah is a breakthrough hydrogen production and refueling station for the heavy-duty trucking industry, allowing zero-emissions trucks to quickly and easily refuel at a single convenient location in the Savannah region,” said Jim Park, SVP, Commercial Vehicle and Hydrogen Fuel Cell Business at Hyundai Motor North America. “The HTWO Energy Savannah hydrogen station will also truly fulfill our vision for HMGMA Clean Logistics, allowing our innovative new electric vehicle plant to transport plant shipments within a clean, zero-emissions ecosystem.”

The HTWO Energy Savannah facility is designed to support fast-fill hydrogen refueling for long-haul trucking fleets and to serve as a key logistics hub supporting Hyundai’s broader clean energy strategy in North America.

Scott Moe, CEO of HydroFleet, emphasized the transformative potential of the project: “HTWO Energy Savannah is a groundbreaking initiative that will revolutionize the heavy-duty trucking and hydrogen industry. By providing a scalable hydrogen production and refueling solution, HydroFleet and HTWO Logistics are addressing the critical need for sustainable logistics infrastructure. This project not only supports Hyundai’s vision for clean logistics but also positions the city of Pooler as a local leader in the hydrogen economy. We are excited to collaborate with Hyundai and HTWO Logistics to drive the transition to zero-emission transportation, both in Georgia and the U.S.”

The announcement has also drawn strong regional support. Des Carlisle, executive director of the Southeast Hydrogen Energy Alliance, noted the significance of the development: “HTWO Energy Savannah represents the type of forward-thinking infrastructure the Southeast is ready for — a site that not only meets the demands of today’s heavy-duty fleets but also paves the way for a scalable hydrogen economy in our region. We are proud to support the collaboration between Hyundai, HydroFleet, and Capital Development Partners, and we see this project as a blueprint for how public-private cooperation can accelerate zero-emission logistics while strengthening regional energy resilience.”
