Metier Technologies Europe is located in Turin, Italy
Metier Technologies has reached a milestone in its global growth strategy with the launch of Metier Technologies Europe, headquartered in Turin, Italy. The new European entity, opened by chairman David Caponi, is the company’s entry into the continental market and will advance development of its hydrogen internal combustion engine repower technology for commercial fleets throughout Europe.
The company is also set to showcase its latest hydrogen engine and technology platform at Hydrogen Technology World Expo in Hamburg, Germany.
Metier’s European strategy is focused on repowering DAF LF and Iveco Eurocargo vehicles, delivering a cost-effective path to decarbonisation to fleet operators. Through converting existing diesel trucks to run on hydrogen, operators can achieve zero-emission performance and access to Low and Ultra Low Emission Zones, without having to compromise range or payload.
Metier’s model is centred on a partnership-drive approach, working with fleets, hydrogen producers and refuelling providers to secure competitively priced hydrogen, allowing total cost of ownership at parity with diesel through its repower solutions.
James Budgett, managing director of Metier Technologies, said, “Launching Metier Technologies Europe in Turin marks a significant step in building our presence across the mainland European hydrogen landscape. Our aim is to put the Metier name in front of as many hydrogen suppliers as possible, communicating Metier’s partnership model that delivers offtake for hydrogen producers plus competitively priced hydrogen and a diesel-level TCO for repowered fleets. Alongside our participation at Hydrogen Technology World Expo next week in Hamburg, this expansion underscores our ambition to make hydrogen-powered commercial transport a practical reality today.”
Caponi said, “Turin provides the ideal foothold to expand our European operations, connecting us with both leading vehicle OEMs and an emerging hydrogen supply chain. We’re already engaging regional partners to support fleet decarbonisation through repowering, helping operators meet emissions targets quickly and cost-effectively.”
