Vireon secures a grant of more than 10M EUR to build the first hydrogen refueling corridor in Norway. This marks a significant milestone in Vireon's plan to build a Nordic-wide network of hydrogen refueling stations for heavy-duty vehicles.
A team achievement
Vireon’s CEO, Per Øyvind Voie, expressed both pride and gratitude after receiving the news of the grant.
– This is yet another fantastic accomplishment by the dedicated Team Vireon. It proves that our projects meet the high standards required by the grant authorities. None of this would be possible without the impressive work of the entire Vireon team.
Trondheim-Oslo corridor
The grant, awarded by Norwegian funding agency Enova, will support the establishment of a four-station hydrogen corridor between Trondheim - Norway’s third largest city - and the capital, Oslo.

All stations will be built to serve primarily heavy-duty vehicles and will offer green hydrogen at both 350 and 700 bar. To secure redundancy, the corridor will offer truck drivers the option of two different routes between the two cities. The grant also provides support for Vireon to buy a fleet of hydrogen transport containers to distribute hydrogen from production sites to the refueling stations.
A call to action
With the grant secured, Voie is calling all stakeholders in the hydrogen value chain to come together to realize these projects. – Hydrogen has faced some turbulent times recently, but we now have a unique opportunity to shift momentum. To make this happen we need collaboration - from transportation companies to financial institutions, OEMs of trucks and refueling station equipment to hydrogen producers. I urge everyone to join Vireon in making hydrogen a viable solution for zero-emission mobility.
