Founded by three passionate professionals, the engineer Didier Arénal, the inventor André Morin and the Ph.D. in physical chemistry Wilson HAGO, the start-up designs, manufactures and distributes high-efficiency EHM hydrogen engines for companies operating in the mobility sector heavy.
Incubated in Brest within the ENSTA (National School of Advanced Techniques), EHM is now seeking partners and funding to fully develop the capabilities of its technology around green hydrogen. A first fundraising of 1.5 million euros should also be completed in the coming days.
High efficiency motors
Given the urgency of the situation linked, in particular, to the increase in fuel prices and the challenges of decarbonising the transport sector, EHM now wishes to intensify its efforts to develop the hydrogen sector with its customers.
The start-up designs and manufactures, in particular, high-efficiency 300 kW and 500 kW hydrogen engines, which make it possible to equip trucks, coaches, but also boats and off-road vehicles.
Be an actor in the decarbonization of the planet
As Didier Arénal, president of EHM, explains, the environmental impact of heavy mobility is significant today. ” A truck travels an average of 100,000 kilometers a year. For a transport company that has a fleet of several hundred or even thousands of vehicles, the impact in terms of CO² emissions is considerable. “.
If some companies are now tempted by electricity to face this environmental challenge, Didier Arénal recalls the significant cost of such equipment: “ Around €1 million is needed to invest in fuel cell electric buses. Our hydrogen engine solution allows you to divide this budget by five by also offering greater vehicle autonomy! “.
Faced with the objectives set by the European Union to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, companies in the heavy mobility sector must now rethink their operating system. An immense challenge through which Efficient Hydrogen Motors intends to occupy a central place by proposing future technology that allows it to respond to the new climate challenges of the 21st century.
To anticipate future demand and offer innovations, the start-up is currently looking for new investors willing to join the adventure.
