On Tuesday, October 14, the Spa-Francorchamps circuit was transformed into Europe’s showcase for zero-emission heavy-duty mobility. Driven by the Cluster TWEED, the “Hydrogen Economy & Skills for Heavy-Duty Mobility” event brought together manufacturers, energy providers, logistics experts and training centers, all key players committed to decarbonizing transport. The goal: to demonstrate that hydrogen technology is now mature enough to be deployed on a large scale, while highlighting the challenges that accompany this transition. Several CEOs and European leaders took part in the discussions throughout the day.
Strengthened European cooperation
Organized by the Cluster TWEED, the event highlighted cooperation between Wallonia, Flanders, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Germany and France. This industrial and political network is crucial to structuring the hydrogen value chain for heavy transport.
On the track, major industry players – from Toyota and Hyundai to MAN, Colruyt, VDL, Keyou, Haesaerts and CMB.TECH – took part in Europe’s largest H₂ parade. Hydrogen trucks and cars took to the circuit, showcasing the technological maturity of the sector and the industry’s determination to make zero-emission heavy mobility a concrete reality.
Tomorrow’s professions already in motion
The AFPA training center (Agence nationale pour la formation des adultes) traveled from Metz with its mobile training container dedicated to technical professions linked to hydrogen refueling stations and production sites. In parallel, a private meeting titled “Coalition of the Willing” brought together around forty key stakeholders – manufacturers, operators, logisticians and trainers – to coordinate efforts and strengthen the hydrogen ecosystem.
To conclude, the partners of the European project Green SKHy presented their progress in training for hydrogen-related professions, confirming that the energy transition is now firmly rooted in industrial reality and in the development of the skills needed for its sustainable deployment.
