New Oxfordshire company announces hydrogen delivering system

HYKIT, a Bicester-based clean energy partnership, launched a fully mobile hydrogen refueller to help accelerate on-site zero-emission operations.

In a statement, a spokesperson said: “HYKIT today announced the launch of a fully integrated, mobile hydrogen refuelling system designed to bring fast, reliable hydrogen infrastructure directly to site.

“Combining on-board hydrogen storage and dispensing in a single unit, the system enables operators across a variety of industrial, construction, and mobility sectors to refuel a wide range of hydrogen-powered machinery on-site without relying on fixed infrastructure.

“The Mobile Hydrogen Refueller (MHR-X75) has a refuelling turnaround time of around ten to 15 minutes and a total hydrogen capacity of 75kg, supporting multiple on-site machines or multiple refuels.”

Hydrogen is seen as a zero-emission alternative to diesel across transport, industry, and power generation.

However, infrastructure constraints have limited adoption, particularly in remote or temporary operating environments.

HYKIT, a joint venture between investment company HYCAP, green pioneer HydraB Group and construction giant JCB, is addressing this challenge by delivering ‘mobile, modular infrastructure’ that can be ‘deployed rapidly and repositioned as operations evolve’.

Dr John Vickers, HYKIT’s director of engineering, said: “Hydrogen adoption isn’t being held back by technology, it’s being held back by infrastructure.

“With our MHR-X75, we’re removing that barrier by enabling customers to deploy hydrogen refuelling exactly where their equipment is working, without needing a fixed supply.”

The HYKIT MHR-X75 is trailer-mounted and designed for rapid setup using standard site equipment, supporting continuous refuelling during active operations.

The system is compatible with a wide range of hydrogen-powered vehicles, machinery, and generators.

It is suitable for generators with up to 70kg of hydrogen and vehicles with up to 50kg.

The MHR-X75 includes advanced engineering and digital capabilities to ensure ‘reliable performance’.

Features include touchscreen controls, real-time performance monitoring, cloud-connected diagnostics for remote visibility, and integrated safety systems including leak detection and emergency shutdown.

The unit is certified to TPED, ADR, and UK CDG standards.

Dr Vickers said the new technology is ‘more than a refueller’.

He added: “It’s a critical building block of a complete on-site hydrogen ecosystem.

“By combining mobility, safety, and operational intelligence, we’re enabling customers to scale hydrogen adoption with confidence, from early pilots through to full deployment.”

The MHR-X75 is one part of the broader HYKIT infrastructure (which includes compression, storage, and refuelling).

These systems create a complete, scalable hydrogen solution designed to operate without relying on fixed infrastructure.
