A new generation of equipment supplier, Symbio designs hydrogen fuel cell kits that can be incorporated into various types of electric vehicles (utility vehicles, vans, buses, heavy-goods vehicles, etc.) and are associated with a range of services (remote vehicle repairs and fleet management, etc.).
Once equipped in this way, these vehicles provide enhanced ease of use (refill in three minutes, autonomy twice that of their battery equivalents, etc.) while remaining “zero emissions”. There are several hundred of these vehicles – for the most part, light utility vehicles – on the roads in France and across Europe. Created in 2010, Symbio has been a 50/50 joint subsidiary of Michelin and Faurecia since November 2019.
