Finland’s first hydrogen-powered truck arrives in Oulu
The OSAO Education Consortium has signed an agreement with the Dutch company Holthausen Clean Technologies for the delivery of Finland’s first fuel-cell-powered semi-trailer tractor to be deployed in road transport. The vehicle is scheduled for delivery in August–September 2026.
The procurement is part of the joint VISIOK project between OSAO, the University of Oulu, and Oulu University of Applied Sciences, which aims to develop learning and research environments aligned with the green transition and to strengthen the role of vocational education, in particular in the adoption of new technologies. “This is not just about purchasing a vehicle, but a significant step toward building new expertise and sustainable logistics in Oulu. The hydrogen truck is a significant part of the region’s hydrogen ecosystem and brings a completely new kind of learning and testing platform to Finland,” says Project Manager Marjaana Komi.
