Hy Nor
The HyNor hydrogen highway in Norway was established in 2003 and is part of the Scandinavian hydrogen highway partnership. The highway is part of the Norwegian hydrogen infrastructure, and several hydrogen refuelling stations have been built along the 580-kilometer (360 mi) route.
The official opening of HyNor took place on 11 May 2009 in Oslo.
The highway runs between the capital, Oslo, and the port of Stavanger. Norway's first hydrogen fueling station was opened in 2006 near Stavanger, the second in Porsgrunn in 2007, and two stations were opened in Oslo and Lier in 2009.
In October 2011, Statoil announced they wanted to close their filling stations in Stavanger, Porsgrunn, Drammen and Oslo after 2012.
A new filling station is planned to open in 2012 at Akershus EnergiPark in Skedsmo. If there are no new companies that replace Statoil's production of hydrogen, this will be the only filling station in Norway if it opens. The vehicles that will be used in connection with the filling station are from Think. However, this company went bankrupt in 2011.
The program is currently testing with 15 refitted Toyota Prius hydrogen vehicles and four Mazda RX-8 Hydrogen RE, 10 Mercedes-Benz B-class F-CELL, 5 Think City hydrogen cars, and two Hyundai ix35 FCEV's.
