The story behind KEYOU - we have the KEY for YOU

With our pioneer vehicles, we are demonstrating that hydrogen engine technology also works in real life and is a cost-effective and robust alternative to battery electric or fuel cell vehicles. And you can be a "first mover" experiencing the commercial vehicles of the future.
Our new KEYOU tractor blends innovation with efficiency. Powered by our highly efficient KEYOU-inside hydrogen engine, it is ideally suited for long-distance operations. Fleet operators can get started for as little as €0.58 per kilometer— even without subsidies. This cost includes a comprehensive service and maintenance package as well as all-round insurance coverage.
Coming from engineering services, we know that reliable and powerful combustion engines are an indispensable part of everyday life. But older diesel and gasoline engines pollute the environment with high emissions. KEYOU has developed a simple solution to this problem.
Past hydrogen engines have been clean but delivered low performance and involved complex adaptation work. KEYOU changes the paradigm by transforming existing diesel engines into hydrogen engines in the most effective way, by smartly utilizing the same base engine and just upgrading the core sub-systems necessary for an optimal hydrogen combustion operation.
With our hydrogen expertise, technology and conversion know-how, we can solve the major challenges facing the commercial vehicle sector and offer a cost-effective mobility solution without CO2 emissions - especially for existing vehicles. Our entry fleet consists of eight converted 18 t trucks, which will be delivered to the first pioneer customers at the end of 2024.
Experienced managers, each with different expertise, characterize KEYOU's management. They have known each other for a long time and share a common vision: Thomas Korn, Markus Schneider, and Alvaro Sousa are three engineers with over 20 years of experience each in research and development of alternative drives. Together, the KEYOU management is pursuing a common goal: affordable and clean mobility based on the sustainable and energy-rich fuel of the future - hydrogen.
We are a team of engineers, climate activists, technicians, business experts, and engine enthusiasts. We all pool our talents and expertise in the high-tech company KEYOU to develop hydrogen-based, CO2-free mobility solutions that are pragmatic, efficient, and environmentally friendly.
We can tell you a lot. But we thought we'd let others have their say instead, who also have something to say about KEYOU and hydrogen.
