Hydrogène : dans un marché ralenti, HRS mise sur la diversification
在氢能市场整体放缓的背景下，法国加注站制造商 HRS 继续推进多元化布局。继8月初与 Baker Hughes 达成合作之后，这家来自伊泽尔省（Isère）的中型企业又宣布，将其位于 Champagnier 的总部及生产基地以“售后回租”（cession-bail）的方式出售给 Azur Datacenter。
这笔交易预计将为 HRS 带来 2200万至2500万欧元的资金回笼。公司希望借此增强财务灵活性，并为其战略转向提供资金支持，进一步推进业务多元化。在当前氢能市场增速放缓、行业投资趋于谨慎的环境下，这一举措也被视为 HRS 调整经营重心、降低单一赛道依赖的重要一步。
After its early-August partnership with Baker Hughes, hydrogen refuelling station maker HRS has announced the sale-and-leaseback of its headquarters and production site in Champagnier to Azur Datacenter. The transaction is expected to bring in between €22 million and €25 million for the Isère-based mid-sized company, giving it the financial room to accelerate a diversification strategy.
The move comes as the hydrogen market remains sluggish, pushing HRS to broaden its business base beyond its core station activity. By monetising its real estate while retaining use of the site, the company is seeking fresh resources to support new growth avenues at a time when demand conditions remain difficult.
Après son partenariat avec Baker Hughes début août, le fabricant de stations de ravitaillement en hydrogène, HRS, annonce la vente en cession-bail de son siège et site de production de Champagnier à Azur Datacenter. Une opération qui devrait rapporter 22 à 25 millions d'euros à l'ETI iséroise, lui permettant d'engager sa stratégie de diversification.
