We are delighted to announce this latest investment in HVS. Excelledia Ventures’ support enhances our eligibility for the £1 billion Qatar-UK Climate Tech Fund, thanks to Excelledia’s strong relationships with key stakeholders such as Qatar’s Transport Authority and Qatar Investment Authority. Thanks to its resources and expertise, the Middle East is also uniquely positioned to lead the global hydrogen charge and is already making significant progress.”

*"Our mission is to optimise diesel trucks for cleaner performance today while advancing hydrogen-powered trucks for tomorrow,"*Waheed explained.
