The ESCALATE consortium held its annual General Assembly on 29-30 October 2026 at the Brussels premises of Hydrogen Europe. The two-day hybrid event was neatly aligned with European Hydrogen Week, where our SISU truck took pride of place alongside a project stand.
As the long-haul zero-emission pilots lie at the heart of the project, partners focused on current challenges, emerging innovations, and data analysis tasks. Key partners also finalised adjustments to the scope, routes, and key performance indicators (KPIs) in internal exchanges.
Finally, initial planning began for the ESCALATE Final Conference, to be held in Brussels on 18 March 2027. The event will also be the closing highlight of the project, which is set to conclude at the end of that month. Overall, the consortium came away with a positive outlook and is eager to begin analysing data from the upcoming pilot operations.
