HYPE / STEP

The world's first fleet of hydrogen-powered taxis, Hype was launched in Paris in December 2015 by Société du Taxi Électrique Parisien (STEP), in partnership with Air Liquide group, joined in 2017 by the Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations.

Faced with the urgent public health issue represented by air pollution in urban environments, HYPE's ambition is to organize the massive short-term transition of on-demand transportation to zero emissions, in Paris and then in other major cities. For that, HYPE is showing the way with its own fleet (600 vehicles in Paris by the end of 2020), and with its partners it is creating the conditions for other operators to achieve zero emissions in their turn before the 2024 Olympic Games in the case of Paris.
