The five-year strategic agreement for 40 containerized LNG stations reinforces Houpu’s footprint in Europe’s high-end clean energy market.

This month, HOUPU global, a wholly-owned subsidiary of HOUPU Co., Ltd., officially signed a procurement contract for 40 sets of 30-cubic-meter containerized LNG refueling station equipment with a well-known German energy company. The total contract value is 145 million yuan, to be executed over five years. Production of the first batch of 5 sets of equipment has been launched. This is another significant breakthrough for HOUPU in the high-end European market since their first cooperation in 2019. The cumulative number of LNG refueling station equipment delivered to this customer will reach 80 sets.

This contract marks a major breakthrough for Houpu in the stringent European market, bringing the total cumulative delivery to this premium client to 80 units since their initial cooperation in 2019.

Proven Reliability in High-End Markets

Germany maintains some of the world’s most rigorous standards for clean energy equipment entry. Since 2019, Houpu has successfully delivered 40 LNG refueling systems to this partner. These systems have achieved an exceptional online operational rate of over 99%, with failure rates significantly below the industry average. This proven reliability and product excellence have successfully transformed a single-order relationship into a long-term strategic partnership.

Next-Gen Tech: Zero-Emission & Bio-LNG Ready

The newly ordered second-generation, fully skid-mounted products feature a 45-foot container design with full stainless-steel skids. Fully compliant with authoritative EU certifications, including PED and ATEX, the equipment seamlessly meets Germany's strict safety and environmental regulations.

Key technical highlights of the new generation include:

• Unattended Operation & Easy Installation: Minimizes on-site labor and accelerates deployment.

• Future-Proof Scalability: Reserved expansion space allows flexible support for the client’s future business growth.

• Eco-Efficiency & Carbon Compliance: Achieves zero BOG (Boil-Off Gas) emissions and offers seamless compatibility with Bio-LNG refueling. This allows operators to mitigate carbon taxes and qualify for low-carbon fuel subsidies.

Supporting Europe’s Green Transition

Under the German Federal Government's latest Climate Protection initiatives, driving decarbonization in heavy-duty logistics remains a priority. As LNG and Bio-LNG serve as critical transition pathways for long-haul transport, market demand is surging. The 40 newly contracted units will be strategically deployed across Northern Germany, gradually forming a comprehensive green refueling network nationwide.

"Our products are not only tailor-made to meet European technical standards but are also precision-aligned with local green transition policies and market demands," said Chen Longxiu, Assistant General Manager of Houpu International. "In terms of service, Houpu has provided comprehensive on-site training since 2019, backed by ongoing 24/7 remote technical support and rapid aftermarket response to guarantee long-term operational stability."

Global Vision

The first unit of the new order is scheduled for its Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) this October. This strategic contract reflects Houpu’s rapid overseas expansion, driven by global green energy initiatives. Moving beyond simple equipment manufacturing, Houpu has successfully upgraded its business model to an integrated, full-chain provider of "Equipment Manufacturing + Engineering Services + Turnkey Solutions," showcasing the strength of Chinese intelligent manufacturing on the global stage.
