hylane GmbH is a German provider of zero-emission commercial vehicle rentals, specializing in battery-electric and hydrogen fuel cell trucks for logistics and fleet operators. Founded in Cologne in 2021 as Germany’s first dedicated zero-emission truck rental company, it operates a usage-based rental model in which customers pay only for kilometers driven, with all services bundled into the agreement.
The company manages the full lifecycle of vehicles, including procurement and registration from manufacturers such as IVECO, Hyundai, Mercedes-Benz, and MAN; maintenance and repairs; comprehensive insurance; access to refueling and charging infrastructure through partners like H2 MOBILITY; and regulatory compliance with DEKRA-certified CO₂ evidence for sustainability reporting. It focuses on heavy-duty applications including long-distance, regional distribution, and depot operations.
hylane primarily operates in Germany and positions itself as one of Europe’s leading providers of zero-emission trucks. It is a subsidiary of the DEVK insurance group with additional backing from investors such as Palladio Partners. The model lowers entry barriers and risks for customers transitioning to decarbonized fleets while supporting the scaling of hydrogen and electric mobility infrastructure.
