A hydrogen refuelling network across the North Island is the first of its kind in Australasia. 

Hamilton, Auckland, and New Plymouth will host the Hiringa Energy stations, with Tauranga to join later this year. 

The network will allow hydrogen trucks to travel within the 'golden triangle' covering 95% of heavy freight routes in the North Island. 

Hiringa Energy CEO Andrew Clennett told Mike Hosking this is only the start. 

He says by the end of the decade, hydrogen will be competitive with diesel.
