The installation is made in the form of a container to which only electricity and water are supplied. The output is pure hydrogen, which can be used to refuel vehicles. The mobile hydrogen refueling station is said to be easy to operate.

The project for the development of the plant was organized as part of the implementation of the Priority 2030 development program. Rais Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov stressed that the topic of hydrogen fuel is "very promising." He instructed the head of Tatneftekhiminvest-holding Rafinat Yarullin to study the issue of further application of these stations in the republic.

Earlier, KAMAZ and the Sistema Hydrogen Technology Center presented a truck KAMAZ-53193 Chistogor with a hydrogen-powered power plant. This electric car with a carrying capacity of over 20 tons can travel at one refueling up to 500 km. It is assumed that such machines will be equipped with Russian-made fuel cell units, the production of which is planned to be established in 2025.

The prospects for hydrogen technology on the scale of the global automotive industry are clear. Today, this is the most important direction of the automotive industry, which will create environmentally friendly and energy-efficient automotive equipment, "says Sergey Kogogin, General Director of KAMAZ PJSC.[1]
