(AOF) – Haulotte recorded consolidated revenue of 140 million euros in the third quarter of 2022, up 17%. In this context of persistent tensions over the supply of certain components, driven by a historical order book that is still on the rise, the specialist in personnel and lifting equipment should post growth in its turnover close to 20% in 2022.
Given the numerous uncertainties that remain, reinforced by the energy crisis which has been gaining momentum since the summer, the group is not in a position to confirm its current operating margin objectives for 2022, but does not expect significant improvement in the second half compared to the first.

Great prospects with green hydrogen for the electricity sector
The French hydrogen plan of 7 billion euros, which has been increased to 9 billion, aims to develop an industrial sector for the production of low-carbon hydrogen. Gimélec, the group of companies in the digital electronics sector in France, has identified strong benefits for manufacturers of electrical equipment. For its members, the economic benefits are estimated at 10 billion euros by 2030, then an additional 20 billion for the period 2030 to 2040, mainly for the sector of manufacturers of digital electronic equipment (from transformers to control systems ). This will lead to massive recruitment, in particular in the areas where hydrogen development efforts will be concentrated, in the Mediterranean and in the Seine Valley.
