1. A computer-implemented method for managing a mobile hydrogen refuelling system, the mobile hydrogen refuelling system comprising a hydrogen refuelling vehicle, a hydrogen supply vehicle, and a management system, wherein the method comprises:
in the management system, obtaining from the hydrogen refuelling vehicle a first set of data relating to the hydrogen refuelling vehicle,
in the management system, obtaining from the hydrogen supply vehicle a second set of data relating to the hydrogen supply vehicle,
in the management system, obtaining map data relating to an area of operation of said hydrogen refuelling vehicle and said hydrogen supply vehicle,
in the management system, determining a resupply location based on said first set of data, said second set of data and said map data, and
in the management system, providing the hydrogen refuelling vehicle and/or the hydrogen supply vehicle with navigation instructions to the resupply location for resupplying the hydrogen refuelling vehicle with hydrogen from the hydrogen supply vehicle, and
wherein the first set of data further comprises information relating to scheduled refuelling operations of the hydrogen refuelling vehicle for refuelling at least one object, and wherein the information relating to scheduled refuelling operations of the hydrogen refuelling vehicle for refuelling the at least one object comprises predicted location, time required for refuelling, and/or predicted amount of hydrogen fuel of at least one object to be refueled by the hydrogen refuelling vehicle.
