Hydrogen could enable the decarbonisation of heavy-duty transport
Hydrogen trucks ‘need policy support’
Policies across four phases of deployment are needed if the total cost of ownership for fleets of hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles is to reach parity with diesel fleets
The deployment of hydrogen in heavy-duty road transport in the EU must start now and ramp up quickly if its ambitious emissions reductions targets for the transport sector are to be met, according to a report by industry group H2Accelerate. The EU aims to cut the emissions of the road transport, buildings and agriculture sectors by 40pc below 1990 levels by 2030. But analysis by NGOs such as Transport & Environment has found that, at current rates of emissions cuts, the bloc is likely to miss the target. One key enabling factor for transport decarbonisation is the development of hydrogen fuel-cell truck fleets, according to a research paper from H2Accelerate. The total cost of ownership
