Hydrogen

Why hydrogen has a huge potential for commercial vehicles

Hydrogen has the potential to shape the future of heavy-duty mobility. There are numerous and well-established technologies for producing this fuel. Hydrogen is one of the most abundant elements in the universe. The only limiting factor for its intensive use in transportation and industry is the availability of hydrogen today. But with the need for a more sustainable approach to mobility and energy in general, the importance and production of hydrogen is sure to increase in the coming years. 

Combining the strengths of fuel cells and BEV for sustainable mobility

The forecast for hydrogen production in the coming years shows the commitment to fuel cells. At the same time, the charging infrastructure for Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) is being steadily expanded. Looking at the use cases, the combination of both technologies shows the most promising results for the future. While BEVs are most efficient over short and medium distances, fuel cell systems are best suited for long-haul trucks. 

What makes hydrogen and fuel cells shine for commercial vehicles

Availability

Hydrogen can play an important role in the global energy transition by becoming available on a large scale and decreasing in price.

Long-haul trucks

Long-haul trucks are an important segment of commercial vehicles. The requirements for a new technology are high. cellcentric fuel cell systems offer the best range and power to meet them.

Decarbonization

There is no single decarbonisation solution. The combination of battery electric vehicles and fuel cell trucks will help to effectively decarbonise the commercial vehicle segment.

Requirements and predictions for fuel cell and BEV in the next years

The future of mobility shows a clear shift towards sustainable alternatives and a reduction in fossil fuels. Hydrogen is playing an increasingly important role in this transition, with growing investment in production and infrastructure around the world. Increased production will help make hydrogen more affordable and available in the coming years. The signs are also promising for the growth of hydrogen refueling infrastructure.
