Hydrogen: a fuel of the future?.
The climate change effects, pollution costs, and environmental awareness are driving towards alternative solutions to diesel and petrol vehicles in recent years, so clean energy fueling choices are gaining popularity. One possible solution is the use and integration of hydrogen, particularly for long-haul, heavy-duty vehicles and other commercial transport.
However, with only a little over 200 hydrogen vehicle refueling stations across the EU in 2021, there seems to be a long way to go before the hydrogen-powered transport revolution becomes a reality.
Domenico Sicilia, Sales Director, Alternative Fuels LNG, Hydrogen & CNG at Dover Fueling Solutions, explains:
The hydrogen vehicle is not to be misunderstood by drivers with concerns over their affordability, safety, refilling times, and even their environmental credentials.
“In reality, a lot of these are mere myths, because clean-fueled vehicles, such as the hydrogen-powered truck or bus, and already available safe filling stations technology can pave the way to a greener future without fossil-fuel dependence.”
Which Trucks are Available?
If you’re considering choosing hydrogen over diesel for your next commercial vehicle – and let’s face it, it is recommended – it pays to know which vehicles are available and which will soon enter production.
