The hydrogen-powered electric truck is legitimately expected by many professionals as a sustainable solution to truly reach zero-emission transport without making overly restrictive operational compromises.
Promises such as filling up in 15 minutes or being guaranteed a 400 to 500 km of autonomy before recharging (about 250 to 310 mi) - without compromising the transport capacities in terms of volume and weight- give hope to a strategic sector of the economy to be able to face the challenges of decarbonisation and depollution looming ahead.
This key industry has also been widely brought out in the latest study carried out by France Hydrogène whose “Ambition + 2030” scenario forecasts 10,000 hydrogen-powered lorries on French roads by 2030.
However, truck manufacturers are not rushing to face these issues promptly. In the passenger car world it took the rise of “pure players” such as Tesla to really shake up an industry that was reluctant to abandon its fossil fuels-powered engine as of yet.
In the heavy road transport world the initiative is here again taken by new entrants, whether they be major manufacturers but new entrant to the European truck market like Hyundai, or pure players such as Hyzon Motors which is developing hydrogen-powered trucks based on DAF chassis from Groningen in the Netherlands - link - Logan King - link - Bertrand Chauve - link - more like this - link
