Hydrogen — Fuel Cell Electric (FCE)

- Hydrogen FCE vehicles can be used in long-haul applications, but the fueling infrastructure is gradually expanding and the cost is much higher than diesel before government incentives.
- Refueling takes a matter of minutes.
- FCEVs are lighter than battery-electric vehicles (BEVs).
Weight is a crucial factor in the design and operation of trucks. Heavier vehicles require more energy to move, leading to reduced fuel efficiency. Hydrogen fuel cell systems are lighter than the massive battery packs required for electric trucks. This weight advantage can optimize the weight distribution in trucks, enhancing handling and overall fuel efficiency. Lighter trucks also lead to reduced wear and tear on tires and brakes, resulting in additional cost savings.
Hydrogen trucks are versatile and can be adapted for use in a wide range of truck types. This adaptability makes them suitable for different transportation needs, offering trucking companies the flexibility to transition to hydrogen-powered vehicles throughout their fleets.
