The heavy-duty vehicle sector is progressively being revolutionised by innovative hydrogen (H2) technology. Alternative powertrains, such as hydrogen fuel cells and hydrogen engines, are becoming more widespread in the effort to decarbonise commercial applications. Vehicle developers and end-users are looking to rapidly introduce hydrogen heavy-duty vehicle fleets across the UK and Europe.
This paper takes a look at the methods most suitable for hydrogen vehicle refuelling and the various technologies available to facilitate the use of these low-carbon commercial fleets upon launch and through long-term establishment.
