Thanks to the cooperation between truck manufacturers Daimler Truck AG<\/a>, IVECO<\/a>, and the Volvo Group<\/a>, the hydrogen-powered truck can now really break through. Energy companies Shell<\/a> and OMV<\/a> are also working on this. The partnership believes that the large-scale introduction of hydrogen-powered trucks will take about ten years. This is what the companies announced in a joint press release this week. Daimler is the largest truck manufacturer in the world, directly followed by Volvo. Iveco is one of the major European truck manufacturers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The companies working together in the H2Accelerate (H2A) Consortium <\/em>think that this plan could mean the emergence of entirely new industries. , A great deal of work still needs to be done in order to achieve the stipulated freight transport emission-free targets by 2050. This starts with CO2-free plants for the production of hydrogen. Large-scale hydrogen distribution systems are also needed. A network of filling stations for high-capacity liquid- and gas-based hydrogen also needs to be set up. Moreover, trucks must be built that run on hydrogen<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Key to CO2-neutral transport’<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Martin Daum, chair of the management board of Daimler Truck AG and member of the management board of Daimler AG stated: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Hydrogen-powered trucks are the key to CO2-neutral transport of the future. This unprecedented cooperation is an important milestone towards establishing and promoting the essential framework conditions for a broad market for hydrogen-powered trucks. It is also a call to action for policymakers, other stakeholders, and society.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Martin Lundstedt, President and CEO of the Volvo Group, transport in the future will be based on a combination of battery-powered electric vehicles and fuel cells. And, to some extent, other renewable fuels. “The cooperation within H2Accelerate is an important step towards a more habitable world,” said Lundstedt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

European network<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In the first instance, the new trucks will be deployed in regional clusters and along European transport routes that high-capacity usage and good coverage of hydrogen filling stations. These clusters can then be connected to each other over the course of the decade. This will enable the creation of a European network. The consortium expects that hydrogen-powered trucks will make a major breakthrough in the second half of the 2020s. It should then have more than 10,000 vehicles and a European network full of filling stations and high-capacity filling plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Active role of governments<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

According to Elisabeth Brinton, executive vice president for New Energy at Shell, active cooperation from governments is needed for the consortium’s plan to succeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The operating costs for a transport company must be comparable to those of a diesel truck that we use today. This means that customers of trucks must be able to buy a completely emission-free vehicle that is comparable to the time, radius of action, and cost of refueling vehicles currently in use. To achieve this goal, a clear regulatory framework needs to be put in place. This must regulate the supply of hydrogen, hydrogen-powered trucks, refueling infrastructure and customer incentives in a coordinated way t.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
