Hyzon Motors, Chart Industries to develop liquid hydrogen fuel cell-powered truck, targeting 1,000-mile range
British Columbia Hydrogen Strategy provides vision for clean-energy future
The strategy’s immediate priorities include scaling up production of renewable hydrogen, establishing regional hydrogen hubs and deploying medium- and heavy-duty fuel-cell vehicles.
The B.C. Hydrogen Strategy will advance and provide support only for low-carbon hydrogen pathways, with carbon-intensity thresholds established in regulation.
Battery-powered trains could be a climate game changer. Is everyone all aboard?
Battery- and hydrogen fuel cell-powered trains are among the rail industry’s only viable options for reducing greenhouse gases. Every battery locomotive that replaces a diesel will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 3,000 tons per year, Wabtec estimates.
But it is unlikely they can quickly replace diesel-powered trains. U.S. freight railroads are awash in surplus locomotives and nobody can predict what battery-operated systems will cost, compared with existing $3-million diesels.
Fleets of Hyundai Xcient Fuel Cell Trucks Exceed 1 mln km Driving
Hyundai Motor has shipped a total of 46 Xcient heavy-duty truck trucks to the European nation since July 2020, which came in service for 25 Swiss companies in logistics, distribution and supermarket fulfillment.
Over that distance, the hydrogen-powered trucks, which only emit water, have reduced carbon emissions by an estimated 630 tons, compared to diesel-powered vehicles, Hyundai said.
Hyundai said it will ship another 140 units to Switzerland by the end of this year as part of its plan to roll out 1,600 fuel cell trucks in Europe by 2025.

“Hydrogen fuel cell is one of those technologies that powerful car companies have to grasp, to compete in the automotive market in the future,” said Eric Han, a senior manager with Shanghai-based business advisory firm Suolei. “But capital is much needed to support the development of fuel cell related technologies.”

Building a green economy: Government of Canada to require 100% of car and passenger truck sales be zero-emission by 2035 in Canada
The Government of Canada also remains committed to aligning with the most ambitious light-duty vehicle greenhouse gas emission regulations in the United States. Supporting a strong and unified North American automotive sector to transition towards zero-emission vehicles contributes to Canada’s climate change goals, and positions Canadian and American workers alike to benefit economically from this global shift.
Hydrogen Fuel Cells and Batteries: United They Stand
CTE’s experience deploying zero-emission trucks and buses around the country has proven that successful deployments require matching the appropriate technology to the application. Fuel cell and battery electric technologies are not mutually exclusive, as some political discussions may indicate. Different operational demands necessitate different technology solutions, each with benefits and tradeoffs for various operating conditions, duty cycles, and agency resources. This applicability factor is crucial within the transit bus industry and will become increasingly important as these technologies expand to other transportation sectors with particularly strenuous duty cycles.
Racing for Hydrogen: How Gas Giants Are Vying to Stay Relevant
Such transitions are important for getting the clean hydrogen market off the ground, said Daryl Wilson, executive director of the Hydrogen Council. The industry group’s members include gas giants, automakers and Microsoft Corp.
“The marginal cost of converting gray hydrogen into blue hydrogen is much lower than jumping to green hydrogen directly,” Wilson said. “As long as blue hydrogen is useful from an economic point of view, there is no reason for it to go away.”

“Batteries have a role to fill, but to fully electrify and deal with the breadth of the different applications that we’re talking about, you also have to have hydrogen fuel cells,” said Charlie Freese, who leads GM’s global fuel cell business. “They complement each other extremely well.”
