Fuel cell trucks: Which hydrogen will win the race?

The decision is still open in which form heavy commercial vehicles with fuel cells will refuel hydrogen in series production. These vehicles, which are only on the road in small numbers and as prototypes, still operate with gaseous compressed hydrogen, which is refueled at 350 bar (35 megapascals, MPa). In this form, however, only ranges of up to 400 kilometers are possible because only about 35 to 40 kilograms of hydrogen can be stored in their carbon fiber tanks. The study „H₂-Nutzfahrzeuge im Fernverkehr“ (H₂-commercial vehicles in long-distance transport), published by the H₂-Platform of the Baden-Wuerttemberg state agency E-Mobil, discusses the alternatives. The study will be presented on Wednesday, Table. Media was able to see it in advance.
