Fuel Cell

Stellantis claims that some of its hydrogen fuel-cell vans will top 300 miles in European spec—more than its battery electric vans.

A fully electric Ram 1500 REV and range-extended XR are two of them, while a hydrogen fuel-cell truck is also on the way. Is a compact electric truck the other one?

The White House also expects the regional hubs to "catalyze" more than $40 billion in private investment, bringing the total investment to nearly $50 billion.

The hydrogen fuel-cell pickup is roughly the same size as the U.S. Tacoma, and this particular project had the backing of the U.K. government and partner companies.

An industrial-scale operation at the Port of Long Beach uses agricultural methane to produce more power than the facility needs plus hydrogen for vehicles—even allowing Toyota to become an energy provider to the surrounding community.

Automotive supplier Bosch expects both fuel cells and hydrogen internal combustion to play a big role in the future trucking industry.

The U.S. remains part of the plan, though. Toyota still sees big cost reductions and even profitability in future hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles themselves—infrastructure notwithstanding.

Rolls-Royce is releasing its first electric vehicle, but the company's CEO says the company could make the switch to fuel cells.

Honda's hydrogen plans include a fuel-cell semi with Isuzu and internal-combustion engines potentially for motorcycles or mopeds.

The three-year trial project, based in the UK, will look at whether it can deliver “enhanced zero-emission-driving range for E-Transit customers with energy-intensive use cases.”

The Daimler joint venture will "forge ahead" with an electric-truck network, amid conflicting policy signals.

So far, the hydrogen fuel-cell and plug-in hybrid variants have been announced for Japan only—although the plug-in hybrid has been reportedly in the works for the U.S.

The company says the first mobile hydrogen refueling unit has been released for market operation, and the concept will be displayed next week.

Based on recent announcements from Airbus, hydrogen fuel-cell tech might start replacing jet engines well before the internal-combustion engine gone in cars. 

Hyundai said development of the 670-hp fuel cell powertrain in the N Vision 74 has continued over seven years; it can be refueled in five minutes.

Hyperion claims its mobile stations can also be equipped with DC fast-chargers for EVs and can be repositioned as needed to meet real-time demand.

With natural gas and carbon sequestration, Nikola and KeyState aim to claim a top IRA federal incentive that could help its hydrogen fuel-cell truck vision take form.

Incentives will help reduce the cost of vehicles, hydrogen production, and dispensing equipment, nudging Nikola toward viability.

The organization has previously warned that the DOE's hydrogen hubs might be as dirty as coal if hydrogen were produced from other sources like natural gas.

The coalition will also promote the Midwest as a promising area for hydrogen production, with trucking, rail, aviation, and Great Lakes shipping applications as potential uses.
