Regulations limiting greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) from motor vehicles are tightening around the world. With this, both hydrogen engines and hydrogen fuel cells are receiving an increasing interest. Given medium and heavy-duty trucks are a major source of CO2 emissions, the transportation sector’s journey to destination zero features both technologies. As more truck makers join the
For a long time, it looked like cars with hydrogen engines or fuel cells would one day take over the roads and the transportation sector. Hydrogen fuel cell cars release no harmful emissions of any kind, have a long range, and can be refueled in minutes. In theory they sound like a great way to decarbonize the transportation sector. In practice, hydrogen cars are facing stiff competition from plug
How can hydrogen fuel power a vehicle? Using hydrogen to power an engine or motor is more straight forward than you might think. There are two ways to do this.

The other way is hydrog
