The Potential of Hydrogen in Green Transport: A Shift in Fleet Preferences
Key Ideas
  • Hydrogen models are seen as a potential game-changer in the green transport sector if refueling infrastructure is expanded.
  • 22% of company car drivers would consider a hydrogen car if refueling infrastructure was in place, showing a growing interest compared to electric cars.
  • 62% of respondents believe manufacturers should invest as much in hydrogen cars as they do in electric cars, indicating a positive outlook for hydrogen technology.
  • Hydrogen is viewed as a convenient refueling option for fleet managers aiming to reduce emissions, alongside hybrid and electric vehicles.
A white paper focusing on the role of hydrogen in green transport suggests that hydrogen could transform the sector if refueling infrastructure is enhanced. According to research by Venson Automotive Solutions, 22% of company car drivers would consider a hydrogen car if the necessary infrastructure was available, indicating a potential shift in preferences compared to electric cars. The research also highlights the increasing openness of UK drivers towards hydrogen vehicles. Other alternative fuels like biodiesel, biogas, compressed natural gas, compressed air, ethanol, and liquefied petroleum gas also score well in the survey. However, there is still a segment loyal to petrol or diesel vehicles. The management director at Venson believes that the results are promising for hydrogen technology, emphasizing the need for expanded refueling networks. The white paper 'The Big Hydrogen Question' delves into the role of hydrogen in greener mobility and the challenges hindering its rapid adoption. The survey indicates that fleet drivers are inclined towards reducing environmental impact, with hydrogen potentially offering a more convenient refueling option than electric in the future. The positive sentiment towards hydrogen is reinforced by the belief that manufacturers should invest equally in hydrogen cars. While electric vehicles are gaining momentum, hydrogen is seen as a promising alternative that could significantly impact fleet emissions with increased investment in technology and refueling infrastructure.
