MAN Truck & Bus plans to launch 200 hydrogen trucks by 2025, boasting impressive features like emitting less than 1g CO₂/tonne-km, a range of up to 600km, and quick refueling in just 15 minutes. These trucks will utilize hydrogen combustion engines, offering a promising zero-emissions solution that aligns with EU regulations. However, the adoption of hydrogen internal combustion engines (H2ICE) faces challenges due to the lack of necessary infrastructure. While H2ICE technology shows potential for emissions reduction and performance, the global availability of hydrogen refueling stations lags significantly behind electric vehicle chargers. The competition from battery-electric and fuel-cell electric trucks also poses a threat to H2ICE implementation. Battery-electric trucks face challenges related to the high costs and heavy weight of batteries required for long-range hauls, coupled with the need for significant charging infrastructure upgrades. On the other hand, fuel-cell electric trucks offer higher efficiency but share similar infrastructure constraints as H2ICE, limiting their widespread adoption. Despite these hurdles, advancements in technology and infrastructure development could pave the way for hydrogen trucks to compete effectively in the expanding zero-emissions transport sector. Addressing infrastructure needs and enhancing efficiency will be key to unlocking the full potential of hydrogen-powered vehicles and driving sustainable innovation in the truck industry.
