The Germany Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport, along with the federal states of Baden-Württemberg and Rhineland-Palatinate, has approved a substantial funding of €226 million for the development, small-series production, and customer deployment of 100 fuel cell trucks. Daimler Truck, a major player in the automotive industry, filed for the funding application in 2021 and is set to receive a significant portion of the total amount under the IPCEI funding initiative. The project, created within the European Union's IPCEI Hydrogen program, covers various activities from vehicle development to production-related processes. The funding will not only support the development and build-up of the fuel cell trucks but also finance feasibility studies on the hydrogen value chain and investments in production facilities. These activities are crucial as they pave the way for the planned series production and deployment of the next-generation fuel cell trucks by the end of 2026. The project's emphasis on liquid hydrogen as an energy carrier has been praised for its high energy density compared to gaseous hydrogen, offering extended range and performance similar to diesel trucks. Additionally, Daimler's commitment to the Paris Climate Protection Agreement includes plans to introduce only CO2-neutral vehicles by 2039, with a focus on electric trucks and fuel cell technology to achieve sustainable transport solutions. This investment and development project signifies a significant step towards integrating hydrogen as a key element in sustainable freight transportation, setting a positive trajectory for the future of commercial vehicle industry and climate-friendly transport solutions.
