Venson Automotive Solutions is advocating for HGV fleet managers to not overlook hydrogen-powered trucks as they transition from diesel to electric vehicles. Through their latest white paper, 'The Big Hydrogen Question,' Venson delves into the potential role of hydrogen in achieving cleaner road transport. The report examines technological advancements, policy changes, market trends, and case studies, highlighting the transformative impact of carbon-neutral, green hydrogen. Simon Staton, the client management director at Venson, suggests that while hydrogen cars may not be ready for widespread fleet use yet, investments in hydrogen vehicle technologies and refueling networks are making fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) increasingly attractive for UK fleet operators. He emphasizes the importance of monitoring these developments, especially for mixed fleets and heavier vehicles. Venson acknowledges past barriers to hydrogen adoption, such as high costs and limited infrastructure, but notes the evolving landscape with manufacturers investing in hydrogen and efuel vehicles, and industry bodies focusing on technician training. The upcoming launch of the Hydrogen UK trade association in 2022 further signals the growing support for hydrogen solutions in the UK. Staton highlights the prediction of decreasing hydrogen prices and components by 2030, driven by economies of scale, making FCEVs a competitive option. The industry is shifting towards a nuanced approach, recognizing that the choice between FCEVs and battery electric vehicles (BEVs) depends on the specific vehicle application. While BEVs dominate the passenger car market, hydrogen fuel cell technology is rapidly advancing in the HGV sector, challenging the dominance of diesel. The evolving landscape underscores the need for fleets to remain adaptable and informed as hydrogen continues to advance in the transportation sector.
