DHL Supply Chain and Diageo North America have announced plans to introduce two hydrogen fuel cell electric Class 8 trucks in Illinois, supplied by Nikola Corporation. These trucks will be fueled by a HYLA modular refueler at the Diageo campus in Plainfield, marking a milestone for the state. The initiative is part of a broader sustainable supply chain strategy to decarbonize logistics operations and reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The hydrogen fuel cell electric trucks are expected to replace two diesel trucks, resulting in an 80% reduction in carbon emissions annually. These trucks produce no tailpipe emissions, improving air quality and driver comfort, while also reducing local emissions such as particulate matter and nitrogen oxides. Additionally, the trucks offer up to 500 miles in range on a single fill, powered by fuel cell technology converting hydrogen into electricity. This switch showcases a sustainable and efficient alternative to traditional diesel vehicles, enhancing driver safety and comfort through noise reduction and advanced camera support.
