A new report from the Clean Air Task Force (CATF) group compared potential performance of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (FCEV) and battery electric vehicles (BEV), underscoring key advantages to hydrogen in long-haul heavy-duty trucking. Thomas Walker, Transportation Technology Manager at CATF, noted the reality that “vehicle weight and energy needs could make it difficult for trucks to transition away from diesel with onboard battery technology alone.”

The new CATF report finds that greater investment in hydrogen-fuel-cell technology for heavy-duty trucks, such as that proposed by recent legislation in the Senate, could be the best way to reduce diesel emissions associated with over-the-road trucking.
