Hydrogen fuel cells can replace diesel in haulage
Truck fleets are well suited to trials of hydrogen fuel cell technology
Hydrogen fuel cells can match diesel engines for reliability and cost, and are a particularly useful solution for large truck fleets running regular routes, according to Ben Nyland, CEO of hydrogen fuel cell manufacturer Loop Energy. Loop manufactures two products. Range extenders can be used to extend the possible distance travelled by personal electric vehicles (EVs) between charges by improving their battery life. EVs are suitable for transport in urban environments where speeds are low and batteries can be recharged regularly, including through regenerative braking. While most EVs can travel 100-200 miles on an average charge, vehicles using hydrogen fuel cells can travel up to 300 miles
