The EU wants to expand the use of hydrogen trucks
EU ‘must do more’ on hydrogen trucks
Regulation should set interim goal and be more specific on targets for liquid hydrogen infrastructure, says industry body Acea
The EU’s Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (Afir) must do more to address the lack of infrastructure for hydrogen vehicles, according to the industry group the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (Acea). Afir—a central pillar of the European Commission’s ‘Fit for 55’ climate package—aims to ensure the availability and usability of a dense, widespread network of alternative fuel infrastructure throughout the EU. As it stands, the regulation proposal would require member states to install almost 2,000 hydrogen refuelling stations by 2030. Some 124 stations were available across ten EU countries in 2020—the last year for which complete data is available—but 17 member states
