EU must not dilute hydrogen network deployment

Targets on deployment as set by the European Parliament are vital to the rollout of hydrogen trucks, industry bodies say

Industry bodies Hydrogen Europe and the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (Acea) have expressed concerns over the state of discussions on the EU’s Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (Afir).

Trialogue talks between the European Commission, the Council of the EU and the European Parliament are underway and will be concluded by next week.
