Participants in the Last Clean-Vehicle Segments Emerge

I have written enough papers on hydrogen-fueled vehicles to know their potential advantages verses battery-electric vehicles (BEV):

  • Fast refueling
  • Very long run-time without refueling

There are two segments of vehicles that appear to be unable to easily transition to designs with no greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions:

  • Construction vehicles (bulldozers, front loaders, dump trucks, backhoes, etc.)
  • Long-range/duration road vehicles (interstate transports, heavy tow trucks, etc.)

There seems to be a match between the above “advantages” and “vehicles” that might suggest the emergence of some hydrogen-fueled vehicles to meet the needs of the two vehicle segments.
