UK's Rethink Energy predicts that Hydrogen will be the likely victor in a study comparing it with Battery Electric for heavy haulage.
The UK government has launched a £200 million investigation into the future of its road freight. Over a three-year period, it will look to understand economic advantages of hydrogen and electric trucks, as well as the infrastructure required to decarbonize a sector that is responsible for around 5% of the country’s total carbon emissions.
It also outlined the key outcomes of this program as a comparison between battery-electric and hydrogen-powered technologies, with demonstrations set to be funded in each. have snapped back by arguing that electric grids will struggle to cope with large numbers of HGVs being charged at once. Further, battery supply chain challenges are already severely limited EV production and adoption.Volkswagen-owned truck maker Scania also made a surprising pivot in its view on hydrogen.
Models for both vehicle types are now entering the market. Hyzon Motors’ pilot trucks will hit the road from this year, while Hyundai’s XCIENT has already been delivered to customers in Switzerland. In the electric space, we’ve seen releases including Volvo’s VNR Electric, Kenworth’s Class 8 T68oE, and Daimler’s Mercedes-Benz eActros LongHaul. However, the freight market’s logistical routes are fairly predictable, and infrastructure does not need to be a massive barrier to deployment.
