Q: Why is there a perceived need for alternatively fuelled low emission

commercial vehicles?

A: Political and societal response to concerns over vehicle emissions

Why is there a need for alternatively fuelled trucks?

First and lightest element in the periodic table

Not naturally occurring in the environment

Hydrogen molecules abundant – most notably in

water (H20) and hydrocarbons

Very light gas – quickly disperses

Flammable but clean burning

Light density means needs to be stored under high

pressure to obtain useful energy density

Can be made from hydrocarbons or via electrolysis

of water

Primarily an industrial gas used for chemical

processes

What is Hydrogen?

All fuels can be safely

managed except in accidents

Hydrogen is considered safer

than gasoline

Is hydrogen safe?

Diesel is considered safer than gasoline and

hydrogen in accidents because;

it is more difficult to burn

stored at ambient pressure

doesn’t explode like lighter counterparts

doesn’t release fumes in the same way as

gasoline

• Can be used to power fuel cell engines delivering;

• High energy efficiency

• Zero pollutant emissions at the tailpipe

• Provides a means to link renewal energy generation

• Can be used as a power internal combustion engines

• Comparatively cleaner burning fuel versus diesel

• Practical and have fuel benefits but not the ‘fuel cell’ benefits (energy efficiency and zero tailpipe emissions)

Why Hydrogen for Vans and Trucks?

• Key advantages versus diesel?

• Zero pollutant emissions and potential for near zero carbon emissions

• Key advantages versus electricity?

• Faster fill and longer range between refills

Powered by two Mirai fuel cell stacks

and a 12kWh battery, its estimated

driving range is more than 200 miles

per fill, under normal trucking

operations

Hydrogen Commercial Vehicle – Class 8 Prototype Trucks

Toyota and Freightliner collaboration for

heavy-hauling use will be moving goods

from select terminals at the Port of LA and

Long Beach to nearby warehouses and rail

yards

nikolamotor.com/one;

Nikola Motor Co. recently unveiled its fuel-cell-

powered Nikola One concept with a claimed range of

between 800 and 1,200 kilometres.

Tesla also unveiled

a battery electric

class 8 truck with

500 mile range

Conclusions

• Hydrogen among a number of low emission vehicle options for commercial vehicles

• Hydrogen novel as a transport fuel but offers link to renewables and potential for zero tailpipe and zero carbon emissions

• Two forms of deployment;

• Fuel cell electric vehicle

• Dual-fuel Internal Combustion Engine

• First products now available with supporting grant funding

• Prototypes of larger trucks will go on test in the US
