New investment at Hordain is scaling up production of the Peugeot Expert, Citroën Jumpy and Opel Vivaro fuel cell light commercial vehicles to an industrial level
From 2024, the site will have a production capacity of 5,000 vehicles per year, reaffirming Stellantis’ ambition to be the first mass-produced manufacturer of hydrogen-powered utility vehicles
According to a CSIS report, it is expected that clean hydrogen may significantly alter bilateral energy ties in the Indo-pacific region. On the other hand, can you elaborate further on how the ongoing Russian-Ukraine war will change the dynamics of the clean hydrogen trade in Asia?
Rakesh Aneja, vice president of eMobility at Daimler Truck North America: “Electric trucks are being delivered to customers now, and hopefully hydrogen trucks are going to follow shortly thereafter. The demand is high and the availability of the new fuel — whether it be electric energy or hydrogen — is a critical item to allow ramp up at scale.”
“This is part of the French and European industrial renewal in the production of clean vehicles ", welcomes Jean-Baptiste Djebbari, the former Minister for Transport, now Chairman of the Board of Directors of Hopium. The Machina in question, a sedan that promises a range of 1,000 km, will however display a premium price of 120,000 euros. "But industrial models provide for a decrease in the cost of 3% to 5% per year for fuel cell vehicles", promises Jean-Baptiste Djebbari . The Machina will be manufactured in Normandy from 2025 and the objective is to market it the same year.
Hyster Company announces testing of a top-pick container handler powered by hydrogen fuel cells (HFC) at Fenix Marine Services in the Port of Los Angeles. Building on the industry standard Hyster® H1050-1150XD-CH top-pick container handler design, the truck is powered by two 45kw hydrogen fuel cells from Nuvera, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hyster parent company Hyster-Yale Group.
The Tri-Valley – San Joaquin Valley Regional Rail Authority has reached a final agreement with the City of Tracy, California to purchase 200 acres for a green hydrogen production facility as part of the Valley Link Rail project.
The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) is expected to provide a significant boost to Nikola’s low carbon hydrogen energy business strategy, enabling lower cost hydrogen supply and dispensing infrastructure
Nikola’s energy business aims to develop access of up to 300 metric-tons of low carbon hydrogen supply and up to 60 hydrogen dispensing stations by 2026
The IRA energy and other climate incentives are anticipated to lower costs across Nikola’s expected portfolio creating greater value for Nikola’s integrated business model
The IRA’s incentives for energy and zero-emissions truck manufacturing businesses are expected to further enable Nikola’s zero-emission trucks to be competitive on a total cost of ownership basis when compared to traditional diesel vehicles
"This is a high-priority technology for this administration. And I will say one word about why and that is versatility," Deputy Secretary of Energy David Turk said at the time, highlighting hydrogen's use in energy storage, electricity generation, transportation and heavy industry.
Despite global progress in clean hydrogen investment, "more efforts are needed" to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, the IEA said.
“After the electric car, which has been going on for about 10 years and scaling up rapidly, the next trend will be hydrogen,” he says. “When it's more scalable, hydrogen will be the hippest thing to drive.”
The fuel cells will be supplied by cellcentric – the joint venture between the Volvo Group and Daimler Truck AG. Cellcentric will build one of Europe’s largest series production facilities for fuel-cells, especially developed for heavy vehicles.
Through an analysis combining physical, epidemiological and statistical models, the team from UCI’s Advanced Power and Energy Program demonstrated that while greener buildings would provide a roughly 15 percent improvement in health outcomes for the broad state population, elimination of greenhouse gases (and other forms of air pollution) from heavy-duty, over-the-road trucking would more directly benefit low-income Californians who live and work in closer proximity to the state’s ports, industrial facilities and highways.
In May, Renault announced plans to bring a hydrogen-powered family car to market by 2030.
Transportation is a crucial puzzle to solve since the most favourable production locations are found in often remote, renewable-rich areas, while demand will be focused in heavily industrialized and densely populated areas, Weichenhain said in a Roland Berger study he authored, ‘Hydrogen transportation: the key to unlocking the clean hydrogen economy.’
