Hydrogen fuel

Really cold hydrogen could bring driving range parity with diesel

The time it takes to fuel a hydrogen-powered fuel cell truck is already on par with diesel. But there is still a yawning gap when it comes to comparable driving range. A new hydrogen storage system that packs more energy density might change that.

The goal of hydrogen and battery-electric trucks is to reduce the 12% of greenhouse gas emissions attributed to heavy-duty trucking.

White Paper: Battery electric vs. hydrogen fuel cell vs. HVO – which is the winning technology?

Various types of heavy-haul transportation claim to be environmentally friendly, but just how resilient one type of technology or fuel might be depends on a range of factors – such as the GHG emissions associated with producing the required fuel and whether there is a feasible chance that this type of fuel can meet the overall transportation demand.

In this white paper, Einride compares the three most talked-about alternatives to diesel – battery electric, HVO biofuel, and hydrogen fuel cell –...

Bosch’s RevX rolls up available spot loads 

If freight brokers weren’t so preoccupied with celebrating competitor missteps, one of them might have beaten Robert Bosch to RevX — a spot load aggregation tool that also flags double brokering.

The cloud-based RevX is the second product from the German auto supplier’s global Logistics Operating System (L.OS), aimed at simplifying technology and operational processes in transportation and logistics. L.OS launched in December with a goal of generating more than $540 million in freight-related...

Nikola cuts 10-year hydrogen deal with FirstElement Fuel

Nikola Corp. has entered a 10-year partnership with FirstElement Fuel to provide hydrogen for its push to sell fuel cell electric trucks in California.

FirstElement Fuel (FEF) is the leading hydrogen station operator in the Golden State. It is relatively new to heavy-duty truck refueling. It operates a fast-refueling station in Oakland. Thirty Hyundai Xcient fuel cell trucks participate in a pilot program at the Port of Oakland. The station received funding from the California Energy Commission...

China Shows Commitment To Green Transport With First Hydrogen Ship

Credit: zerocarbonshipping

The latest achievement in China’s push for more green transport was made by China’s shipbuilding industry last week with the commissioning of the country’s first hydrogen-powered ship.

Maiden Voyage

Three Gorges Hydrogen Boat 1 sailed on its maiden voyage, which was a short ceremonial trip on the Yichang section of the Yangtze River in Hubei province, and was then delivered to its operator, China Yangtze Power, a State-owned hydropower company. The electric catamaran was...
