“Stellantis to Launch Hydrogen Fuel Cell-Powered Ram Pickup Trucks in the U.S. by 2027” BNN Correspondents - December 5, 2023 “Stellantis, the global automotive powerhouse, has unveiled plans for the introduction of #hydrogenfuelcellpowered Ram #pickuptrucks in the U.S. market. The launch is slated for late 2026 or early 2027, as revealed by the group’s CEO, Carlos Tavares. The announcement was made during the inauguration of a cutting-edge #fuelcellfactory by Stellantis subsidiary Symbio in Saint Fons, near Lyon, France.” “Stellantis’s #Hydrogen Ambitions The automotive giant further confirmed its ambition to develop #hydrogentechnology for the Ram brand. The Symbio #fuelcell pickups are expected to deliver an impressive range of 320 miles without cargo or 200 miles when towing. Remarkably, these vehicles can be recharged in just five minutes. Stellantis’s commitment to #hydrogen technology extends beyond #pickups, with its intention to expand its range of #fuelcellpowered #largevans in Europe under the Peugeot, Citroen, and Opel brands. These vehicles will be assembled at the Hordain factory in France, offering a range of 500 kilometers and a recharge time of under ten minutes.” “Subsidy for Price Competitiveness Tavares underscored the necessity of a subsidy of at least 30,000 euros for three to five years to make these vehicles price-competitive with battery electric and combustion engine vehicles. This statement indicates the significant challenges the industry faces in achieving cost parity with traditional fuel vehicles and highlights the critical role of government support in promoting #greentransportation.” “Symbio’s Hydrogen Gigafactory Symbio, jointly owned by Stellantis, Michelin, and Forvia, aims to produce 16,000 fuel cells in 2023 at the Saint Fons factory and increase production to 50,000 by 2026. The factory, known as SymphonHy, is Europe’s largest integrated production site for fuel cells.” https://lnkd.in/emJ36VSB?

H2X Global Limited is an Australian automotive company that specialises in Hydrogen Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles and Fuel Cell Electric Generators. Focusing on “back to base” logistic vehicle fleets such as Buses, Trucks, Delivery Vans and Taxis, H2X Global leverages Hydrogen Fuel Cell Technology to deliver zero-emission vehicles with faster refuelling and longer driving range than BEVs. The utes and vans differ from electric cars in that hydrogen vehicles can refuel and get back on the road within three minutes - an advantage that H2X foresees will be appreciated by petrol station operators that are looking to bring on board this type of technology.

My old boss Chris Silveira and I were chatting over a year ago about EV & Hybrid vehicles, and he suggested that I should learn about hydrogen and its potential in the auto industry. The more I learn, the more I see how hydrogen could be used as a sustainable fuel alternative especially in Northern climates. Japan is developing multiple applications of existing hydrogen technology to test the practicalities of mass usage in the real world. I am watching, learning and curious to see where this goes! https://lnkd.in/ghU5Nwkv #hydrogenmobility #hydrogenfuel #hydrogennews #autoindustry #fleetsolutions

[Hyundai hydrogen trucks hit 10m km of emission-free rides in Switzerland] Decarbonizing effects of Xcient Fuel Cell equal to planting 700,000 pine trees Hyundai Motor Company (현대자동차)’s hydrogen-powered truck Xcient Fuel Cell has surpassed 10 million kilometers in accumulated mileage in Switzerland, the South Korean automaker announced Wednesday. The milestone came three years and eight months after the world’s first mass-produced hydrogen-electric truck began to hit the roads in Switzerland in Oct. 2020. Currently, there are 48 Xcient Fuel Cells in operation in the central European country. The truck, which is equipped with a 180-kilowatt hydrogen fuel cell system and a driving motor boasting a maximum output of 350 kW, can drive up to 400 km per charge. Hyundai Motor pointed out that its hydrogen-powered trucks have significantly reduced potential carbon emissions as they only emit water from driving unlike diesel-powered trucks producing carbon dioxides from driving.

White Logistics has agreed to include trucks supplied by HVS (Hydrogen Vehicle Systems) within its fleet, on a trial basis. The purpose of this will be for White Logistics to explore the use of the trucks within its fleet and to decide if they would be a good and effective method of helping White Logistics to decarbonise. The plan for this trial run, is for the HGVs to be added into White Logistics fleet, which currently contains more than one hundred and fifty delivery vehicles and trailers. White Logistics is doing this, because their aim to decarbonise could be achieved through the use of these vehicles. The article below portrays a partnership between two companies, which is occurring due to their interest in helping industries decarbonise. They also show interest in expanding the decarbonisation market, through using more hydrogen vehicles. Interested in attending The World’s largest conference dedicated to Hydrogen?

"Only 263 fuel-cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) were registered in Germany — Europe’s largest market for hydrogen cars — throughout 2023, down nearly 70% from the 835 registered in 2022" "This brings the number of passenger FCEVs currently on German roads up to 2,364 [...] — compared to more than 1.4 million battery-electric vehicles (BEVs). [...] The KBA counted 524,219 BEVs registered in 2023 alone, steadily growing from 470,559 the year before." "German taxpayer’s association Bund der Steuerzahler (BdSt) in September called for an end to subsidies on FCEVs and hydrogen refuelling stations, estimating that at least €450m ($493m) — excluding EU funding — had been spent since 2007, which it described as “absurd” and “pointless”. That translates to more than €190,000 of subsidies per fuel-cell car." Almost never do I find myself agreeing with the German taxpayer's association, but every now and then I have to give them credit. Back in 2018, when I started in this business, FCEVs have already been a dangerous distraction from BEVs and at this point they are just completely useless. #ev #electric #electrification #electricvehicle #electricvehicles #evcharging #charging #chargingstations #renewableenergy #energy #economics #solar #photovoltaics #pv #wind #climatecrisis https://lnkd.in/dM6m537y

IDTechEx predicts that only 4% of zero-emission road vehicles will be hydrogen-powered in 20 years. While fuel-cell cars will remain a small part of the market, about a fifth of zero-emission trucks are expected to run on hydrogen by 2044. The report highlights challenges such as the high upfront cost of fuel-cell vehicles, lack of hydrogen refueling infrastructure, and ongoing cost disparities compared to battery electric vehicles. Despite a potential growth in fuel-cell car sales in the long term, IDTechEx emphasizes that fuel-cell trucks may have a greater opportunity, constituting 19% of the zero-emission heavy-duty truck market in 2044. #Sustainability #HydrogenVehicles #ZeroEmission #CleanTransportation #GreenTech
