North Carolina-based hydrogen fuel company OneH2 completed the first stage of a dedicated hydrogen fuel plant for the East Coast that can serve forklift fleets and eventually heavy-duty trucks.
Several developers of fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV) and hydrogen technologies are collaborating to streamline testing of heavy-duty hydrogen fueling hardware and help standardize fuel cell electric trucks.
A hydrogen fueling station opened near the Los Angeles International Airport, which is the 39th retail hydrogen station in California, according to the California Fuel Cell Partnership.
Hyundai Motor Group plans to invest $6.7 billion in hydrogen fuel cell technology and hopes to produce 700,000 fuel cell systems each year by 2030. Hyundai, which owns about 33% of Kia Motor Corp., plans to install 500,000 of those in Hyundai and Kia vehicles.
The California Air Resources Board has preliminarily awarded $41 million to the Port of Los Angeles to establish network to transport goods throughout southern California using hydrogen fuel cell electric trucks.
The California Fuel Cell Partnership (CaFCP) published a strategic vision that details the significance of establishing a self-sustaining market for fuel cell vehicles, which includes establishing 1,000 hydrogen fueling stations in the state by 2030.
With Nikola trucks launching in 2020 and in full production by 2021 and hydrogen fuel stations popping up across the country, hydrogen may become a serious factor for trucking sooner than we think.
In what could be good news for the growth and adoption of hydrogen-fuel-cell-vehicles, an Australian agency says it has developed a way to create hydrogen from ammonia – and ammonia is far easier to store and transport than hydrogen. In fact, Ammonia stores almost twice as much energy as liquid hydrogen.
Hawaii's distributor of Toyota, Lexus, and Subaru vehicles has opened the state's first publicly accessible hydrogen fueling station and later this month will begin leasing the Mirai fuel cell vehicle, Toyota has announced.
Sales for the Toyota Mirai in California have surpassed the 3,000 mark, and now make up more than 80% of all hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles in the U.S.
