Project description
Accelerating hydrogen use in Europe’s freight industry
Three major European truck manufacturers will deploy 150 trucks for long-haul operations covering distances exceeding 600 km across eight EU Member States. To facilitate this initiative, a new network of hydrogen refuelling stations will be created along key transport corridors in both north and south Europe. The EU-funded H2Accelerate TRUCKS project highlights hydrogen as a potential solution to reduce carbon emissions within the road freight industry. It will generate a comprehensive data set, which will be analysed to produce a publicly accessible report on fleet performance. This report will be made available to policymakers, truck operators and the hydrogen industry to assist in the adoption of and investment in hydrogen-powered trucks and their associated supply chains.
Objective
125 hydrogen fuel cell trucks from three truck OEMs (Volvo Group, Scania and Hyundai) and one truck retrofitter (Hyliko) will be deployed across six EU member states/associated countries. The truck manufacturers will supply vehicles able to achieve a 400/600 km minimum range between refuels for 350/700 bar storage, respectively. 41-44 tonne articulated trucks will be included among the types of trucks to deploy, covering the longest haul road freight. The trucks will be deployed with over 20 European truck operators and operate in a wide range of conditions and day-to-day operations, across the European member states/associated countries.
The trucks will operate on a developing network of hydrogen refuelling stations (HRS), designed specifically for trucks with the help of project Associated Partners, TotalEnergies, Everfuel and TEAL Mobility. This new generation of truck refuelling stations aims to achieve >1000 kg/day of dispensing capacity. These HRS will initially be focused on the regions where the vehicles are manufactured to enable the high level of on-road support that the OEM customers will rely on. Eventual expansions of the HRS network will work towards covering the major TEN-T transport corridors from North to South Europe. Where possible, the stations will be supplied using green hydrogen from a network of electrolysers producing green hydrogen consistent with RED II and RED III requirements, with associated Guarantees of Origin.
The project will create an extensive technical, economic and attitudinal dataset which proves the viability of hydrogen as a solution to decarbonising road freight. This will be analysed by research partners, SINTEF, VTT and ERM to create easily interpretable public reports on the performance of the fleet. The results will be disseminated to an audience of (i) policy makers, to encourage policy change to favour hydrogen truck deployment, (ii) truck operators, to enable future uptake, and (iii) the wider hydrogen industry, to underpin supply chain investment.
These activities will contribute to accelerating the rate and scale of uptake of hydrogen-powered vehicles in Europe, preparing the policy, fuelling network and end user acceptance for the first series production of these vehicles (at the scale of 100’s per year per truck manufacturer) from as early as 2027 and full industrialisation (1,000’s per year per truck manufacturer) around 2030.
