Description (excerpt):

While light-duty vehicles (LDVs) are well on their way to an electric future, hydrogen is often talked about as still having a sizable market in cleaning up heavy-duty trucks (HDTs)— and particularly long-haul tractor-trailers—due to perceived limitations with battery electric trucks (BETs). For example, six of seven federally funded hydrogen hubs have plans to build out hydrogen refueling station networks, with at least five explicitly pointing to serving HDTs.

This fact sheet is part of an Energy Innovation paper assessing clean hydrogen’s value for cutting climate pollution from 12 end uses.
