MAN Truck & Bus outlined its roadmap for the development of CO 2 -free mobility solutions for longer-distance transport. For public transport and distribution applications, the decision seems to have been made: battery electric vehicles are the means of choice. The aim is to test the entire hydrogen ecosystem in transport logistics.
