Fraunhofer analysis finds battery-electric trucks have energy cost advantage over hydrogen trucks

Green Car Congress

Electricity and hydrogen are the two key energy carriers for a low-carbon future, and hydrogen will play a vital role in industry, shipping and synthetic aviation fuels. This is not likely to fail due to the resilience of the power grids—our trucks mainly load at midday and at night, when demand and prices are particularly low.
