UC Davis researchers suggest we may be at the beginning of a real hydrogen transition in transportation

Green Car Congress

This is far from certain, they acknowledge in a new NextSTEPS whitepaper, as hydrogen faces a range of challenges, from economic to societal, before it can be implemented as a large-scale transportation fuel. Several methods of producing hydrogen, including from renewable sources, provide the potential for even greater benefits.

Groupe Renault creating first European factory dedicated to the circular economy of mobility in Flins

Green Car Congress

To meet this demand the division will work on developing new services (renewal, heavy repairs, etc.) to vehicle fleets and shared mobility players, such as the ZITY electric car-sharing service. New operating opportunities such as stationary storage make it possible to perpetuate the service that the battery offers.
