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.

These last-mile vehicles are particularly well suited to electrification because they serve predictable routes and travel fewer than 50 miles a day, well within current battery range. Early adopters of EV fleets have already realized 20-25% cost savings from greater efficiency, more affordable “fueling” and reduced maintenance.
