Europe reached an inflection point in the move towards Clean Mobility this July, when the EU announced a New Hydrogen Strategy as part of a Green Recovery from the Economic Effects of the covid-19 Crisis. Plans to massively Increase the production of Green Hydrogen Fuel, which is made without Carbon-Dioxide Wmissions by using Renewable Electricity to Separate the Hydrogen and Oxygen in Water, will enable a corresponding Increase in the use of Zero-Emissions Transport.
Enthusiasm for Zero-Emmissions Vehicles often focuses on Electric Cars. But moving Commercial Vehicles to Zero-Emissions Technology is an important part of the Fight against Climate Change. In Switzerland, the shift is already underway. Deliveries of the First Ten Hydrogen Powered Hyundia's Xcient Heavy-Duty Trucks reached Customers this October. 36 New Fuel-Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs) are due to hit Swiss roads by the end of December. With 1,600 Trucks due to be Operational by 2025.
Hydrogen FCEVs suit Commercial Transport because of their ability to cover Long distances and still Refuel quickly. The 190kw Fuel Cell at the Xcient's heart can haul a 36-Ton Truck-Trailer combination upto 400km on a Single Refill of its High-Pressure Hydrogen Tanks, which can take as little as Eight Minutes depending on surrounding Temperatures. In Switzerland, 50% of Electricty already comes from Environmentally friendly Hydropower, so the country is ideally positioned to provide a plentiful source of Zero-Emissions Green Hydrogen.
Running on Green Fuel will help make the Business Case for Buyers of the Xcient, as Switzerland Waives Heavy-Duty Road Taxes on Zero-Emission Commercial vehicles.
Hydrogen Power Around the World:
China: Government aims to supply 1 Million Hydrogen Vehicles by 2030.
EU: 470 Billion Euros ($573,588,000,000) to be Invested in Clean Hydrigen Production.
Germany: 9 Billion Euros ($10,983,600,000) Invested in Promoting Hydrogen Production and Use.
Korea: Hyundai Motor Group and Suppliers to invest $7.6 Trillion Won in R&D and Facilities by 2030, creating 51,000 Jobs.
Saudi Arabia: Hydrogen Production Facility in Neom to Harness more than 4GW of Solar and wind Power.
United States: California Regulation Mandates 30% of heavy-Duty Truck Sales to be Zero-Emissions by 2030.
