Fleet Hydrogen Basics

Hydrogen is one transportation fuel option public and private heavy-duty vehicle fleets can consider. Heavy-duty hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles provide the performance benefits of electric drivetrains (e.g., high instantaneous torque for heavy loads and performance improvements at high altitudes and on steep grades) and can contribute to air quality improvements in high-traffic areas. For some regions and duty cycles, hydrogen could be a better fit for heavy-duty fleets than current battery-electric options because of the increased range and faster fueling times.
