There's a push for H2 long distance trucking in Europe . The big EU energy firms are all in the process of building large scale electrolysers. Unfortunately it's going to be horribly expensive as the cost of electricity drives the cost of H2. And electricity is very pricey at the moment.Clearly, the future is hydrogen! I've done extensive research and found that hydrogen is considered the best, most efficient fuel for the future of mobility.
Nearly every scientist and engineer agree, it is the lightest substance ever! And, it is in water! WOW, let's go! /s
Reuters: Stellantis in talks to buy 'substantial' stake in hydrogen mobility company Symbio.
Stellantis in talks to buy 'substantial' stake in hydrogen mobility company Symbio
Stellantis has entered exclusive talks with France's Faurecia and Michelin to buy a "substantial" stake in their Symbio joint venture, a fuel cell system maker for hydrogen mobility, the three companies said on Friday.www.reuters.com
"Chief Executive Carlos Tavares said Symbio's technical roadmap "perfectly" matched with Stellantis hydrogen roll-out plans in Europe and in the U.S"
Batteries will win out in the long run but there will probably be another 5-10 years where fuel cell long distance trucks are purchased and operated at high cost as an attempt to get away from diesel while ev trucks continue to improve range, cost and availability.
Cleanerwatt has a recent video discussing the Tesla semi in Europe where the lack of a cab-over model will cause some issues due to the length of the semi. However given the size of the market and the fact that Tesla will only produce 50k a year, it's unlikely that Tesla will run out of demand for the semi for years to come. And if it does limit demand I'm sure Tesla will create a cab-over model in due course, even if it does sacrifice aero.
