Heavy-duty trucks and buses are now driving hydrogen mobility, with over 90% of hydrogen-fuelled trucks in China and nearly 20% of hydrogen buses in Korea. Europe’s hydrogen bus pilots face cancellations, highlighting the need for stable policies, infrastructure and low-emissions hydrogen supply to achieve zero-emission heavy transport.
When we talk about hydrogen mobility, it’s clear there’s been a big shift lately. What used to be just a bunch of concept fuel-cell passenger cars is now turning into a booming fleet of hydrogen-powered trucks and buses. According to industry data, over 90% of the world’s hydrogen fuel trucks are in China, all thanks to a mix of national and local subsidies. Meanwhile, South Korea is stepping up too, supporting nearly one in five hydrogen buses around the globe. With climate goals tightening and emissions regulations getting stricter, this transformation highlights just how practical and cost-effective hydrogen can be…
