Other national initiatives are experimenting with this alternative to 100% battery-powered buses for zero emission public transport.

Hydrogen hybridization is already being tested on buses and should be developed more strongly in the truck and ship segments, where the weight can reach several tens or even hundreds of tons. This weight and the available volume would not always allow the integration of a 100% battery solution with an acceptable range.

Moreover, the truck segment has begun to take the hydrogen turn. Although diesel is still the leading energy source for road freight transport, the sector is changing rapidly with the rise of hydrogen and the structuring of the industry. Several major players, including Hyzon, VDL, Gaussin, Daimler, Hyundai, Toyota and Man, have announced the launch of hydrogen vehicles, and the European Union is aiming to have 60,000 trucks equipped with a fuel cell on the road by 2030.
