The European programme has partly been funded by the Clean Hydrogen Partnership (EUR 30 million for 150 hydrogen fuel cell trucks) and the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) for the 8 hydrogen refuelling stations across France and the Netherlands.

Having access to megawatt chargers would mean that drivers would be able to recharge their trucks to near-full energy capacity during their statutory 45-minute breaks, Scania stated.

Using the application, customers should be able to locate charging points which are suitable for commercial vehicles and then, once they have finished charging, pay for it through a RFID (radio-frequency identification) card.

‘ROC-1’ is robotic charger which wirelessly communicates with the vehicle to insert the cable into the charging port and to remove the cable when charging is done.

Quantum Fuel Systems’ tanks are made from “Type 4” composite materials with a polymer lining, storing hydrogen at a pressure of 70 MPa, or 700 bar.

The truck on show - based on the Freightliner Cascadia - had an 80-kg hydrogen storage capacity, but with 100 kg Quantron claims the vehicle range could reach between 750 and 850 miles.

Phoenix Motor says it changed the layout of the new e-chassis (based on the Ford E-450) to make more space for its newly designed battery packs towards the front and rear of the frame rails.

Storing hydrogen at 350 bar pressure, the ‘G-Stor Go H2 Hydrogen Cylinder’ is made from lightweight composite materials with a polymer liner (i.e., “Type 4” cylinder technology).

The joint venture, aptly named Greenlane, will design, develop, install, and operate a US-wide, EV public charging and hydrogen refuelling network.

Under the agreement, revealed in May, Loop Energy will supply its fuel cell modules for integration into Mynt’s range of Purple H2 generators, designed to offer a clean energy alternative to diesel generators.

Voltera will take the lead in identifying suitable locations, building the stations, and operating them, and Nikola will supply them with hydrogen and provide technical support.

The 1 MW stationary charging system converts hydrogen fuel into electricity, which can then be used to recharge a battery-electric (or other plug-in capable) vehicle.
