Den grønne omstilling af transportsektoren er én af tidens største udfordringer. Det gælder ikke mindst den tunge transport og fragtindustrien. En ny tværeuropæisk brintkoalition vil nu for alvor gøre op med udledningerne og klimabelastningen fra den tunge transport. Koalitionen har sat det meget ambitiøse mål, at 100.000 brintlastbiler og tilhørende infrastruktur af 1.500 brinttankstationer skal udrulles i Europa fra 2030, og der skal gøres en strategisk indsats for udbredelsen af infrastrukturen frem mod 2030.
I koalitionens statement lyder det:
“As part of our transition to zero emissions powertrains, we commit to the joint target for the transport sector in Europe to deploy up to 100,000 FCH heavy-duty trucks from 2030 onwards as highlighted in the study supported by the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking, as well as up to 1,500 hydrogen refuelling stations (HRS) closely synchronised with FCH heavy-duty truck developments and roll out until 2030. We intend to do so by cross-industry collaboration, introducing new products and business models, use FCH trucks for our logistics service offerings and establish the respective HRS networks and fuel supply chain to kick-start and speed-up their deployment.
We herewith express our commitment and willingness to contribute to the decarbonisation of the European transport sector by heavily investing in the development, production and deployment of FCH trucks, to create demand for large amounts of green hydrogen and to build and operate the respective HRS infrastructure.
To achieve the necessary scale effects and to reach expected cost reductions through technical optimisations until fuel cell trucks and hydrogen reach competitive market prices, we intend to support commercialisation by a concerted push to the market.”
