Energie: Konzerne planen gemeinsame Wasserstoff-Tankstellen in Europa
Die Lkw-Branche sucht nach Alternativen zum Verbrenner. Einige große Konzerne tun sich nun zusammen. Ihr Ziel: Wasserstoff wettbewerbsfähig machen.
Major automotive manufacturers and energy giants are planning to collaborate on establishing hydrogen refueling stations across Europe. Companies like Daimler Truck, Volvo, Toyota Motor, Bosch, Air Liquide, Total, Teal Mobility, and MB Energy aim to build a network of hydrogen refueling stations, as announced together in Leinfelden-Echterdingen, Esslingen.
Their common goal is to make hydrogen competitive, focusing on infrastructure and competitive pricing. Further details will be revealed during a press conference in Hannover on September 15th. The trucking industry is exploring alternatives to internal combustion engines, with hydrogen potentially being a solution. Daimler Truck, Toyota, and Volvo are among the companies involved in fuel cell technology provider Cellcentric, which is based in Kirchheim unter Teck, near Stuttgart.
The company develops, manufactures, and markets fuel cell systems for heavy-duty commercial vehicles. In the commercial vehicle market, environmentally friendly alternatives to the internal combustion engine are sought after, although they are scarcely present. While Daimler Truck offers battery-electric trucks, their market share remains negligible.
Meanwhile, the Swabians are working on hydrogen-based drives. After testing prototypes, Daimler Truck intends to launch a small series of 100 vehicles in customer operations by the end of the year.
