  "account": "Leading automotive and energy companies aim to accelerate the expansion of hydrogen-powered commercial vehicles across Europe, according to the Industry Alliance for Water Hydrogen Trucks. At the Industry showcase IAA Transportation, companies such as Volvo Group, Daimler Truck, Toyota, Bosch, Air Liquide and TotalEnergies unveiled their plans to establish the conditions for widespread adoption of climate-friendly trucks by 2030. In order to make the technology competitive with diesel vehicles, the firms are seeking financial support and regulatory incentives from national governments and the European Commission, such as a toll exemption for emissions-free vehicles. On the infrastructure front, the vehicle manufacturers are collaborating with energy companies to construct charging stations capable of serving up to 100 trucks per day. Daimler CEO Karin Radström stated at the sidelines of IAA that the industry is learning from the challenges encountered during the launch of battery electric trucks, which suffered from a spotty charging infrastructure, making progress very slow. Daimler Truck plans to invest a multi-million euro amount in hydrogen trucks by the end of the decade, citing their larger range per tank fill-up compared to battery-powered trucks. The first series of 100 next-generation fuel cell trucks is expected to be delivered to customers by the end of 2026. The Volvo Group is also investing significant sums in the technology to bring comparable vehicles to the market by 2030.",
