New European Heavy Freight Decarbonization Study Is Much Better Than Most
The results are aligned with what’s obvious to anyone who has done bottom-up estimates with realistic perspectives on batteries and hydrogen.

California’s Hydrogen Stations Being Fixed More Hours Than Pumping At 30% Capex Per Year
Recently I’ve been reviewing studies related to hydrogen trucking, as it’s one of the few places where serious transportation research organizations still hold out hope for the energy carrier. I’ve looked at studies from multiple countries in Europe and North America back as far as 2010 now. Most recently I’ve … [continued]
Hydrogen Fleets Are Much More Expensive To Maintain Than Battery & Even Diesel
One of the interesting things I’ve been doing is participating in a review group for a European study on heavy vehicle decarbonization comparisons and simulations. That means, among other things, that I’m poking at the assumptions being used. As the paper is in review and assumptions are being tested and … [continued]
What About Liquid Hydrogen Or Hydrogen Pipelines For Truck Stops? Yeah, No.
More publications on hydrogen refueling of freight trucks means more questions to answer. Freight trucking researcher, Jakob Rogstadius, Swedish senior researcher at RISE for Mobility and Systems, was working to understand the critique of The International Council on Clean Transportation’s fatally flawed total cost of ownership study and provided the English-language … [continued]
ICCT Hydrogen Trucking Scenario Would Require Europe To Ban All Electric Vehicles
Improbable and unrealistic scenarios are excellent tools to explore the odder aspects of our universe. Schrödinger’s cat being both alive and dead is a case in point. The trolley problem which had a massive resurgence in popularity and cultural awareness with the rise of autonomous cars is another. The thing … [continued]
A Liquid Future Emerges For Green Hydrogen In Texas (Where Else?)
This fuel cell truck sported liquid H2 on a test run in Texas, where the green hydrogen revolution is taking shape.
Fleet Owners Just Want More EV Charging Stations, Not The Moon
Fleet owners that represent more than 2.5 million vehicles on the road and claim more than $1.1 trillion in annual revenue figure they should have some say in the matter of building out the national EV charging network here in the US, and they have a lot to say. A … [continued]
EPA’s Truck Rule Misses The Mark — But There’s Still Time To Fix It
The new rule is long overdue—the last set of trucks standards were developed over two decades ago. Unfortunately, the agency’s proposal is weaker than existing state action and fails to advance the deployment of zero-emission trucks at the pace needed to address the urgent public health crisis caused by tailpipe exhaust.
MassDEP Files New Regulations to Advance Clean Truck Market in Massachusetts

Process Kicks Off Public Comment Period; Public Hearing set for February 1 BOSTON — To further reduce transportation emissions and accelerate the adoption of zero-emission vehicles (ZEV), the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) on December 30, 2021, announced emergency regulations have been … [continued]
New York Adopts ACT Rule Bringing Clean Trucks to the State
By Kathy Harris & Patricio Portillo New York is closing out 2021 with a big climate and clean air win — becoming the fifth state in the country to adopt the Advanced Clean Trucks (ACT) rule. As I have written previously, New York needed to adopt the ACT rule by the end of the … [continued]
