Weighing 36 tons and without CO2: Hydrogen - the clean alternative for trucks?

In the auto industry, everything revolves around the golden egg, electromobility. And the battery charged, please. Or not? In the heavy-duty sector, almost all manufacturers are now developing a hydrogen drive. In these trucks, just like in hydrogen cars, gaseous hydrogen is converted into electricity with the help of a fuel cell. This drives an electric motor, and only environmentally friendly water vapor is produced as exhaust gas.

The ranges vary depending on the manufacturer and model. However, up to 600 kilometers are realistic. However, such a truck is not cheap: 200,000 to 600,000 euros change hands per truck.
