Hydrogen Cars, Vehicles and Infrastructure
Introduction As the global shipping industry navigates the treacherous waters of decarbonization, one of Japan’s largest maritime conglomerates is preparing to launch a vessel that could signal a profound shift in how coastal passenger transport operates. Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK Line) has announced that its first ship powered by a hydrogen fuel cell system, […]
Continue ReadingAs the aviation industry faces mounting pressure to decouple growth from carbon emissions, a wave of next-generation innovators is stepping up to redefine clean flight. Leading this charge is Cellsius, a dedicated non-profit association of students primarily from ETH Zurich. Building upon their past achievements in electric aviation, the team is putting the final touches […]
Continue ReadingThe heavy-duty transport sector stands at a pivotal crossroads. As global pressure mounts to decarbonize logistics, the industry faces a unique challenge: how to eliminate emissions without sacrificing the power and range required for long-haul freight. Beiben Trucks, a major force in China’s commercial vehicle sector, has answered this call with a bold technological leap. […]
Continue ReadingFor decades, the historic tracks of the motorsports world have echoed with the roar of internal combustion engines. But at the 2026 Shell Eco-marathon Americas competition, held at the iconic Indianapolis Motor Speedway, a different kind of racing revolutionized the paddock. This year, the spotlight shone brightly on the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) […]
Continue Reading64 tonnes. 300 kilometers. Zero emissions. The world’s first heavy-haul hydrogen freight test is happening right now on the frozen highways of Alberta. For decades, the environmental movement has had a blind spot. We’ve cheered for electric sedans, subsidized solar panels, and optimized logistics routes. But every time we patted ourselves on the back, a […]
Continue ReadingIn a volatile market of unicorns and hype, the most awarded fuel cell bus of the year isn’t a startup. It’s a Stuttgart workhorse. Every year, industry juries award “Champion” titles to vehicles that promise to save the planet. Too often, those trophies gather dust while the vehicles struggle with brittle supply chains, thermal […]
Continue ReadingIn mid-March 2026, China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), along with two other departments, issued a joint circular that laid down a clear marker for the future of mobility. The target is unequivocal: by 2030, China aims to have 100,000 fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) in operation nationwide—doubling the fleet size from 2025 […]
Continue ReadingIn the landscape of construction, the sight and sound of heavy machinery are synonymous with progress. However, the familiar roar of a diesel engine is also a major contributor to global carbon emissions. In Japan, a country deeply committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, a quiet revolution is taking place. In December 2025, a […]
Continue ReadingIn the global race toward a zero-emission future, battery electric vehicles (BEVs) have long dominated headlines and market strategies. Yet, in the dynamic landscape of South Korea, a quiet but potent revolution has been building—a strong revival of the hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV). After a period of cautious exploration, South Korea is now […]
Continue ReadingFor decades, the vision of clean, long-haul trucking has been tantalizingly out of reach. Electric batteries, while transformative for passenger vehicles and short-range logistics, face the immutable laws of physics when confronting the 500-mile hauls, heavy payloads, and rapid refueling demands of freight transport. The industry has looked to hydrogen fuel cells as the most […]
