Hydrogen Fuel Cell Trucks Are Ready for the Long Haul
With strong federal policy and smart fueling infrastructure investments — like those being made through the Department of Energy’s Hydrogen Hubs program — fuel cell electric trucks (FCETs) can become a cornerstone of a cleaner, more resilient freight system.
Today, 95% of U.S. hydrogen is produced using natural gas — a domestic resource that gives America a head start in building a homegrown hydrogen economy. By using freight as a key offtake market, we can strengthen domestic energy production, reduce dependence on foreign oil, and secure a leadership position in the global clean energy race — all while preserving range, payload, and uptime for the trucking industry.Early deployment of hydrogen in freight can also help drive down production, distribution, and fueling costs through economies of scale.
