Global hydrogen demand is projected to increase by 7% annually, with transportation expected to account for 4% of the total share by 2030. Within this segment, light-duty fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) are anticipated to dominate the hydrogen vehicle market through 2030. However, beyond this period, the market for heavy-duty hydrogen vehicles is expected to expand significantly due to the introduction of new models. Recent industry announcements indicate a robust growth trajectory for hydrogen-powered vehicles over the next decade, particularly in the heavy-duty sector. Notable manufacturers such as Hyzon, Daimler Truck North America, and Hyundai have unveiled plans to deliver heavy-duty fuel cell trucks.

This panel discussion presentsa comprehensive analysis of the drivers behind hydrogen production in heavy-duty applications. It also offers a realistic perspective on the infrastructure challenges that must be addressed, specifically focusing on the development of hydrogen refueling stations.
