Developing hydrogen-powered mobility (heavy-duty vehicles)

You have a project to deploy heavy-duty hydrogen vehicles. A heavy vehicle is a vehicle with a combined gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 4,500 kg or more. Hydrogen-powered models are unique in that they do not directly emit greenhouse gases. When on the road, they emit no gases at all. Heavy-duty hydrogen vehicles include road vehicles (hydrogen trucks, hydrogen buses, hydrogen refuse trucks, forklift trucks), rail vehicles (trains, streetcars) and marine transport vehicles (boats).

This practical information sheet gives you the methods you need to carry out your project in this chronological order:

• mobilize players across the value chain;

• evaluate all costs in the value chain;

• put in place all the financial elements to promote total cost of ownership (TCO);

• anticipate project implementation schedules and deadlines;

• comply with regulations when setting up the project.
