Tesla and VW are on the right path with heavy, long distance freight.
Hydrogen is economically unviable in freight with the current 15 EUR/kg prices and there is no established development path to anything remotely competitive with electricity on the hydrogen roadmap.
With european driver regulations even the current 450 kW Ionity chargers could be viable but Tesla Megachargers will be perfect.
I don't see hydrogen having any chance in long distance freight whatsoever.
MAN rolling out battery repair centers in Europe
In 2024 and 2025, MAN Truck & Bus will establish battery repair centers in Italy, Denmark/Norway, Austria, Belgium, Netherlands, France, Poland and UK, with further countries in Europe being planned. Millions will be invested in these centers over the next two years. Two battery repair centers ...
This is looking better and better.
I hope the carbon border adjustment mechanism of the EU will hit all climate denying, laggard countries hard.
If this becomes a trend, the EU will nicely re-industrialize and co2 polluter countries loose a lot of business.
Norwegian startup Blastr plans €4B green steel plant in Finland
Norwegian startup Blastr Green Steel is planning to establish a green steel plant with an integrated hydrogen production facility in Inkoo, Finland. Blastr has entered into a Letter of Intent with Nordic energy company Fortum that provides Blastr exclusive rights to utilize the existing industr...

As I remember, people - here on GCC - have been highly skeptical of hydrogen usage in road transport, not in general.
I still think that battery electric is the way to go in the road transport sector. Hydrogen cost and efficiency is still really bad in comparisson with battery tech.
Green Hydrogen will very likely have a significant role in industry, (green steel) agriculture (fertilizer) and energy services (long term storage).
Great that we finally see significant electrolyser production capacity being built out.
Cummins scaling Belgium electrolyzer manufacturing capacity to 1GW through IPCEI support
Cummins will expand PEM electrolyzer manufacturing capacity at its Oevel, Belgium, factory to 1 gigawatt with the support from the Important Project of Common European Interest (IPCEI) Hy2Tech program. IPCEI—recently approved by the European Commission, with funding granted by Flanders Innovatio...
So this doesn' t stop the relative fast capacity fading of the LiS cell, it only stops the catastrophic failure of the cell due to short circuiting by the dendrites?
RPI researchers use self-heating technique to anneal and eliminate lithium dendrites; self-healing anode
Researchers at Rensselaer have developed a new technique using heat to enable self-healing lithium-metal anodes to eliminate dangerous dendrite buildup, paving the way for higher energy density battery technologies. Despite their extremely high energy density, lithium (Li) metal electrodes are n...
