German auto parts supplier Bosch announced Monday it has entered into a licensing agreement with Swedish company Powercell Sweden AB to jointly mass produce hydrogen fuel cells for heavy-duty trucks.
Hydrogen fuel cells require less time to refill than electric vehicle batteries, allowing vehicles to be on the road for longer periods of time.
According to the plans of the European Union, carbon dioxide (CO2025) emissions from trucks should be reduced by 2% by 15, and by 2030% by 30. This is forcing the transportation industry to switch to hybrid and electric powertrains.
