Hydrogen is Superior in Heavy Duty and High Utilization Use Cases
Structural advantages versus battery alternatives
BATTERY WEIGHT AND CHARGING TIMES ARE MATERIAL ISSUES FOR BEV TRUCKS

In the US, the max weight allowance for Class 8 trucks is 36 tons (approximately 80,000 lbs)
The weight of the truck without the battery is ~7-8 tons and the battery can weigh up to 5 to 8 tons¹

FUTURE OF HYDROGEN IS NOW
A hydrogen fuel cell truck has the potential to generate more revenue because it can carry more weight and can
operate for 24 hours without the need for long recharging times
ADVANTAGES OF HYDROGEN OVER BEV

Payload
Hydrogen enables autonomy in high utilization, 24/7 assets with significant advantages over battery technology
Hyzon has entered into a collaboration agreement to deploy the world's first fully autonomous, zero-emission
truck currently targeted for 2021
Faster Refueling
Better Range
Environmentally cleaner
Higher Payload
The problem is that batteries
are big and heavy. The more
weight you're trying to move,
the more batteries you need to
power the vehicle. But the more
batteries you use, the more
weight you add-and the more
power you need.
Even with big breakthroughs
in battery technology, electric
vehicles will probably never be
a practical solution for things
like 18-wheelers, cargo ships,
and passenger jets. Electricity
works when you need to cover
short distances, but we need a
different solution for heavy,
long-haul vehicles.
