FEATURE: Is the off-highway industry ready for hydrogen vehicles?
Multiple OEMs have publicly committed to hydrogen combustion engines for future mid-size and heavy equipment. But are they market-ready and is the market ready for them? While battery technology and electrification are making market progress as practical alternative power options for compact construction and agriculture vehicles, the majority of manufacturers would appear convinced hydrogen-fuelled adaptations of conventional engine bases offer the best blend of attributes for heavier machines and higher power demands. But although recent years have seen plenty of prototype unveilings at trade exhibitions and press events, full market availability and broad industry adoption of such power technology would appear still some way off.
