In this insight article, we delve into the complexities of hydrogen-powered vehicles and their emissions beyond the tailpipe. While hydrogen fuel cells offer near-zero tailpipe emissions, the true environmental impact hinges on factors like vehicle design, mileage, and, crucially, the carbon intensity of hydrogen production.

In this insight article, we explore how different fuel cell sizes, combined with varying hydrogen prices, can significantly impact the economic feasibility of heavy-duty trucks. We will explore a case study that demonstrates the potential advantages of a smaller fuel cell, analyze why this problem remains open-ended, and consider the risks and other factors that fleet operators must consider when making these decisions.
