Did you know? National Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Day is observed on October 8th, in recognition of the atomic weight of hydrogen (1.008).
The Hydrogen Fuel Cell Partnership (H2FCP) joins the nation in recognizing the critical role hydrogen and fuel cell technologies play in strengthening American manufacturing, expanding energy exports, advancing U.S. leadership on the global stage, and driving economic growth while supporting energy security and reducing emissions.
To mark this milestone, H2FCP is proud to launch Hydrogen-Powered Trucks: Complete Fleet Guide, a comprehensive ebook designed to accelerate the transition to zero-emission heavy-duty transportation.
NOTE: Register for the “Hydrogen Fuel Cell Partnership: State of the Market” webinar on October 7th at 10:00-11:00 a.m. PT. This free event will discuss H2FCP’s reimagined website and the new ebook, featuring a live Q&A session.
Developed by a team of colleagues led by David Park, H2FCP's Director of Industry Affairs, the ebook addresses a critical need for accessible, practical education in the commercial trucking sector. It equips stakeholders across the transportation ecosystem with the foundational understanding needed to engage meaningfully with hydrogen as a viable fuel solution.
“Hydrogen is already powering America's clean energy future, and commercial trucking represents one of the most promising applications,” said Bill Elrick, Executive Director of H2FCP. “This ebook represents our commitment to transforming complex technology into actionable intelligence for fleet operators. When decision-makers understand hydrogen's capabilities, they can confidently lead their organizations into a sustainable, economically competitive future.”
What Fleet Operators Will Learn
Hydrogen-Powered Trucks: Complete Fleet Guide delivers practical knowledge across eight essential areas: fuel cell electric truck technology, hydrogen fueling infrastructure, safety standards, the science of hydrogen storage and dispensing, federal funding opportunities through the $8 billion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, and real-world examples from corporate leaders like Ikea, DHL, Sysco, Maersk, and PepsiCo.
“Fleet managers need one trusted resource they can share with customers, supply chain partners, and executive teams,” said David Park, Director of Industry Affairs at H2FCP. “This guide delivers technical accuracy without complexity. Whether you're evaluating your first hydrogen truck or planning a fleet-wide transition, you'll find the foundation for confident decision-making that protects your investment and advances your sustainability goals.”
