New TravelCenters of America Survey Finds that Trucking Fleets Plan to Invest in EV and Hydrogen Vehicles to Meet Decarbonization Goals;
Publish Date: 8/18/2022
“This white paper, the first in a series about the trucking industry’s transition to sustainable fuels and TA’s role in that process, identifies the key challenges the industry is facing and the support it will need from federal and state governments to be successful,” said Jon Pertchik, Chief Executive Officer of TravelCenters of America. “One of the key findings is that many companies are hesitant to fully commit to alternative energy vehicles until the technology and infrastructure have matured enough for them to maintain efficient operations during the transition period and beyond. With the current range of EV and hydrogen-powered heavy-duty trucks, fleet leaders want to see a substantial number of available fast-charging and/or refueling stations before making larger investments in new vehicles. TA plans to be a leader in providing EV charging stations and hydrogen refueling for trucks at its over 275 travel centers as the industry adopts these sustainable fuels.”

Hydrogen Reality Check #1: Hydrogen Is Not a Significant Warming Risk
Publish Date: 5/9/2022
The Myth
Recent reports have suggested that large-scale production of hydrogen could do more harm than good in the effort to reduce global warming.
The Reality
The climate benefit from a well-regulated clean hydrogen economy outweighs the impact of any emissions that hydrogen would add to our energy system, especially if we prioritize hydrogen produced from renewables-powered electricity.

FORVIA presents its expert solutions for commercial vehicles
Publish Date: 8/4/2022
On the FORVIA demo truck, Faurecia is proud to demonstrate its full system capabilities in hydrogen mobility for heavy-duty applications, with a full fuel cell powertrain that includes a complete hydrogen storage system, with 80 kg of gaseous hydrogen stored, and Symbio’ s 150kW fuel cell stack.
Alongside this main attraction, Faurecia is showcasing its Cryogenic Hydrogen Storage solution for the first time, highlighting the innovative capabilities of the company. Leveraging the higher energy density of liquid hydrogen, Faurecia has developed a compact storage solution that can store the same quantity of hydrogen with a volume reduced by 40%, thus enabling an easier vehicle integration and maximizing the quantity of hydrogen on-boarded. This system is particularly well suited to intensive usage and will enable a greater range of autonomy, reaching the 1,000 km milestone. This sub-cooled liquid hydrogen storage system is co-developed with Air Liquide.
Additionally, FORVIA will present its containerized storage solution, adapted for various industrials applications, including hydrogen transportation and distribution (refueling stations). By providing these lightweight and competitive solutions to the hydrogen ecosystems, such as the Zero Emission Valley in France, Faurecia reinforces its position as a key player in the hydrogen value chain and enabler of clean mobility.

H2One ST unit uses the sun as its energy source. It consists of a solar PV generation unit, hydrogen and water storage tanks, a water electrolysis unit, a storage battery unit, and a pure hydrogen fuel cell unit.
The plant gets its power supply from a solar generation of 20MW capacity and grid power. Power generated from solar energy is stored in the battery. When the need arises, water electrolysis takes place to produce hydrogen in a carbon-free setting. The hydrogen is then stored in a tank which delivers it to the fuel cells.
