USCAR has published a whitepaper establishing the need for an H2 station network that is not limited to a vehicle class or application but rather highly compatible, flexible, and reliable to maximize utilization for stations and vehicles. The whitepaper aims to establish a common interest by USCAR automakers to accelerate the development of hydrogen refueling stations for medium-duty (MD) fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV) with 10-35 kg of onboard hydrogen storage.
The content of this whitepaper provides the background of the need, a summary of requirements, and proposed development needs. As recognized by the auto industry, fuel cell electric vehicles offer significant advantages in medium-duty applications over other zero-emission and alternative fuel vehicles, including payload, fueling time, uptime, and total cost of ownership.
