For many drivers, the hydrogen vehicle is one of the great hopes of the energy transition: it drives quietly, can be refueled quickly, and only water vapor comes out of the exhaust.
In fact, there will soon be more hydrogen-powered cars on Germany's roads.
However, not in the form of sedans or SUVs for private individuals, but as heavy trucks.
The world's largest truck manufacturer, Daimler Trucks, promises to deliver hydrogen trucks to its first customers in 2023. The Daimler truck could be a first step on the way to the climate-neutral hydrogen economy that politicians want. WELT knows how things can go on afterwards.
