In a pioneering effort to explore hydrogen’s potential in heavy vehicle transportation, the iMOVE project, in collaboration with Transport for NSW, ARRB, and Mov3ment, has concluded its comprehensive study.
The Hydrogen Powered Heavy Vehicle Demand and Infrastructure Assessment report presents key insights into the feasibility and challenges of integrating hydrogen fuel into Australia’s heavy vehicle sector.
Unpacking the Hydrogen Powered Heavy Vehicle Demand and Infrastructure Assessment
The recently released report marks a significant milestone in the Australian transport landscape, offering a detailed examination of hydrogen’s applicability as an alternative fuel. Central to the study is the evaluation of hydrogen’s economic, operational, and environmental implications for heavy vehicle fleets across New South Wales.
The iMOVE project was structured to analyze national and international best practices in hydrogen transport policies, technology options, and industry readiness. Drawing from case studies in New Zealand and Germany, the report provides critical comparisons and insights essential for strategic decision-making in Australia.
The report underscores the parallels between European advancements in hydrogen infrastructure and Australia’s nascent efforts. While Europe has made significant strides in incentivizing hydrogen adoption, Australia faces analogous challenges, including high costs, infrastructure readiness, and technological maturity.
