THURSDAY, JANUARY 27 AT 12:00PM EASTERN. Hydrogen is fast emerging as a promising substitute for fossil fuels, as truck OEMs, engine manufacturers, and suppliers accelerate the development and launch of hydrogen-fueled commercial vehicles. While fuel cells tend to dominate the discussion, hydrogen combustion engines also are advancing to proof-of-concept testing on their path to production. Speakers in this 60-minute Webinar discuss the latest advancements and address the benefits and challenges to both hydrogen avenues, including infrastructure build-out, application suitability, cost, and technical hurdles to be resolved. An audience Q&A follows the technical presentation.
