A recent study 'The Road Ahead', surveyed 300 public transport decisionmakers across Europe, revealing significant concerns about grid capacity to support battery and hydrogen fleets. While 93% expressed these concerns, 89% pointed to hydrogen's potential in overcoming battery limitations. Despite growth in hydrogen bus registrations, they only comprise 4.6% of the zero-emission bus market. Challenges include safe hydrogen storage, identified as a major barrier by 76% of UK respondents. The sector anticipates a shift towards hydrogen despite skepticism around the dominance of electric vehicles in the transition to greener transport.
93% of European public transport decisionmakers express capacity concerns for their grid connections as the sector transitions to battery electric and hydrogen-powered fleets.
The survey indicates a strong belief in hydrogen's potential benefits, with 89% of participants believing it can overcome battery limitations like weight and range.
Despite challenges, 61% of respondents plan to invest in hydrogen vehicles in the next two years as they expect to grow their hydrogen fleets over the next decade.
The report highlights concerns about the safe storage of hydrogen for large-scale adoption, with 76% of UK respondents identifying it as a significant barrier.
