H2 infrastructure for commercial vehicles in long-distance transport. Study for e-mobilBWW

In a joint study, the German Aerospace Centre (DLR) and the company Ludwig-Bölkow-Systemtechnik (LBST) have investigated the development status and prospects for the construction of hydrogen filling stations.

The focus was on long-distance lorry traffic. The study "H2 infrastructure for commercial vehicles in long-distance transport" presents technologies and measures for supplying lorries with hydrogen over long distances in Germany and abroad.
