218. BRIEFS: The Future of Hydrogen-Powered Class 8 Vehicles

With all the hype around battery EVs, what role will hydrogen propulsion play in the future of sustainable transportation?

Listen in as Roberto Baldwin, Sustainability Editor, SAE Sustainable Mobility Solutions, sits down with Steve Mathison, Vice President and Hydrogen Technologies Fellow at FirstElement Fuel and sponsor of SAE Standard J2601/5 to discuss why large trucks, particularly Class 8, are ideal for hydrogen propulsion—and what we can expect from hydrogen-powered medium and heavy-duty vehicles over the next decade.  .
