Fuel-Cell Trucks Need Corridor Density, Not Scattered Pilot Stations
Summary
OEM demo trucks look ready. Hauliers ask for two things: reliable fills every 300–400 km and molecules that stay cheaper than diesel on contracted lanes.
A single ribbon-cut station does not make a freight network. Fuel-cell trucks fail commercially when the next fill is a hope, not a schedule. This coverage centres on fuel cell truck corridors.
Corridor readiness signals
- Spacing — Practical fills every 300–400 km on the lane that matters.
- Uptime SLAs — A closed compressor stranding a fleet kills trust for months.
- Price transparency — Spot diesel comparisons must be published, not whispered.
“One hydrogen station is a photo. Ten on a corridor are a product.”
GreenShift takeaway
Prioritise dense, contracted freight corridors over scattershot municipal pilots if FCEV trucks are meant to scale.
