Top Facts
Based on HVS' conservative sales projections, by 2030 the new UK fleet of hydrogen HGVs displacing diesel vehicles could prevent more CO2 and noxious air emissions than the reported annual emissions of Heathrow airport.
Green hydrogen is an infinitely renewable fuel. It is made using renewable electricity to split water (H2O) into hydrogen and oxygen. In the fuel cell, hydrogen recombines with oxygen from the air to produce heat, power and water.
Fuel Cells were invented in the UK by a Welsh scientist Sir William Grove in 1839.
The UK is home to leading international hydrogen production, supply and storage industries, and HVS is an emerging OEM.
