Despite the Climate Change Committee's skepticism about the role of hydrogen in road transport, car manufacturers BMW and Toyota argue that hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are essential for decarbonization. David Wong from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders highlighted the complementary nature of hydrogen vehicles to battery-electric ones. He emphasized the need for a hydrogen refilling infrastructure in the UK and a revamp of the car tax system to support zero-emission vehicles. BMW plans to launch its hydrogen fuel-cell-powered model in 2028, contingent on infrastructure development. Meanwhile, Toyota aims to provide customers with choices through the Toyota Mirai and Hyundai Nexo. Both companies stress the need for technological openness and a multi-pathway approach to combat carbon emissions. The consensus at the 'Hydrogen Summit' was that hydrogen and battery-electric vehicles can work together to achieve Net Zero emissions, with hydrogen offering benefits like quick refueling and weather resilience. The industry's push for hydrogen as a viable solution underscores the importance of offering diverse options for sustainable transportation.
