Hydrogen for heavy trucks is dead, says world’s 2nd-largest oil company

The world's second-largest oil company, Sinopec, has declared hydrogen-powered heavy trucks obsolete in favor of electric alternatives. This shift is driven by significant advancements in battery technology and the growing infrastructure for electric vehicle charging, which have eroded the benefits of hydrogen fuel. This move signals a major industry pivot towards sustainable, low-emission transportation solutions, potentially accelerating the global transition away from fossil fuels. The decision underscores the increasing viability of electric trucks, which could reshape the logistics and transportation sectors.
