picture Radically New Marine Propulsion

Environmentalists have had the maritime sector in their sights for some time. Cruise liners in particular emit large amounts of pollutants on route to the world’s natural – sometimes seemingly untouched – landscapes, or their diesel generators are running to power onboard systems while they are docked. However, now that shipping companies are switching to … Read more

picture Certifiably Complicated

One thing that became apparent at the IAA Commercial
Vehicles 2018 was that the issue of hydrogen tank approval had yet to be resolved. Though it had already been said years ago
that tanks “must only get approved,” the process is taking
much longer than expected. At present, there are few 700-bar
type IV units … Read

picture Economy Ministry Draws Up National Hydrogen Strategy

At least once a year, the German Hydrogen and Fuel Cell
Association, better known as the DWV, organizes a so-called
parliamentary evening in Berlin. Last year, on Nov. 8, 2018,
the event took place in the Embassy of the Czech Republic. A
roll call vote prevented most members of the German Bundestag
from attending. Still, … Read more

picture H2BX Sees Opportunities in Hydrogen

Eleven founding members set up H2BX – Hydrogen for Bremerhaven Region as recently as two years ago. At the first meeting, the number had already climbed to 25, while there were more than 60 last November. The subsequent information event on “Hydrogen Technology in Practice – Prospects for Bremerhaven” attracted more than 150 attendees. … Read

picture Outline of a European Hydrogen Strategy

Hydrogen has finally entered the halls of power: Last September, the gas, as well as storage, was a key topic at the meeting of the EU countries’ energy ministers in Linz. Austria, which, at the time, held the presidency of the EU Council, had put the creation of a Hydrogen Initiative on the agenda, inviting … Read more

picture All Set for Nicolas Hulot’s Hydrogen Road Map

In 2013, France’s government began cooperating with the national Afhypac association on holding Journées Hydrogène dans les Territoires, that is, Hydrogen Days in the Regions, each year in another one of them. Last September, it was Occitanie’s turn to invite people to Toulouse. … Read

picture Who Is First to Abandon ICEs?

Manufacturers of gasoline and, especially, diesel vehicles are under growing pressure to come up with new options. At the latest since the German transportation minister, Andreas Scheuer, stated in mid-September 2018 that software updates alone would not be enough to fix diesel emissions, the benefits of diesel models have been declining by the hour. Meanwhile, … Read more

picture A Car That’ll Make You Smile

Today, few car dealers can give consumers comprehensive answers about electric vehicles. Regardless of the model, an EV is still a curiosity in most showrooms. Either there is none on display or a single one is standing in a faraway corner. On top of this, fuel cell cars are mostly unavailable simply because there are … Read more

picture Potsdam Meets 50-Station Target

The German transportation minister, Andreas Scheuer, was not among those who took a trip to Potsdam, in the state of Brandenburg, to see the opening of the country’s 50th hydrogen fueling station on Sept. 7, 2018. His absence, however, did little to stop those who came from celebrating this particular milestone. The event attracted over … Read more

picture Gaps Are Closing

On Sept. 18, 2018, shortly after the hydrogen fueling station in Potsdam was started up (see Potsdam Meets 50-Station Target), the 51st one in Germany, and first in Saxony state, went into operation in Dresden. It is located on Wiener Strasse, at a Total gas station in an easily accessible spot in the midst of … Read more

picture Hydrogen Test Facility in Kleinburgwedel

JA-Gastechnology, based in the German state of Lower Saxony, is planning to open a hydrogen testing lab this spring. The company’s founder, Jens Asmuth, decided it was time to branch out beyond the core business of calibrating emissions testing equipment and focus more on alternative fuel engines. Construction started last summer. It was said that … Read more

picture Electric Workhorses, Up Close

Never before had a commercial vehicle show featured as many electric models as the 2018 edition of the IAA Commercial Vehicles, which took place from Sept. 20 to 27 in Hanover, Germany. Most exhibitors that had a booth at the event displayed battery-electric or, at the very least, hybrid trucks or buses. Vehicles powered by … Read more

picture The Diesel Is Dead – Long Live the EV

Few expected something to be different after the change at the top of the German transportation ministry. The replacement of Alexander Dobrindt by Andreas Scheuer didn’t usher in a new era at the department. It is true that Scheuer is four years younger than his predecessor. But both belong to the same political party, and … Read more
