Fuel costs high for heavy duty vehicles

by Hydrogen Power on March 17, 2005

Concern is rising over fuel cost and availability in the heavy duty vehicle industry. Alternative fuels, including hydrogen, are expected to have an increasing role displacing the dominance of diesel.

industry experts expect major changes in the transportation fuels mix. The results closely match projections from previous year’s surveys, and projected that alternatives to diesel will erode diesel’s market dominance in the heavy-duty vehicle industry over the next decade and a half. According to survey respondents, by 2020 diesel could lose up to 35 percent of the new heavy-duty vehicle market to other fuels and technologies, including hybrids, natural gas, hydrogen and diesel alternatives.
