Hylane changes course: From now on electric cars on offer!
Deutschland - Hylane, a representative of hydrogen mobility in Germany, has made an important decision. The company is now also offering battery -electric vehicles. This measure is followed by customer inquiries for pure battery vehicles that have recently increased. The switch to battery -electric drives is favored by the high costs for hydrogen drives, which turn out to be economically unattractive. In addition, the drop in the price of vehicle batteries has had a significant influence on this decision in recent years, since it is becoming increasingly difficult to close the financial gap between hydrogen and battery vehicles without subsidies. This reports Oekonews .
The Federal Government has recognized the importance of hydrogen technologies in the mobility sector and the Ministry of Digital and Transport promotes alternative drive techniques. Hydrogen and fuel cells are considered key technologies for the electrification of transport drives, especially for long distances and commercial vehicles. This emphasizes the role of hydrogen in traffic, especially for buses, trains and shipping and air traffic. Fuel cells in particular can play an important role in the car segment, especially for the upper middle class vehicles and upper class, such as bmv.de reported.
funding programs and sustainability
The federal government has supported hydrogen technologies since 2007 as part of the national innovation program hydrogen and fuel cell technology (NIP). Since then, this program has provided significant sums for technology promotion, including 1.4 billion euros to promote various demonstration projects. With the Nip II connection program, which runs from 2016 to 2026, the path to the market maturity of hydrogen mobility continues. A funding volume of almost 250 million euros is planned to establish the competitiveness of hydrogen and fuel cell technology in the traffic sector.
The funding offer includes various guidelines such as the development and procurement of hydrogen technologies for various modes of transport and hydrogen production from renewable energies. In addition, the aim is to integrate hydrogen into the general fuel portfolio, which should ensure the future of mobility.
future prospects and challenges
In the long term, the federal government pursues the goal of supplying Germany with green hydrogen. This includes a amendment to the national hydrogen strategy in July 2023, which provides for a clear focus on the promotion of green hydrogen. While direct financial support for hydrogen production is limited to green hydrogen, the use of other types of hydrogen is also accepted for the transition period.commercial vehicle manufacturers are increasingly relying on both battery-electrical and hydrogen-based mobility to reach CO₂ targets in road traffic. The hydrogen drive offers advantages such as large tracks during short tank times, which makes it attractive, especially in heavy goods traffic and in regions with inadequate charging infrastructure. The future of mobility therefore seems to be a combination of different technologies, with hydrogen playing a decisive role, as the vda
