| 摘要： | I really do believe that the whole of the automotive industry will see more change in the next decade than in the last 100 years.The current thinking anticipates vehicles powered by batteries for urban delivery and hydrogen fuel cells for the long distance or trunking operations but that could change over the next decade. As batteries become more efficient and energy density increases so will the range of the vehicles expand. I can see battery powered trucks migrating from urban to regional operations, creating a crossover point with hydrogen fuel cells beyond what we see currently. This is certainly viable when combined with a number of trailer manufacturers looking to fit battery powered trailer axles (e-axles) further increasing the range and capacity.Hydrogen fuel cell technology and the infrastructure to support it are undoubtedly further behind the curve than batteries but recent developments suggest we are now talking seriously about 'when' not 'if they enter the market. Perhaps one of the most significant moves is the announcement that Volvo Group and Daimler Trucks will collaborate to develop hydrogen fuel cells for all their truck brands. Two global players who have traditionally competed fiercely on nearly every continent are now partnering in the move to hydrogen! |
