| 摘要： | The major German trade show IAA, whose developments are summarised starting p22, is usually seen as indicating the future direction of the industry, though when exactly those developments will reach these right-hand drive shores is a moot point. Even though decarbonisation was the dominant theme, internal combustion engines were a hot ticket. Not for diesel, but an altogether lighter fuel: hydrogen. No wonder. Hydrogen engines offer the industry a way to maintain intact 150 years of internal combustion development, production and operational expertise - while providing a fuel that is sufficiently carbon-zero to satisfy public-sector decarbonisation requirements. In Europe, VECTO regulations threaten truck suppliers with heavy penalties unless they reduce the overall carbon emissions from the balance of products sold. In the UK, non zero-carbon HGVs of all sizes will be banned for sale after 2040. The key isn't that hydrogen is greener overall, but that it is zero-carbon in use. (Its carbon profile happens to be the reverse of hydrocarbon fuels, whether fossil or bio-derived, which emit most of their carbon when they are burned.) |
