Rising traffic volumes in road freight transport are causing CO2 emissions in this segment to rise continuously - despite advances in consumption and exhaust technology. The need to develop alternatives to fossil fuels is therefore particularly great in heavy-duty transport.
The H2GO project bundles the activities of 19 Fraunhofer institutes with the aim of significantly reducing CO2 emissions in heavy-duty mobility. The focus is on the development and rollout of industrial technologies for the economical production of fuel cells, primarily for road-based heavy-duty transport.
