UK Networking Grant – Adoption of Fuel Cells and Batteries in Heavy-duty Freight Transport
Description
The project aims to identify potential barriers to the adoption of fuel cells and battery technologies in heavy-duty freight transport. By engaging with key stakeholders – including government bodies and industry lobbies, local logistics companies, and leading researchers – the project seeks to uncover patterns and challenges that may impact the future implementation of these technologies. Through a series of three workshops, expert interviews, and collaborative research, the network will provide insights to guide stakeholders and policymakers in advancing the global shift towards greener heavy-duty transport solutions.
