The truck manufacturing industry globally has long shown leadership and initiative in regards to addressing the issue of reducing carbon emissions. Euro 5 and Euro 6 compliant trucks are standard across many leading brands and the industry is continuing to make significant advances in technologies to ensure the trucking industry does its part to reduce carbon emissions.
The world is moving quickly toward a low carbon future and while Australia is considered a slow adopter of electric cars, the move to electric trucks is underway internationally. Hino has launched an electric-diesel hybrid in Australia in its extremely popular 300 Series. From 2021 Volvo Trucks is offering a complete heavy duty range with electric drivelines in Europe. No doubt Australia will follow the global trend but some observers have commented that the lack of infrastructure to support EVs may be hampering take-up and calls have been made on Government for support and action.
But even before the transition to EVs has reached any great momentum, attention is turning to hydrogen powered trucks. Leading engine manufacturer Cummins has already announces its intention to become a ‘hydrogen powerhouse.’ Hydrogen technologies including electrolyzers are tipped to be an increasingly more significant part of the business in coming years.
In a recent major announcement, a number of massive European companies have formed an alliance to push for a large-scale rollout of hydrogen powered trucks in Europe. The H2Accellerate alliance is comprised of Daimler Trucks, Iveco, Volvo and others and has far reaching plans for charging infrastructure and hydrogen fuel cell truck production targets.
Closer to home, Australian company Globo Hydrogen Power offers truck owners a fuel enhancement system which upgrades traditional powered engines into hydrogen hybrids.
As the transition takes place, certain truck operators might already be contemplating the potential effects of these upcoming technologies on truck loans. Do truck loans vary in terms of cost and conditions for these novel technological vehicles?
