Hiringa, with partners fuel supplier Waitomo Group and Australasia’s largest heavy vehicle fleet owner TR Group, on Tuesday opened three green hydrogen stations, with a fourth under way, within the North Island’s economic “golden triangle” of freight movement.

How does the weight of fuel cells compare to batteries?

[-] Rangelus@lemmy.nz 2 points 4 months ago

I can't find the exact figures, as it depends on battery range and battery tech. One study I've seen found a battery truck would weigh over 5000kg more than a hydrogen-electric version.

I've also seen figures of double the weight for a Li-Ion battery EV compared to HEV at ranges above 300 miles.
