The movement of freight and goods from the commercial ports to consumers represents a vital component of US transportation infrastructure and the US economy. Seaports and distribution networks are economic drivers for jobs and development, and entry points for goods used throughout the country. They also cause significant local air and greenhouse gas emissions, and the medium- and heavy-duty truck fleets that move goods from ports cause problems well beyond the boundaries of the ports. Join the California Hydrogen Business Council in a half-day workshop to build awareness and hear from a diverse group of panelists on the ability of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies to enable commercial customers to meet sustainability and regulatory compliance objectives, address the technical and non-technical challenges with transitioning hydrogen and fuel cells into fleets, and understand the key drivers of substantive economic and operational benefits. At the workshop, fleet operators and medium- and heavy-duty OEMs will present, followed by discussion and presentations from hydrogen technology providers on the status of freight demonstrations, future visions, and lessons learned from other fuel cell products that have reached commercialization.
