PSR Analysis: With the Zero Emissions target and the need for efficient fuel that allow short time for refueling or recharging, Hydrogen looks promising. It can be either used as a source for electricity with the Fuel Cells or burned in the engine combined with other fuel or alone, as in this initiative. It is still preliminary and depending on the results, it may be the salvation for many companies in the ICE supply chain. PSR
