The advantages to the traditional lead-acid batteries, LP Gas or Diesel are obvious and very clear. Nevertheless, universities and automotive companies are still researching to improve performance of the technology. While with a fleet of more than 20 vehicles the calculations for a company definitely suggest hydrogen driven trucks, for smaller units the costs may still overweigh the bonuses of clean technology.
Here is a list with the 6 biggest advantages of H2 and fuel cells
- Fuel Cells - Refilling within three minutes. Batteries need to be charged overnight
- Lower Costs - Hydrogen prices are falling. No time-consuming battery changes
- Safe Handling - Healthier since no heavy batteries to lift or contact with acid
- Longer Lifespan - average service life of 10 000 operating hours
- Space Efficiency - No charging stations, no battery rooms
- Environmentally Friendly - Water vapour and heat. Zero Carbon with Green Hydrogen
Fuel Cells make a difference in the life of people
We all play many roles. We are family members, neighbors, colleagues etc. Last, but not least we are customers and sensitive, when it comes to costs and environmental issues. Companies have a great plus in customer relationships when they use fuel cells for their business.
