While EVs are gaining most of the attention for carbon-neutral technology at CES 2024, hydrogen energy has snuck its way back into the conversation thanks to two automotive giants.

LAS VEGAS — Officials from Hyundai and the state of Georgia touted plans on Jan. 8 for hydrogen-powered trucks to supply the automaker’s EV factory under construction near the Port of Savannah.

WASHINGTON — A guiding document outlining issues deemed highly important across transportation modes was unveiled for the annual meeting of the Transportation Research Board.

LAS VEGAS — Nikola Corp. showcased the range and maneuverability of its hydrogen fuel cell electric truck Jan. 7 during a test ride at CES 2024.

Federal funding for hydrogen fuel hubs and competition for economic development projects were central themes among state governments in 2023.

U.S. automakers achieved a record average of 26 miles per gallon for vehicles made in the 2022 model year, but still fell short of current fuel standards, according to EPA data on Dec. 20.

Progress in 2023 for battery-electric trucks was slower than expected, with demand underwhelming and improvements needed for the underlying infrastructure, some OEM executives say.

California’s race to have near-total-zero-emission passenger vehicles and heavy trucks will result in a greater need for electricity at higher prices, an ATRI report says.

Trucking companies are being encouraged by the Electric Power Research Institute to seek its help preparing for the electrification of heavy trucks.

Nikola Corp. founder Trevor Milton was ordered to spend four years behind bars for lying to shareholders about the electric truck maker’s progress.
