Technological maturity level and market introduction timeline of zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles

While the phasing-in of battery-electric passenger cars and buses speeds up in the Norwegian market, the same does not apply to vans and trucks. This is due to cost barriers, but also that the availability of this type of vehicles is either inadequate or non-existent in today’s commercial market. Hydrogen and fuel-cell technology, has an even more immature market, but for these vehicles, the availability is also better for passenger cars and buses than for vans and trucks. This document is a review of the technological maturity level and expected market introduction for vans, buses and lorries with zero emission technology, as well as related infrastructure for filling and charging.
