Abstract
WHAT ARE DUAL FUEL VEHICLES (DFVS)?
•Heavy vehicles, utilize a mix of (Diesel-H2).
•Operate on 100% diesel if no H2 is available.
WHY DECARBONISE HEAVY TRANSPORT?
•Heavy transport makes up less than 8% of the global fleet but contributes over 35% of road transport emissions.
• In New Zealand, it represents 4% of the fleet but accounts for 25% of road transport GHG emissions.
CHALLENGES IN DECARBONISATION:
•High energy demands, long vehicle lifespans.
•Battery electric vehicles: High costs, limited range, heavy payload reductions, and long charging times.
•Hydrogen vehicles: High costs, immature technology, and insufficient refueling infrastructure.
