About
In order to deliver on commitments to the Paris Agreement and the EU Green Deal, a shift to electric transport is inevitable, both on and off-road. Whilst the value of battery-powered off-highway vehicles is well known, currently batteries are only suitable for smaller machines as they are unable to meet the power demands of heavier vehicles. This is where hydrogen as a fossil-free power source will be key: and now insight and experience from Volvo Construction Equipment can help you address all the key issues.

During this round table discussion, the panellists will consider the importance of hydrogen in off-road development, the crucial role relationships with stakeholders will play, and what you will need to know when moving to hydrogen.

KEY POINT DELEGATES WILL LEARN…

• How a fuel cell system works and what are its best off-road applications
• Where investment in hydrogen fuel cell technology should sit within the industry’s wider commitment to electromobility
• How hydrogen fuel cell technology will play a key part in achieving ambitious climate change goals
• Why partnerships – with policymakers, infrastructure planners and other industry innovators – will be vital in helping the off-highway industry accelerate the commercialisation of hydrogen fuel cell solutions
