Nel, dynaCERT, Daimler Truck – Hydrogen, Electricity and Diesel Aim to Reduce Emissions in Heavy-Duty Transport
The decarbonisation of trucks is progressing at different speeds. Daimler Truck sold a total of 91,260 units in the 3rd quarter of 2026, of which only 1,207 were battery-electric. The transition is therefore progressing more slowly than sales are growing. Hydrogen propulsion first requires low-cost hydrogen production. Meanwhile, fleet operators are looking for ways to make existing diesel engines cleaner today to improve their carbon footprint. Ultimately, manufacturers must deliver vehicles that perform in everyday use. If all this can be brought together, it could give hydrogen a long-term boost. We therefore take a closer look at Nel, dynaCERT and Daimler Truck.
