Trial of Hydrogen Fuel Cell Heavy Vehicles
Background
The NET Fund has introduced a new subsidy scheme for the trial of hydrogen fuel cell (HFC) heavy vehicles to promote the transformation to green transport. The scheme subsidises the costs associated with the trial projects such as the procurement of HFC vehicles, hydrogen fuel expenses and refilling facilities.
Data will be collected during the trial to evaluate the operational performance of HFC heavy vehicles as compared with its conventional counterpart or electric vehicles in local applications, to accumulate testing data and experience, and to guide Hong Kong towards the target of zero vehicle emissions by 2050 along the direction of the Strategy of Hydrogen Development in Hong Kong.
Further information regarding the Strategy of Hydrogen Development in Hong Kong, please visit the thematic page for Inter-departmental Working Group on Using Hydrogen as Fuel.
