Bills to support hydrogen fuel infrastructure buildout reintroduced
Summary
Priority is given to projects that will maximize emissions reductions to deliver the greatest environmental benefits. By lowering cost barriers and first-mover risks, the Senators said the package enables projects and partnerships that will move the United States closer to meeting the demands of a robust hydrogen economy. The legislation would lower cost barriers and reduce risk for fleet operators interested in adopting hydrogen fuel cell vehicles by providing data and benchmarks, thereby incentivizing private investment and accelerating demonstration and deployment, the Senators said. In addition, the parallel adoption of vehicles and fueling stations will ensure their immediate utilization in the hydrogen economy. Navistar has issued two recalls affecting more than 32,000 International vehicles due to issues with the engine control module (ECM) and body control module (BCM), according to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration documents.
