The Hydrogen topic is picking up pace globally. There’s a lot happening and happening fast. The United States’ bipartisan infrastructure law came into effect last year, and the region saw a commitment of nine and a half billion dollars towards large-scale hydrogen infrastructure, with more federal funding being poured towards production programs for green hydrogen. Korea’s government has a big industrial push towards hydrogen with the country producing more fuel cell vehicles than anyone else. These new technologies mean that even the most experienced technicians and engineers will need to learn new skills for them to work with hydrogen both safely and efficiently.

Driven by the automotive industry’s ambition for large-scale decarbonisation and innovation, as well as government mandates, regulations and changes in policy, major commercial vehicle manufacturers are expected to make hydrogen fuel cell and hydrogen combustion engine vehicles part of their zero-emission vehicle R&D plan over the next five years.

However, there are limitations to the application of hydrogen, and it is not the technology. Lack of infrastructure (fuelling stations, transport and storage), uncertainty over total cost of ownership, and availability of hydrogen are major bottlenecks. Additionally, despite not being objectively more dangerous than any other fuel, there is still the perception that hydrogen poses an increased safety risk.

Taking a targeted, ungeneralised view to the topic, Automotive IQ’s Hydrogen Vehicles & Infrastructure 2025 conference is designed to deliver practical solutions to accelerate the development and application of hydrogen fuel cells and hydrogen combustion engines in heavy and light duty vehicles, including passenger vehicles, trucks and buses.

The three-day conference will deliver updates on government funding and incentive plans, outline plans from infrastructure developers on when fuelling stations will be built to achieve greenhouse targets by 2030/50, and include deep-dive training courses for your teams to work safely with hydrogen.

Application-focused case studies from companies manufacturing fuel cell, hydrogen ICE, and heavy-and-light duty vehicles will also be explored, as well as keynotes on understanding how engineering for hydrogen vehicles has improved, why hydrogen is a viable fuel, and what is needed in the future to make hydrogen vehicles a mass-produced product.
