Without a doubt, battery-electric powertrains are in the lead in the battle to decarbonise on-road cars. However, many have suggested that fuel cell vehicles, especially long-haul trucks, are the zero-emission solution for long-range applications because of their superior energy density compared to today's Li-ion battery systems, allowing them to deliver a greater range for the same system weight. Refueling times are also considerably faster than battery charging.
