Samenvatting:
Diesel vehicles contribute significantly to airborne emission. Vehiclesdriven by fuel cells produce no emission during operation and few emission
occurs during the production of hydrogen and during refuelling. Therefore,
fuel cell vehicles can contribute to the reduction of environmental impacts
due to the transport of people and goods. This study discusses the possible
contribution of fuel cell vehicles in reducing the environmental impacts from
freight transport by trucks or vans and passenger transport by buses. This
contribution depends on developments in fuel cell vehicles and in alternative
technologies. Alternative technologies considered in this study are improved
diesel vehicles, hybrid vehicles and vehicles using natural gas. The study
focuses on the next 10 years. lt is concluded that for the next 10 years,
NOx emission reductions by improved diesel technology and use of LPG and CNG
will be more cost effective than use of hydrogen fuelled fuel cell vehicles.
On the somewhat longer term, fuel cell trucks and buses will be able to
contribute to NOx emission reductions for costs comparable to those related
to the reduction of NOx emissions by improved diesel vehicles. During the
next 10 years, a decrease of the hydrogen price by 50% and a decrease of the
fuel cell system costs for buses by 30% are required to be able to compete
with vehicles on LPG. However, through the introduction of fuel cell vehicles
far lower NOx emissions and noise levels can be achieved than by the
alternative technologies. Only by using hybrid trucks and buses can
comparable emissions and noise reductions be achieved. By the year 2010, the
price of hybrid buses and fuel cell buses are expected to be more or less
equal. 23 refs.
