Mr. Martin Schuermann, President and CEO of Vision explains, "Vision has built a very functional business model for local and regional delivery zero emission heavy duty big rig trucks with a duty cycle of up to 200 miles over an eight hour shift. To build a business model for line haul, coast-to-coast, zero emission big rig trucking -- there are three major obstacles to overcome. Hydrnol is the solution to two of those obstacles." The first obstacle is getting a meaningful amount of hydrogen on board the truck. Current commercially viable technologies limit that amount to approximately 40 KG of compressed hydrogen, which effectively limits the range to a maximum of 400 miles in drayage applications. Hydrnol solves this problem by allowing Vision's trucks to carry 110 KG of hydrogen in an easy to handle liquid format, thereby providing up to 1,100 miles in drayage application...
