Flexible, long-range and zero-emission. At the time when electro-mobility presents as the way forward for decarbonisation of transport, fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV) appear as one of the most innovative and practical solutions. Most renowned car manufacturers are committing towards this technology and play a major role in shifting the market from petrol and diesel to greener, more sustainable fuels. While the fuel cell and hydrogen sector has achieved a lot by working together and bringing this technology to the point of market readiness, efforts are still needed to grow the refuelling network and increase availability of vehicles in Europe. In that respect, policymakers and funding bodies such as the FCH JU can play a strategic role by helping setting the needed framework for pushing ahead with deployment.  

Tackling most of these essential aspects, the "Hydrogen for Clean Transport" Conference will offer a unique occasion to learn about the main achievements taking place in Europe but also to understand what are the remaining barriers facing the technology deployment.

Seven major vehicle manufacturers (Audi, BMW, Daimler, Honda, Hyundai, Toyota, and Symbio) will gather in the frame of this conference to confirm their engagement towards continuing with coordinated deployment in Europe.

The event will be twofold, putting FCH JU projects HyFIVE and H2ME, funded under the European Union FP7 and H2020 programmes,  at the core of its agenda.
