Draft2:Million Mile Fuel Cell Truck
Template:Stub noticeMillion Mile Fuel Cell Truck (M2FCT) is a Department of Energy (DOE)-funded consortium formed by five primary national labs to overcome durability and efficiency challenges in PEMFCs for heavy-duty applications with an initial focus on long-haul trucks. The consortium coordinates National Laboratory activities related to fuel-cell efficiency and durability, provides technical expertise, and harmonizes activities with industrial developers across the Hydrogen Fuel Cell and Technology Office's HDV PEMFC portfolio, which is located in DOE's Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy, thus amplifying their impact.
DOE's role
DOE created the consortium and continues to lead it.
Mission/Objectives
Heavy-duty transportation is among the key sectors that are considered hard to decarbonize. Given the important role of freight transportation in the global economy, accelerating the zero-emission truck technologies will have a significant impact on eliminating transportation emissions, and improving the life quality and health of underserved communities, drivers, and transportation workers that are affected negatively by the air pollutions and carbon emissions arising from the movement of freights and goods along the transportation corridors, freight highways, and warehouses.
In the last few years, a growing number of international reports and roadmaps focusing on climate change, clean energy transition, and the transportation sector have identified decarbonizing heavy-duty transportation as an important objective toward net-zero emissions and recognized the unique role of hydrogen and fuel cells in realizing this goal.
