Hydrogen Vehicle Systems – HVS identifies five-point plan to accelerate the hydrogen heavy goods vehicle transition.
HVS (Hydrogen Vehicle Systems), an innovator in zero-emission commercial vehicles, has unveiled a five-point plan outlining the key steps required to realise the widespread adoption of hydrogen-powered HGVs and a call to action to drive the transition to a hydrogen economy.
HVS has identified and is calling for clarity on detailed timescales, supported by policy incentives to encourage early adoption of vehicles. This includes changes to legislation, green hydrogen production subsidies and commitments to infrastructure development, as well as support for workforce training.
HVS’ roadmap aims to propel the industry forward, enabling more rapid decarbonisation of the goods delivery sector, and helping the UK to meet its commitment to achieving net-zero targets.

Jawad Khursheed, Chief Executive Officer said:
HVS’ hydrogen technology holds a major key in supporting governmental emissions reduction targets, both here in the UK and in Europe, through the decarbonisation of the heavy goods sector.
“However, change in this market is not happening quickly enough – which is why, today, we are unveiling this five-point plan, outlining a roadmap that will accelerate the transition to hydrogen HGV fleets.”
“This industry desperately needs clarity from the UK government on incentives to encourage the early adoption of hydrogen HGVs, alongside commitments to support the development of new H2 technology, green hydrogen infrastructure and revisions to regulations.”
“HGVs are the second largest contributors to UK transport emissions. Whilst they make up just 1.5% of all vehicles on our roads, they contribute a disproportionate 19% of all vehicle emissions. With their numbers increasing, their emissions are likely to increase. Our roadmap shows how the haulage industry can seamlessly move from fossil-fuelled fleets to green hydrogen HGVs, enabling the UK to remain competitive globally and ensuring climate change goals are met.”
Highlights:
- HVS is revolutionising the heavy goods vehicle sector with its new hydrogen fuel-cell HGV
- But with more clarity needed over policy, regulatory timescales, government funding support and infrastructure rollout, both vehicle manufacturers and fleet operators face significant challenges
- HVS today set outs a comprehensive plan focusing on five key areas to support the potential of hydrogen-powered HGVs and drive faster decarbonisation in this sector we all depend on
- HVS’ plan outlines a roadmap enabling the UK to maintain its lead and remain competitive in this crucial global market, with an overarching mission to support climate targets
