Heavy-duty transport hydrogen solutions
Shell is helping to decarbonise heavy-duty transport with scalable hydrogen solutions, offering practical pathways for fleets to reduce emissions while staying on the move.
Hydrogen can play a vital role in decarbonising long-haul, heavy-duty transport – one of the most challenging sectors to electrify. With only water vapour as exhaust, hydrogen fuel-cell trucks offer a practical, zero-emissions solution for longer distances and heavier freight. Shell is investing in the development of hydrogen infrastructure across key global corridors, partnering with vehicle manufacturers and fleet operators to enable commercial deployment. As production scales and supportive policies develop, hydrogen has the potential to offer flexible, low-carbon fuel alternatives that help reduce emissions while keeping supply chains moving efficiently and reliably.
California H2 Stations
In collaboration with Toyota, Kenworth and the Port of Los Angeles, we have built three hydrogen refuelling stations for heavy-duty trucks in California. Together, they form the state’s first hydrogen truck corridor – helping to reduce emissions along critical freight routes that connect the Port of Los Angeles with major warehouse complexes inland. In 2025, these stations completed more than 2,500 fueling transactions, dispensing more than 88,000 kg of hydrogen.
H2 Mobility
Shell is a founding member of the H2 Mobility joint venture, developing and operating a national network of hydrogen fuelling stations in Germany. Together with Daimler Truck, Air Liquide and TotalEnergies, we're helping to build hydrogen infrastructure across the country for transport, supporting the energy transition and enabling lower-emission logistics.
