In the Netherlands, hauliers are signing up for a test in which hydrogen-powered lorries will benefit from subsidies.
According to the announcement by the Dutch transport minister, Camiel Eurlings, a budget of 5 million euros has been earmarked to aid the success of this initiative.
This sum is not just for trucks though, as the project also covers cars, buses and other vehicles.

According to the Dutch research institute TNO-Delft, Euro 5 SCR trucks (i.e. with AdBlue) emit more nitrogen dioxide when in the urban environment.
TNO-Delft has reached this conclusion on the basis of tests conducted in both the urban and motorway settings.
The organisation also points out that the catalytic converter would only deliver its optimum efficiency from a speed of 80 km/h. So no problem on the motorway, then.
