German commercial vehicle manufacturer Daimler Truck and the Japanese industrial group Kawasaki Heavy Industries have signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the aim of design the entire hydrogen supply chain liquid, in particular as a fuel for the road haulage. On the part of the German company, the agreement represents the pursuit of one of two strategies to Decarbonising Road Transport: A Vehicle Development Phase powered by hydrogen and the other by electric vehicles. To this end, Daimler Truck recently signed an agreement to evaluate the Possibility of activating supplies of green liquid hydrogen from Abu Dhabi to Europe by 2030. In addition, Daimler Truck has started experimenting with the use of liquid hydrogen in the road transport using it to power a prototype Mercedes-Benz GenH2 which made a journey of 1,047 kilometers in Germany, simulating real operating conditions, with a single full tank of liquid hydrogen.

Highlighting the commitment that the Japanese group is dedicating the development of opportunities for the use of hydrogen liquid as fuel, the president of Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Yoshinori Kanehana, pointed out that "in the context of the European hydrogen market, which has the highest demand world-wide, Germany's efforts are truly and Daimler Truck is driving ahead with the development of high-performance trucks. Next-generation hydrogen-powered fuel cells liquefied, with the aim of being a pioneer in the market liquefied hydrogen'.
