DENVER — The Environmental Protection Agency in 2021 reported that transportation generated the largest share of greenhouse gas emissions by economic sector. The majority of fuel used for transportation is petroleum-based.New Day Hydrogen was created during the COVID-19 pandemic, and hopes to help neighborhoods that have been historically hurt by pollution.
"A key component of our model — which is to meet these fleet owners at that very early, incremental stage — is help them with, effectively, a pilot operation on converting their fleet to zero emissions, and do so with a small commitment of only a few vehicles," said Terry."Then, over time, they can continue to take more of their vehicles and replace their legacy diesel vehicles with hydrogen electric vehicles.
Hydrogen electric vehicles are not as impacted by cold weather as battery electric vehicles, according to Terry. Fleets could have their own fueling stations on site, if desired.
