This abstract presents a concise analysis of the modularity aspects associated with the 40-ton fuel-cell-powered long-haul truck. The objective of this study is to investigate the potential benefits and challenges of modular design in fuel cell-powered heavy-duty vehicles. The integration of fuel cell technology in heavy-duty trucks offers promising potential for decarbonizing the transportation sector and reducing dependence on fossil fuels. However, achieving efficient and cost-effective deployment of fuel cell-powered long-haul trucks require careful consideration of modularity aspects. This study examines the key modularity aspects specific to a 40-ton truck with a full fuel cell-driven propulsion system. The analysis encompasses various components, including the polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell modules, hydrogen storage tanks, and battery system. Outlined high-level requirements, presented challenges, suggested strategies, and envisaged future directions are pinpointed as the principal outputs of this paper, establishing a coherent framework and pragmatic insights for fortifying the modularity and standardization in electric freight transport systems. The discoveries underscore the merits of a modular design in its scalability and adaptability, offering capabilities to modulate the power output of the fuel cell system and the hydrogen storage capacity, thus customizing the truck’s performance to adhere to particular operational demands, while also promoting simplified maintenance and component substitution, culminating in reduced downtime and elevated availability.

This abstract presents a concise analysis of the modularity aspects associated with the 40-ton fuel-cell-powered long-haul truck. The objective of this study is to investigate the potential benefits and challenges of modular design in fuel cell-powered heavy-duty vehicles. The integration of fuel cell technology in heavy-duty trucks offers promising potential for decarbonizing the transportation sector and reducing dependence on fossil fuels. However, achieving efficient and cost-effective deployment of fuel cell-powered long-haul trucks require careful consideration of modularity aspects. This study examines the key modularity aspects specific to a 40-ton truck with a full fuel cell-driven propulsion system. The analysis encompasses various components, including the polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell modules, hydrogen storage tanks, and battery system. Outlined high-level requirements, presented challenges, suggested strategies, and envisaged future directions are pinpointed as the principal outputs of this paper, establishing a coherent framework and pragmatic insights for fortifying the modularity and standardization in electric freight transport systems. The discoveries underscore the merits of a modular design in its scalability and adaptability, offering capabilities to modulate the power output of the fuel cell system and the hydrogen storage capacity, thus customizing the truck’s performance to adhere to particular operational demands, while also promoting simplified maintenance and component substitution, culminating in reduced downtime and elevated availability.
