Hydrogen for Trucks Act of 2023

The Hydrogen for Trucks Act of 2023 establishes a federal grant program to support the adoption of hydrogen-powered heavy-duty trucks and related infrastructure. It provides funding for eligible entities - such as truck fleet operators, public agencies, fueling station developers, and partnerships - to purchase at least 7 hydrogen fuel cell trucks or build hydrogen fueling stations, with requirements for public access and regional diversity. Grants cover capital costs (up to $500,000 per truck or station), operational expenses, and safety training, while requiring recipients to report on fuel use, reliability, and emissions data. The program aims to demonstrate vehicle performance across different regions, reduce costs, and accelerate market deployment of hydrogen trucks by 2028, with priority given to projects benefiting disadvantaged communities.
