Medtem, ko se arizonski Nikoletina otepa sumov v svojo genialnost in zmožnost uresničitve množice pompoznih obljub, ko Toyota/Hino za Ameriko pripravljata tovornjak na vodik, je Hyundai v Švici že izročil sedem tovornjakov na gorivno celico za redno uporabo, poroča Reuters.

South Korean carmaker Hyundai on Wednesday presented the first seven hydrogen-powered trucks to customers in Switzerland, out of 50 such vehicles scheduled this year to bring zero-emission commercial vehicles to European roads.
Hyundai has been partnering with Swiss companies to build a value chain covering the production of green hydrogen from hydropower, hydrogen charging stations and the service and maintenance of the trucks.
The customers, which include supermarket chain Migros, will be leasing the trucks from Hyundai Hydrogen Mobility (HHM) to transport goods around the country, backed by the new hydrogen infrastructure.
Leases are on a pay-per-use basis that does not require an initial investment. Hyundai plans to put 1,600 trucks on Swiss roads by 2025.

In prvi bodo zadnji in zadnji bodo prvi...

Nekje v tem kevdru sem elektrofile pred časom pozival, naj vendar dajo link na kakšno verodostono poročilo o delujočem centru za reciklažo baterij. Jaz namreč nisem našel nič, kar bi presegalo laboratorijkso-testne poskuse. Na moj poziv ni bilo odgovora. No, zdaj pa Reuters poroča, da soustanovitelj Tesle namerava zgraditi najboljši in največji obrat za reciklažo odsluženih baterij. Eppur si muove?

Tesla co-founder J.B. Straubel wants to build his startup Redwood Materials into the world’s top battery recycling company and one of the largest battery materials companies, he said at a technology conference Wednesday.
Straubel aims to leverage two partnerships, one with Panasonic Corp 6752.T, the Japanese battery manufacturer that is teamed with Tesla TSLA.O at the Nevada gigafactory, and one announced weeks ago with e-commerce giant Amazon AMZN.O.
With production of electric vehicles and batteries about to explode, Straubel says his ultimate goal is to “make a material impact on sustainability, at an industrial scale.”
Established in early 2017, Redwood this year will recycle more than 1 gigawatt-hours’ worth of battery scrap materials from the gigafactory — enough to power more than 10,000 Tesla cars.
That is a fraction of the half-million vehicles Tesla expects to build this year. At the company’s Battery Day in late September, Chief Executive Elon Musk said he was looking at recycling batteries to supplement the supply of raw materials from mining as Tesla escalates vehicle production.
