Abstract
Today, as the world is experiences the severe effects of climate change, there exists a high demand for sustainable solutions. To achieve the sustainability goals set by the Paris Agreements, a complete decarbonization of the transportation sector is required. This is only possible by achieving carbon neutrality and the zero use of fossil fuels. In the sustainable fuel sector, Green Hydrogen is rising as a potential alternative for fossil fuels. The use of Green Hydrogen has a high potential to drive changes in the logistics sector. Heavy duty trucks are required to carry shipments over long distances, and we see that electric trucks have disadvantages because of their low charging speed and short travel ranges. In contrast, hydrogen fuel cell trucks have the potential to meet consumers’ demands. In the following research, we focus on the innovation system development that takes place due to the arrival of heavy-duty hydrogen trucks in the logistics market. The development of this innovation system study is divided into three parts, the first part is an analysis of the disruptive nature of hydrogen trucks, in the second part we discuss the role of entrepreneurs introducing hydrogen trucks to the market, and the third part discusses the development of hydrogen trucks with relation to the current socio-technical system. Through this analysis the research has also contributed framework for innovation system development.
