The Ministry of Infrastructure has begun to create conditions for the development of hydrogen electric transport

The Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine has developed a draft order that introduces the possibility of developing wheeled vehicles running on hydrogen in Ukraine.

Hydrogen cars have zero carbon emissions and are therefore environmentally friendly. Increasing the number of such vehicles will reduce the level of negative impact on the environment.

In Europe, even public transport is being converted to hydrogen. The development of hydrogen cars is supported by some auto giants, such as Toyota.

There are no requirements for hydrogen transport in Ukraine today. These are electric vehicles on hydrogen fuel cells that run on compressed hydrogen. The draft order "On approval of Amendments to the Procedure for approval of the design of vehicles, their parts and equipment" improves the regulatory framework of the industry, including the 134th and 146th Rules of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe.

The document prepared by the Ministry of Infrastructure will allow not only to introduce the possibility of importing hydrogen cars to Ukraine, but also to establish their production in Ukraine. This may be an impetus for the further development of hydrogen technology.

You can get acquainted with the draft order on the website of the Ministry of Infrastructure (in Ukrainian).
