Freight transport accounts for 8–15% of total traffic flow in urban areas within the European Union. The majority of these deliveries are undertaken by diesel-powered vehicles with extremely disproportionate levels of CO₂, NO_x and particulate matter emissions. Accordingly, a variety of strategic options have been advanced as key solutions for addressing fossil fuel demand and emissions in urban freight transport. This paper progresses the discourse on hydrogen vehicles as viable strategic options for addressing sustainability concerns in urban logistics by undertaking a comprehensive total cost of ownership analysis. Outcomes from this study not only support the economic competitiveness of hydrogen vehicles, but also analyse implications of several future policy and market scenarios.

货运在欧盟市区范围内的总交通流量中占8-15％。这些交付大部分是由柴油动力车辆执行的，这些车辆的CO ₂，NO _x和颗粒物排放水平极不相称。因此，已经提出了各种战略选择作为解决城市货运中化石燃料需求和排放的关键解决方案。本文通过进行全面的总拥有成本分析，将氢汽车作为解决城市物流中可持续性问题的可行战略选择进行了探讨。这项研究的结果不仅支持氢能汽车的经济竞争力，而且还分析了几种未来政策和市场情景的影响。
