Abstract:Over the next 50 years, hydrogen use is expected to grow dramatically as an automotive and electrical power source fuel. As hydrogen becomes commercially viable, the safety issues associated with hydrogen systems, equipment, and operation are of concern to the commercial motor vehicle industry. This report provides a review of the existing Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) and considers changes in order to accommodate gaseous and liquid hydrogen. In addition, this report considers changes to the current North American Standard (NAS) Inspection Procedures to accommodate gaseous and liquid hydrogen used as an alternative fuel in commercial vehicles.
