METI has recently released a report describing deployment plans for the next generation vehicles, incumbent vehicles and their related industries up to 2030. The plans contain the target numbers of the next generation vehicles, which are likely to be used, and strategic plans, and action plans to execute the strategies, and load maps for some of the strategies, which contain time-arranged activities to be taken for achieving the goals.

In the action plans, the target numbers of the next generation vehicles are set to be larger than expected. The ratios of the next generation vehicles to the new vehicles sold in percentage term are 20 to 80% in 2020 and 50 to 70% in 2030. Those figures are not small.

The figures representative of the fuel cell vehicle listed are negligible. The report never ignores the FCV, however.
In a vehicle-size vs. cruising distance chart, the FCV is located in a region defined by the largest vehicle size and the longest cruising distance. The chart implies that the fuel cell vehicle will be infallibly employed for the long-cruising next generation vehicle of large size.
The report says: “The technology of the fuel cell vehicle is essential to diversify the fuels used in the transportation sector” in “Fuel Diversification” of the report.
The negligible figures will result from the conclusion produced when the fact that the FCV is under development and difficulty of building the hydrogen transportation and refueling infrastructure are taken into account.

In this connection, the unique technology has been developed by Hrein energy. The technology is capable of storing hydrogen in the form of an organic hydride, transporting the organic hydride, and removing hydrogen from the organic hydride for refueling. The organic hydride can be handled like gasoline and petroleum. The current filling station infrastructure can be directly used for refueling hydrogen vehicles.
I always think why this technology is not discussed for the building cost reduction of the hydrogen infrastructure.
