Reza with Dr. Guo at the CTR Symposium poster session Presentation Green Hydrogen for Heavy-Duty Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles: Facility Planning, Freight Scheduling and Fleet Operation Mohammad Reza Ghorbanali Zadegan, Zhaomiao Guo The work introduces a novel mixed-integer programming (MIP) model for heavy-duty fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs), integrating routing & scheduling, freight capacity, and on-site hydrogen production. It emphasizes the role of customer location distribution and hydrogen refueling station (HRS) placement in reducing operational costs and adapting to weather conditions. A case study on the Florida freight network demonstrates how solar-powered hydrogen production can balance cost and environmental footprint while supporting regional decarbonization. The research is part of INSPIRE Lab’s broader portfolio on freight electrification and clean energy integration.
