System safety plan for commercial vehicles using hydrogen as an alternative fuel

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 concerns associated with hydrogen systems, equipment, and operation are of concern to the motor vehicle industry. This report is intended to provide guidance for the development of a System Safety Plan that would be used by a commercial vehicle fleet operator to ensure long-term safe operation of commercial vehicles utilizing hydrogen, regardless of the number of commercial vehicles in the fleet.
