The discussion between electrification and hydrogen is less about which one is superior and more about where one best fits within the larger mobility ecosystem. While it's common to default to electrification for passenger cars, we may only be scratching the surface of what hydrogen can offer for larger vehicles.

Tarek Abdel-Baset, Director of Business Development for Hydrogen Storage Systems in North America within the Clean Mobility division at FORVIA, joins us for this edition of AutoVision News Radio. Tarek covers the fundamentals of hydrogen, its role as a zero-emissions mobility solution, and expands on the concept of Resiliency versus Efficiency.

Recorded at the Station at Michigan Central inside the marvelous Grand Hall, Tarek shares what the iconic landmark means to him, echoing the sentiments of many Detroiters who believe the best is yet to come for the Renaissance City.
