Australia needs to ramp up policies and plans to fuel hydrogen trucks or will risk being lapped by the rest of the world in cutting emissions from heavy transport, a report has warned.

The CSIRO study, released on Monday, also warns Australia needs to develop hydrogen at central locations rather than individual service stations to keep prices low and should invest in specialised carbon fibre tankers to transport the new fuel.
