Fuel-Cell Trucks Poised to Drive a Six-Million-Ounce Platinum Demand Surge

The core claim is largely supported: Valterra Platinum did publicly say that a 20% share of the global heavy-duty truck fleet could imply about 6 million ounces of annual platinum demand, and Hilton Ingram is identified as the executive making that estimate. Claims about China’s hydrogen truck rollout and Tianjin-linked infrastructure are also broadly supported, though often with softer, region-specific evidence rather than exact national totals. Some details in both versions are generalized or imprecise, but no major factual contradiction was found.
