This Hydrogen Truck Will DESTROY All Current Trucks!

Are Hydrogen Trucks the Future?
According to the American Trucking Associations, more than 72% of goods and services moved in the U.S. travel by trucks. And more than 60% of the miles logged by the trucking industry come from heavy-duty diesel-powered, greenhouse gas-emitting semi-trailer trucks.
In this video, we'll be looking at a smarter, cleaner way to maintain that interstate flow of goods while mitigating climate change which would be to power the long-haul trucking sector with hydrogen fuel cells. Let's get into it.
The Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Energy Association defined a fuel cell as a device that generates electricity through an electrochemical reaction, not combustion. It combines hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricity, heat, and water. In transportation applications, the electricity powers the electric motor that drives the vehicle’s propulsion system. And because fuel cells contain no moving parts, they operate silently with extremely high reliability.
Kenneth “K.C.” Neyerlin, an electrochemist with the Electrochemical Engineering and Materials Chemistry group at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) explained that you can think of a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle as an electric vehicle where you’ve replaced the battery with a fuel cell, and the electric charge used for ‘fuel’ with compressed hydrogen gas.
Depending on the current density being delivered, a typical fuel cell operates in the range of 0.6 to 0.95 volts. FCVs typically combine several hundred fuel cells into a so-called “stack” to achieve the voltage and power levels required to operate the vehicle.
Hydrogen fuel cells as a sustainable source of clean energy is on the rise globally, and hydrogen fuel cells are widely seen as a viable, zero-emission option to power trucks, trains, ferries, and passenger vehicles.
The heavy-duty vehicle (HDV) market could prove to be ideal for fuel cell development and deployment. Hydrogen fuel cells are well-suited for this market because of their fast refueling time and long driving range. They also contain a higher amount of energy-per-unit mass than a lithium battery or diesel fuel. By increasing the size of the hydrogen tank, a truck can have a higher amount of energy available without significantly increasing the weight – an important consideration for long-haul trucks that have strict weight penalty policies.

I would prefer hydrogen over just electrical vehicle especially trucks. It would be very interesting.👍

[MrGary]

I believe 5 years from now they are going to be big

The over the road truckers if today average around 600 miles per day in the U S. They would need refueling or recharging to make this many miles per day but also for those drivers that live in the trucks for an extended period of time they would need enough energy to stay warm in winter and cool in summer during their sleeper and off duty time. And especially for shutdown highways due to winter storms that make it impossible to keep driving

Hyundai has been testing the Xcient FCEV in Switzerland for a few years now and with good success.

Would you please teach about cobalt nitrogen carbon fuelcells Thanks for the information.I think it's the companies to set up filling stations

[dougharding]

Nikola is on its way they already building hydrogen trucks and companies already buying and testing them Nikola will be the future 👌 👍 👏

"Electric cars are becoming cheaper to buy??" On what planet?

So, an Hydrogen Truck is the same as a Battery-Electric Truck but with a smaller battery but with a fuel cell and Hydrogen storage.
I know that Hydrogen is very fuel dense by weight but it is less efficient as of conversion efficiency.
It would be really interesting to see a mathematical study to figure out where the trade it.

As a School Bus Driver I've noticed that the electric busses are problematic and not reliable for a long working day

The Biden administration on Tuesday strengthened limits on smog-forming pollution from buses, delivery vans, tractor-trailers and other trucks, the first time in more than 20 years that tailpipe standards have been tightened for heavy-duty vehicles. 5:44
The new rule from the Environmental Protection Agency is designed to cut nitrogen oxide from the vehicles by 48 percent by 2045.
“We know that these garbage trucks, tractor-trailers, delivery trucks, they’re going through our neighborhoods and they are impacting children and families, ” Mr. Regan said. By Lisa Friedman - Dec. 20, 2022

Hyllion has the 4 steps to hydrogen you conveniently forgot them.

[thebustedbolt]

So, instead of finding a faster way to charge why not have battery swaping stations?

[billdrosehn]

I would prefer hydrogen over batteries for an F-350 Superduty that I presently use. I look forward to the future when I can buy hydrogen cells and run cleaner and longer without having to deal with the diesel fuel. I fully intend to invest in green hydrogen technology. Thank you for this informative video.

to this reason Nikola company develop first hydrogen truck

[kingdomkhmer]

KingDom Khmer love car😊👍KingDom🙏🚛🚚🙏😊from in Cambodia

[andersont.]

Well…..I’m just a small business owner trying to survive here San Francisco Bay.
2023 my 2009 truck is going to be out of business.
Now I’m spending $300 in fuel per day of work.
I really have go with another alternative….unfortunately.

Put hydrogen refuelling at the Motorway/ Interstate/ Autobahn/ Autoroute/ Autostrade service areas first. Probably needs a government sponsored scheme to get it going then the market can take over and push it out further.🧐👍

Its really funny to watch as EV is gaining traction & becoming a major force so many companies are rolling out new H power plants. This is the engine & transmission engineers last grasp at saving their careers as when (not if) the world goes electric they will be unemployed because there will be nowhere to go. Even John Deere has a full electric combine in testing.
OK, dig this. There are 150, 000 gas stations in the US. There 140, 000 EV charging stations in the US and armies of workmen are hard at work this very minute building more. California has the most H fueling stations in the US, 17, only because Gov Schwarzenegger had those built to jumpstart the H industry. It did not work. Lots of luck H industry trying to catch up.
See you at the EV charging station.

Given the cost of diesel right now and a possible shortage of diesel we need these on the road much sooner. Without enough trucks, affordable fuel and enough drivers we are going to have an inflation. We need these trucks now.

Some facts about status in Europe on Hydrogen fuel cell trucks
Switzerland
Hyundai Xcient since 2019 have gone through 1 million km on the road, 120 trucks by end 2022, 1600 by 2025
12 hydrogen refuelling stations at the end of 2021
Germany
27 Hyundai Xcient trucks are on their way to Germany which had 101 hydrogen refuelling stations at end of 2021
The Netherlands
Hyzon US delivered their first Hydrogen truck 4 months ago there 11 refuelling stations in NL at the end of 2021
France 41, U.K. 19 others spread throughout EU, even Portugal has 1
electrolysers are being built in Germany, Spain Portugal & the Netherlands in 10 - 100 - 200MW capacity range
Long haul heavy duty trucks from Volvo & Mercedes are not far off as can be seen on YouTube videos
