The Hydrogen Truck Problem Isn't the Truck
Summary
The Hydrogen Truck Problem Isn't the Truck argues that hydrogen-powered trucks themselves work, but the real barriers are production efficiency, refuelling infrastructure, and the competing grid. It provides a detailed comparison of energy losses across hydrogen vs battery-electric pathways, outlines current deployments (e.g., Hyundai XCIENT), and identifies where hydrogen makes sense (steel, chemicals, seasonal storage) versus where BEV dominates road freight today.
