All well and good but will Ottawa accept batteries of the hydrogen electric they seem to think it has to be 100% electric for everything
Prince George is going slightly different to the hydrogen battery
they’re going to compressed hydrogen
they have a huge plant for those of you who want to get hydrogen you can do it in Prince George
most of the trucking fleets around prince George are switching to pure hydrogen motors
there’s another hydrogen plant, I believe, being built in North Vancouver
myself, I think that’s the answer whether Ottawa will agree or not I have no idea
JCB has done a lot of research and development and they offer heavy duty equipment; bulldozers, loaders, excavators that run on straight hydrogen.

Whoop-de-do! A far cry from the 2000 mile range of the diesels.

I’m sort of disappointed that management didn’t have the cohones to make it a real loadbearing operation. It shows doubt, not a positive aspect, huh? Oh well Irish

Hydrogen trucks area. Interesting concept. I don’t see fully electric being an option of much use.
The challenge I see here is to get this hydrogen truck into oilfield work hauling an end dump would be a good ground to test one for a start . Also get it into logging and test it

I guess Hydrogen truck is for a very small trucking market? I haul Interstate, 80,000 lbs. gross weight maximum, across AZ. NM. & TX. from CA. Only a handful of states allow 82K lbs. with additional $$ permit. Not the norm. My 2014 KW T680 15Liter ISX Cummins motor 550 HP 2,100 lb bs. torque 76″ Sleeper has Double Bunk, Fridge, Microwave weighs 21,000 lbs full of fuel w/200 gallons, good for 1,000 miles B4 fuel needed. My Trailer is 48′ Flatbed Conestoga @11,000 lbs. I am required to haul 48,000 net weight, regular normal loads. Keeping me at that 80K max weight. That Day Cab Nikola weighs 26,000 lbs! That’s insane. Let’s not forget, trucking industry NO longer uses CAB OVER rigs due liability/workers comp accidents from past, for over 2 decades, Why? = Fat truckers falling off driver door! How about showing this info to your readers? Capishe.
Thank you.

I am one who believes Hydrogen will eventually win out over straight Battery vehicles. I would love to see a Carbon foot print comparing the a pure battery unit to a fuel cell unit, staring at the mining of the raw material to the end of a 300 Km delivery run.
Government seems to avoid any talk about lack of infrastructure for electrification of the national fleet by 2035. Fuel outlets exist and conversion to Hydrogen dispensing is far more sensible and cost effective.

This is great except there’s no place to buy hydrogen

Congratulations Nikola, AMTA, Bison and Dave Lowe on completing the Edmonton Calgary round trip with fuel to spare and during winter conditions. This encouraging news sets the stage for cleaner transportation of goods between Alberta’s two main cities. Your future tests with loads and during colder periods will be interesting to follow, I wish you good luck and success in your future endeavors.

Really! You are bragging about driving 519 km on a tank of fuel. I can get almost 3000km out of a tank of fuel on my diesel truck with almost no pollution with the latest emissions. Nikola has got to do a lot better before I would even consider a hydrogen truck.

Great news. One caveat Hydrogen when derived from water and then used goes right back to water , making Hydrogen 100% sustainable . Batteries are not a sustainable technology . We should stop Funding BEVs and just invest in Hydrogen
