BEV improvements threaten to sideline hydrogen heavy trucks

Much has been made, as with passenger vehicles, of the need to create zero-emission trucks with an equivalent range to their ICE counterparts. As is the case with cars, in practice that is mainly not necessary.

Heavy duty diesel trucks can travel 1,000-1,500km on a single tank. Received wisdom has been that the only way to get those kinds of distances for a 'clean' truck would be through hydrogen fuel cells.
