The Tesla Semi will be battery electric, while Nikola is planning three models powered by hydrogenfuel cells. PACCAR, which includes the DAF, Peterbilt, and Kenworth truck brands, has already. Tesla and Nikola have both announced zero-emission semi trucks.
Signs that a fuel cell truck revolution is coming to the US have been few and far between. A Whole New Fuel Cell […] Nevertheless, activity is finally beginning to pick up. Toyota has just jumped into the pool with both feet first, but the company better not look back. Something might be gaining on it.
Paccar and Toyota are expanding their joint efforts to develop and produce zero-emissions, hydrogenfuel cell Kenworth and Peterbilt trucks powered by Toyota’s next-generation hydrogenfuel cell modules.
Toyota has big hopes for hydrogen, and it’s backing that up with a braintrust. Set to be called Toyota’s North American Hydrogen Headquarters, the facility will, from here on, lead efforts on this continent “to research, develop, commercialize, and sell fuel cell and hydrogen-related products.”
