Hyundai's new hydrogen truck
Seen pictures of the new Hyundai hydrogen powered truck the Neptune. It looks like a old fashioned art deco steam train, very cool. Would make a neat RV with the matching tailer.

So in the article,
Globally, it's a different story, since fossil-fuel Hyundai semi-tractors are sold in more than 100 countries, and the company's zero-emission truck future is starting outside the U.S. as well. Hyundai will also deliver the first of 1600 hydrogen-powered semi-tractors to companies in Switzerland later this year. While the powertrain in these trucks is zero emission, the look is a more standard cab-over design based on Hyundai's XCient truck.
Should be interesting when they hit Switzerland .
Zero emisions?
In your dreams.
Hydrogen is made mostly from fosil fuels.
Look up how much it costs to make hydrogen and what infrastructure it needs to fuel these things.
EV are cheaper and better
You just made the exact same arguments against EV's. This is why government should not be involved in picking winners and losers. Let the market find the lowest cost most energy efficient method. Alternative energy sources for vehicles is still in its infancy. I am not convinced EV is the technology that will win. We have at a minimum a decade or more for things to start to shake out.
