I dunno. I have watched the podcast where they unveiled the truck. And I dont know. They have some serious looking companies backing them. Didnt check them though. The concept alone is proven ( diesel electric locomotives, tugboats...), the truck looks real, not a prop.The bussiness plan looks, well, i mean, if everything goes by their plans, in 5 years they will have almost monopoly to hydrogen fuel stations and thats something.
So if it is not a vaporware, the questions are:
1) can they really chew such a big chunk of meal?
2) will hydrogen economy ever emerge? They seem to rely on it quite a bit
3) what will PACCAR do with them?
Four years of waiting, I guess.
