Did he say which "model/brand" they went with?
Here is what I have read. Because diesel engines "go lean" (air/fuel ratio) by design, they are better able to exploit the hydrogen. Also, Lowes trucks are "doing hard labor" as opposed to our ecomodder/hypermiler driving styles, which strive to put as little load on the engine as possible. Lean + hard work engine loads is good for hydrogen injection.
The *other* argument I have read is that you also end up with cleaner emissions, which is a 2-for-1.
