But there's still a whole lot of ground to cover between here and the place where they're able to spit multiple trucks out the door on a daily basis. Also there's that whole no infrastructure for hydrogen currently existing thing to tackle. That's no easy task.
Flawed though they are, I'd be running several CNG powered trucks right now if I could get the fuel where we operate. But CNG stations don't exist in these parts and likely won't for quite a few years.
I've been watching these guys and I hope they end up doing what they claim they can do. And I hope the actual numbers turn out to be close to what they claim. But even if all that happens, I expect a slow transition. Change happens slow in trucking. Always has. Old dogs don't like new tricks.
Ever considered having a tanker truck to replenish the CNG trucks? This could be a co-op effort, several companies using it.
