Amazing truck from America

[johan]

It can't be that hard to buld fueling stations that store CNG. Even so, if every company that buys this truck builds its own CNG fueling stations, it won't be long before they are everywhere, just like the regular gas stations are. With a few years of intensive bulding such fueling stations will indeed be available everywhere.

Its not hard to build a CNG station. Just expensive. It costs several  million to get a CNG station up and running. And that's when there's already a natural gas pipeline in the ground to tap into for supply. If you have to run your own pipeline, the price goes up substantially.

But that's CNG. These trucks will run on hydrogen. Currently there are zero hydrogen stations up and running. They're saying they're going to build 364 stations but they give no timeline for that. And even then according to their map, there would be exactly 1 option for fuel within 100 miles of our office. That ain't exactly a comforting thought.

But the part that caught my eye the most was the time and distance this truck needs to stop - 5 feet to stop! From moving speed to 0 mph in 5 feet! That's incredible! Even the car pimped with the best parts on the market can't stop so quickly.

What does 'moving speed' mean?

Ever considered having a tanker truck to replenish the CNG trucks? This could be a co-op effort, several companies using it.

That wouldn't be a practical solution for us unfortunately.
