Logistics company Talke will operate the state's first hydrogen-powered freight truck...
The first time Rodrigo Peña climbed into the Hyzon truck's cabin and eased his foot off the break, it wasn't the awe of being inside the first hydrogen-powered freight truck to be operated in Texas that struck him."I could hear rocks pinging off the gravel in the yard — I could hear people blocks away," he said."It was like being in a huge golf cart."
"This transition at the start is quite expensive, and if we put all that on operators it will take a long time," Meeks said."We don’t anticipate being on subsidy longer than we need to, but the IRA gives us that immediate opportunity. We always planned on getting a truck to Houston, and that time is now that we're getting that subsidy money to Houston."
Even so, using hydrogen to lower greenhouse gas emissions from trucking makes more sense than making them run on electric batteries, which would have to be so large to power the them that it would be difficult for the vehicles to carry much else, according to a recent study from consultants McKinsey & Co. The hydrogen fuel cells are larger than traditional engines too, but not by that much, said Richard Heath, CEO and president of Baytown logistics firm Talke USA.
