Peterbilt did turbine testbed rig a few years ago
BOOOOOM!!!!!!
What is this tractor’s coefficient of drag?
Blind side backing that into a loading dock would really suck.
Visibility is your friend...
Looks like a stupid Star Wars trooper helmet with wheels.
The company seems to be for real. It appears that they are benefiting from government regulations on emissions.
Potential game-changer, for Linehaul, if it is as economical as they say. Reliability would need to be there also.
I didn’t see how the hydrogen is stored - cryogenic or compressed gas?
I read the article and did not see anything as to how much per mile it costs to fuel it compared to a diesel truck.
What I did read was emissions standards (global warming) is the push behind their efforts.
The whole thing sounds impressive. My skepticism centers around it’s overall operating costs compared to a conventional diesel truck.
Then we have extreme cold climates. With this design be better or worse? It’s an electric hydrogen hybrid. I see the hydrogen part working OK in subzero temps, but typically anything electric is much less efficient in extreme cold.
Hydrogen huh?
After the first one explodes it will get the nickname “Hindenburg”...
“Oh the humanity....”

Not so subtly trading off of the Tesla name. I’m surprised they haven’t been sued for trademark infringement.
