Would hydrogen make sense for really heavy vehicles like bus or truck, or even train?

I think for cars it isn’t the most convenient. But at the same time hydrogen would be cool if it works because it’s so abundant. And it’s pretty cool that the hydrogen cars exhaust water.



Hydrogen can only work if the infrastructure is available. If you have a few hubs with a lot of traffic between them, it could make a lot of sense.

Having said this, I have seen quite a few Toyota Mirai taxis in Berlin. I am wondering if they ever have range anxiety or problems finding a fuel station.


At least for trains, batteries are already preferable to hydrogen and the technology is still being improved.
