I’ve been talking about the Tyrano Class 8 Truck from Vision Industries since 2009. Now Vision Industries has some great news to share regarding a company called Total Transportation Services, Inc. (TTS-I) of Rancho Dominquez, California that has finalized its purchase order for 100 Tyrano trucks. The Tyrano is a plug-in hybrid hydrogen fuel cell […]

Australia’s RMIT University has created a small-scale replica of the Scania Highline series long haul truck, but this one is operated by remote control and hydrogen fuel cell. The full scale real life diesel version usually travels between the cities of Melbourne and Sydney. According to RMIT, “Professor Aleksandar Subic, Head of the School of […]

In the past couple of years while electric cars have taken the spotlight center stage, hydrogen vehicle manufacturers have been quietly commercializing their vehicles.

Now battery electric vehicle (BAV) makers are starting to catch on that adding a hydrogen fuel cell to their EVs will extend the range of […]

Brian Hess (Hessgen founder/inventor) decided to tackle the Baja 500, a tortuous race by any means, in a partly hydrogen powered truck. The Hessgen Hydrogen Trophy Truck #88 is a 700 HP beast that completed the 500 mile journey in 22 hours. The Hessgen Trophy Truck is a dual fuel vehicle partly powered by race […]
