Hydrogen Fuel Is Gaining Traction With Truckers
Jim Gillis is making a big bet on hydrogen-powered big rigs.
Gillis, president of the Pacific region for Collierville, Tenn.-based IMC, will take delivery in the coming weeks of his first hydrogen electric fuel-cell Nikola trucks long before the technology is proven and a refueling network is set up.
"I am always worried about first-generation technology," said Gillis, who expects to be running 50 of the sleek rigs by the end of 2024. "As fancy as it all looks, I know going into it that we are going to have some problems."
The company is among many looking to overhaul their fleets to meet impending requirements for zero-emissions commercial trucks in California.
Many of those truckers are focused on battery-cell rigs that essentially bulk up electric-vehicle technology from the passenger-car industry for 18-wheelers. Hydrogen is gaining a following, however, among some heavy-duty truck operators who see it as the industry's best path toward zero-emission technology, especially for rigs traveling long distances.
