The Verge · 1y

General Motors (GM) is launching a pilot project, supported by the US Department of Energy, to release a fleet of medium-duty trucks running on hydrogen fuel cells. The initiative aims to demonstrate the feasibility of hydrogen as an alternative to diesel vehicles. GM will develop the trucks, which will share an exterior design with the Chevy Silverado 5500 medium-duty trucks, and utilise hydrogen fuel cells developed by its Hydrotec division. The project will receive funds from the DOE's SuperTruck program, with a total cost of $65m, including $26m from the DOE and the rest from GM and its partners.
