Electrifying heavy-duty trucks is essential if we’re to fight climate change and air pollution, but the pace of the transition has been painfully slow—many, many pilots, but few truly large-scale orders. Schneider will soon open a 4.8-megawatt megawatt facility in El Monte, California , capable of charging 32 trucks at one time.

At the heart of the Capstone process are microturbines that burn liquid or compressed natural gas, a hydrogen blend with natural gas or 100% hydrogen, all of which can be produced from renewable sources. Renewable natural gas made from organic waste is not a fossil fuel and does not involve drilling, making it appealing.

Large commercial trucks and other heavy equipment have run on diesel fuel for many decades now. Rising fuel-economy standards during the 2020s will do the same. Some makers suggest hydrogen fuel cells will be the way to go; the most promising application seems to be long-haul trucking with few or no stops.

If there was ever a car on the road fitting the bill as future, it is the 2024 Toyota Mirai Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV). This is impressive as there are only 55 operating hydrogen fuel stations in the state and the availability of hydrogen is sometimes spotty. No plugging in to an electrical outlet.
