Hype, once celebrated as a poster child for hydrogen mobility in Europe, has abandoned hydrogen as its primary fuel source, and has pivoted to solely electric vehicles for taxis. This pivot should not surprise anyone who has been closely tracking the consistent and inevitable collapse of hydrogen-powered transportation ventures around.
