Vision says that the Tyrano is 35% cheaper to operate than current diesel powered trucks and 50% cheaper than liquefied natural gas. or 33 kg of compressed hydrogen storage, resulting in an operating range of 200 or 400 miles, respectively, per 8-hour shift. The Tyrano is powered by Hydrogenics HyPM 16 fuel cell modules.

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. But today, heavy trucks remain a diesel world. 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. That’s about to change.

For some (not all) use cases, the economic advantages of going electric have been clear for a long time, and yet we’ve seen a dozen EV manufacturers go bust while trying to address the commercial market, while fleet operators continue to buy diesel vehicles, which continue to belch out clouds of oily black smoke. What are they good at?

Probably one of the fastest things out there going electric is underground mining, because one of the big problems is, when you have diesel equipment down in a mine, how do you get all the fumes out? There’s a new greenhouse gas requirement on large vehicles for 2027 engines, and California’s adopting that next year.
