Those alpha trucks were built right here in Ann Arbor Michigan.&nbsp; &nbsp;These five new Toyota\/Kenworth beta hydrogen fuel cell class 8 trucks are even more special.&nbsp; &nbsp;These beta trucks were built in Washington and demonstrate purpose built trucks showing they&#8217;re close to ready for commercial mass production.&nbsp; &nbsp;These trucks will haul real loads in the real world under the same excruciating conditions diesel trucks deal with every day all around the world.&nbsp; &nbsp;These trucks are ready to go to work everyday and prove that heavy freight doesn&#8217;t have to come with thick black diesel smoke emissions.&nbsp; &nbsp;This will be by far my favorite story line to follow over the next few years now that these big rigs are on the road.&nbsp; The diesel market is a big market &amp; does some big pollution.&nbsp; Hydrogen fuel cells will forever change the diesel market and this quarter was a significant milestone in that change.&nbsp; The decades long transition from diesel to zero emissions hydrogen fuel cells begins with this single step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Something else we have our eye on for the near future is the Hartford Connecticut Air Liquide hydrogen refueling station&#8217;s &#8220;grand opening&#8221;.&nbsp; &nbsp;RMP has had this Air Liquide station on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.respectmyplanet.org\/public_html\/united_states\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">our map<\/a> for almost a year and Google satellite imagery confirms this station and a handful of other Air Liquide stations in New York, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island have been built with cars refueling for several months.&nbsp; &nbsp;If Air Liquide is finally talking about official grand openings of these stations after a year of testing, it must mean we are close to Toyota dealers selling fuel cell vehicles into America&#8217;s East Coast.&nbsp; Stay tuned.&nbsp; Thanks for reading and see you next quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome new readers of RMP\u2019s quarterly H2 infrastructure report.&nbsp;
