Toyota is testing a hydrogen fuel-cell powered semi

The truck itself will be use two Mirai fuel cell stacks and a 12kWh battery to power two motors connected to the rear wheels working in parallel. With a range of over 200 miles per fill up, the truck can haul a gross combined weight capacity 80,000 pounds.

The Electric Semi, Nikola, that was supposed to be a battery powered semi, changed to hydrogen a few months ago. 

And they say their range is 1,200 miles.  Plus they plan on building a hydrogen grid across the US. 

A Tesla-Inspired Truck Might Actually Make Hydrogen Power Happen

Of course the flip side is, Toyota has the muscles behind it to make it happen.  Where as this Nikola is a startup. 

But this could be the future to long haul semi's.  Batteries just doesn't make sense for semi's.  hauling 20 tons, then adding 5 tons of batteries and a trucker having to wait for a full charge just doesn't seem to fit.
