Ok this is interesting, but can it haul any weight? Why are you racing around a track bobtail? I want to see you haul up a 3 mile hill with a 6 percent grade carrying 25000 kgs.
The Hyzon is almost certainly a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle (HFCV) which means it uses an electric drivetrain. This was made obvious by the way it launched from the starting line. Electric motors can be configured to give much more torque than a diesel. The problem with electric drivetrains has never been about their ability to produce adequate power, it's how to feed them with the energy required to produce that power. An electric drivetrain can be much smaller than a diesel drivetrain yet produce far more torque and Hp. With a HFCV this is done using a battery pack as a buffer for the output of the fuel cell. Fuel cells (as sized for this application) typically cannot produce the amperage for sustained high performance applications (like repeated aggressive accelerations or extended periods of extreme high-speed driving) so they employ a battery that acts like a huge energy storage capacitor. The battery pack isn't nearly as large as in an EV and cannot provide sustained "battery powered EV only" driving for anything more than perhaps 15-20 miles before draining the battery. The battery packs can however, dump huge amounts of energy for several minutes before needing to allow the fuel cell to refill or charge it back up. The engineers will almost certainly have designed the size of the battery pack to allow for hauling 25,000 kgs for several miles up a 6% grade. Tesla recently demonstrated their BEV semi doing this with 20,000 kgs, passing a diesel like it was standing still. And the Tesla semi likely weighs 8,000 to 10,000 pounds more than the Hyzon.
In case anyone is curious, Hyzon puts hydrogen-fueled powertrains in Daimler trucks - Freightliner in the USA, and Mercedes-Benz in Europe. This appears to be a Mercedes Axor, but they also do the Freightliner Cascadia (long nose conventional highway tractor) and Mercedes/Freightliner Econic (low cab forward). This is a fuel cell hybrid, meaning that the hydrogen is used by a fuel cell stack to produce electricity, the axles are driven by an electric motor, and a battery smooths out power demand and stores energy from regenerative braking.
The Hyzon truck got the jump on the diesel truck at the start but didn't draw away any further. This test didn't really prove anything. Load the trucks to capacity and test them pulling a load in real day to day circumstances.
If speed around a race track were actually relevant, a useful test would be to run one truck at a time (from the same starting position), and compare lap times. There is nothing useful about this exercise.
After good start the Hydrogen truck was mostly just blocking the lines and defending its lead against the diesel truck. Tactically astute and mature play from Hydrogen!
This video shows an ICE vs Electric race. A Diesel vs Hydrogen race would involve maybe deliveries with loads over a working week and would involve refilling. In this kind of race the Hydrogen would lose because the hydrogen refilling infrastructure simply isn't there, yet.
I agree, Hyzon has become very serious about this technology. As far as when you'll see them in Germany, I suspect it won't be too long. However, Germany doesn't yet have the Hydrogen infrastructure so it's hard to predict.
I notice the criticism on this video and sort of agree that this proves nothing. It's just marketing... in which case it arguably succeeded because currently this is the second most viewed video on the channel.
Interesting question. The water exiting the fuel cell will be quite hot but if it didn't evaporate it would freeze. Rolling down the road it wouldn't produce enough water to cause an issue. However, sitting at a light might present a problem.
It is pointless and dramatic to have a a race on a circuit to prove who's faster when it comes down to driving skill more than the truck speed, I don't think this was money well-spent and as an investor I would like to see marketing that is much more effective in demonstrating the the possibilities surrounding this tech
That was no ICE. Burning H2 in an ICE won't give you the torque of a diesel. The way that Hyzon launched means it's almost certainly a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle (HFCV) with electric motors fed power from a small battery pack. Since fuel cells (as sized for an automotive application) typically cannot produce the amperage for sustained high performance applications (like repeated aggressive accelerations or extended periods of extreme high-speed driving) HFCV's require small battery packs to act as buffers for the fuel cell. The battery pack isn't nearly as large as in an EV and cannot provide sustained "battery powered EV only" driving for anything more than perhaps 15-20 miles before draining the battery. The battery packs can however, dump huge amounts of amperage for several minutes before needing to be allowed to recover. I can't say for certain though but this is how Toyota and Honda configure their production HFCV's. Hyzon may be doing something different but it's unlikely.

@@MeatGunz- Not true in this instance. The Hyzon is almost certainly a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle (HFCV) which means it uses an electric drivetrain. This was made obvious by the way it launched from the starting line. A diesel ICE configured to burn hydrogen would not have had nearly the torque that an ICE burning diesel would have. Electric motors can be configured to give tremendous amounts of torque. Actually, if there wasn't such a problem feeding them the huge amounts of electrical energy they need to produce such power you'd see far more electric motors in transportation applications. Hopefully, improvements to Li-ion or other chemistries like sodium-ion or aluminum-ion will change this. By the way, since the Hyzon is likely using a fuel cell, it must also be using a fairly large battery acting as a buffer for the output of the fuel cell. Not nearly as large as the battery in a fully battery powered EV (like Tesla Semi's 900kWh battery pack), but likely between 15-20kWh.

If Musk says H2 has no oomph then I cannot see him mistaken! Though perhaps Musk has omitted to consider that the O from the electrolysis is also to be captured and used. H2 and O in liquified form being able by their reaction to propel rockets to Space. Probably the case - imho - that some sort of controlled supply of Oxygen to the combustion system of H2 will be able to supply the oomph which Musk needs to compete with hydrocarbons.
No one would bother carrying liquid oxygen in a land vehicle. The potential production of oxygen as a by-product of hydrogen production should be an economic benefit, but is irrelevant to hydrogen-fueled vehicles other than rockets (and few rockets are hydrogen-fueled). Hydrogen for rockets is actually produced, like essentially all commercially produced hydrogen, from natural gas. That process does not produce oxygen as a by-product.
@@brianb-p6586 My notion for the generalised industrial use of H2 is generation through electrolysis of sea water by dynamos actuated by many different techniques which harness what may be termed ‘ambient planetary energy’. The ‘cosmic motors’ for these are 1 - Sun; 2 - Moon; and 3 - Cosmic Gyre (or Universal Spin). To my own reflective process the two main ways used so far - solar panels and wind turbines - are the most inefficient and least desirable. Without knowing scientifically it appears to humble self that universal spin is probably the most generative - Earth’s turning shoves liquid against continents and the result weaves an integrated pattern of ocean currents over the globe. 2/5 the weight of liquid concrete slow but broad-fronted - 100s of miles. The power grid derivable from this would not require storage it will be concentrating the liveliness of earth just a little to make many times more available energy than on old bases of oils and coal.

Not a chance. No hydrogen-fueled vehicle is lighter than an equivalent diesel-fueled vehicle, due to the weight of the hydrogen tanks (the tanks themselves, not the hydrogen in them).
How stupid. How about race up a hill with a full load. Anyone with knowledge of a fool cell truck knows that there is a lithium ion battery in there. That battery can produce massive current for a short while for off the line brief acceleration with no load. Then the low power fool cells work over time to recharge it, or it gets charged during braking like the battery in a Prius. I guess stunts like this fuel investment for a while until people realize it takes more than a prototype to make a company, it takes a huge factory. A factory that ... look left ... look right ... doesn't seem to be around. Sort of a big hat no cattle kind of situation. There have been hydrogen powered trucks available since 2017 and even before that. Why don't we see them. Trucking companies have calculators and accountants that realize it will cost more that 3 times as much to drive a hydrogen powered truck than almost any alternative including battery powered trucks. There have been big changes in management at Hyzon lately. I suppose the new crew will eventually figure out they are there to guide this thing into bankruptcy. I haven't looked at the Altman Z score for this one yet, but I suspect it isn't good.
