The major problems with hydrogen-electric cars are that hydrogen tanks are expensive and difficult to build, and that refuelling stations aren’t exactly common.

Hydrogen-electric trains make much more sense, as the tanks scale well-- large tanks are more efficient storage than small ones-- and the fact that trains have set routes makes adding hydrogen infrastructure much simpler. As well, it likely wouldn’t be difficult to extend range by simply adding more tanker cars behind the engine.

This is great news, and I hope the pilot project goes well and is expanded
