Some commercial trucks to be powered by hydrogen soon in B.C.

Some commercial trucking in B.C. could soon be powered by hydrogen, because of a new pilot program.

The province is investing $16.5 million into the program, with the goal of using hydrogen in the commercial transportation sector.

The project will see HTEC buy, test, and demonstrate hydrogen-powered trucks for fleet operators throughout BC.
