“We’re taking some things that we learned with the Kenworth truck, and a lot of things that Toyota has learned with their trucks, and we are working together to build the next-gen trucks,” said Brian Lindgren, director of research and development at Kenworth.

The trucks will have a range of 300 miles in drayage operations. Rather than relying on heavy battery packs, hydrogen-electric trucks store energy as hydrogen and convert it into electricity to power the electric motor.
