Welcome back to cheddar. News is closing bell,
everyone christian shoulder here with one and only ken buffa
. Hey there, Kristen Alright, Volvo ready for
this. Kristen says it's starting to test electric trucks
with hydrogen powered fuel cells, hydrogen. So the
Swedish automaker says the tech could extend its range for
vehicles to over 600 Miles above all trucks. Also
said that refueling would take under 15 minutes, which
sounds amazing and the customer pilots of the new tech
should begin in the next few years. Roger,
alma president of Volvo trucks said quote hydrogen powered fuel
cell electric trucks will be especially suitable for long distances
and heavy energy demanding assignments. While the technology is
seen as a potentially effective way to lower emissions,
others like Elon musk have dimissed the practical, practical
practicality of the solution. Still, Volvo trucks has
also developed battery electric trucks as well. So it's
interesting that the hydro-powered trucks can get up to 16
miles in range, which sounds amazing in 15 minutes
for charging. That That sounds like a good deal
. It is amazing. And I think that's what's
gonna help scale these right on a mass level is
faster charging 15 minutes super fast. And also when
we talk about what it means for the environment,
many have said that hydrogen powered vehicles actually are better
for the environment even more so than electric vehicles.
So it's just another example can as to how this
technology is evolving over time. I mean it gets
rid of a lot of things. Range anxiety,
charge anxiety in one shot, Sounds good to me 00:01:30.159 --> . Absolutely
