Hundreds of semitrailer trucks zipping along North American highways are now powered in part by hydrogen. These 18-wheelers make hydrogen as they go, eliminating the need for high-pressure, cryogenic storage tanks or hydrogen filling stations, which, by the way, don't yet exist.

These truckers aren't just do-gooders. They like Canadian Hydrogen Energy's Hydrogen Fuel Injection, or HFI, system because it lets them save fuel, get more horsepower and, as a bonus, cause less pollution.

There was a story on this on NewsWorld last year. Combining this technology with eco-diesel would be a huge environmetal boost, as well as saving money. I wonder why farm equipment manufacturers and retailers don't seem to be jumping on board.
