As it stands, hydrogen-powered engines come in two general forms. The first is the fuel cell, which uses hydrogen to generate electricity.  Lighter than their lithium-ion counterparts, whose heavy batteries are impractical for long-distance logistical journeys, hydrogen fuel cells offer longer ranges and shorter recharge times for companies looking to meet zero emissions standards.…
