Japanese automaker Toyota will build 10 second-generation hydrogen trucks for the Port of Los Angeles. The trucks can travel 300 miles before refuelling, 100 miles more than the prototype, and come with a 12-kwh battery pack for power storage. The trucks will take cargo from the port to the California town of Ontario where Shell is building hydrogen refuelling facilities. The California Air Resources Board has provided half the $$82 millionm budget, Shell, Toyota and truck maker Kenworth will provide the rest.
