Its just not aiming for the right markets. Its perfect for replacing heavy fuel user where fueling up is already restricted to limited locations like diesel generator trains, massive 18 wheelers and boats, but not for individual car market.

Or injecting into natural gas. Up to 10% hydrogen is generally tolerated.

Hydrogen is already in development in commercial vehicles.

It's already in production in industrial vehicles such as fork lifts.
