Hydrogen was never practical in the consumer space, but I think it still has benefits to offer in the heavy machinery and long-haul transport space. This is why Toyota is investing heavily in the long-haul transport space and is making hydrogen-powered class 8 heavy-duty trucks. As for heavy machinery, it's likely they would license the technology to the major players (Caterpillar, Komatsu, Volvo CE) in that space.
I don't understand why hydrogen was so pushed for when natural gas could have achieved a similar (albeit not perfect) profile, while having more existing access and handling knowledge.
