Chevy ZH2, Fuel cell powered truck

WYDI?
The truck was developed by GM (GM) in cooperation with the United States Army's Tank Automotive Research and Development Center (TARDEC), headquartered near Detroit. Underneath its camouflaged Kevlar-reinforced carbon fiber skin, the ZH2 is based on the GM's Chevrolet Colorado mid-sized pickup.
Hydrogen gas could also be made form any sources on hand wherever the truck happens to be, he said. It takes about 3 minutes to fill the fuel tank, according to GM. With five to six kilograms of hydrogen -- about 12 pounds -- the ZH2 can go about 200 to 300 miles, said Charlie Freese, executive director for GM's fuel cell business. It could go as far as 400 miles with a hydrogen tank optimized for longer range, he explained.
"Our machine will take JP8, which is the common military fuel, and convert it right into hydrogen," said Butrico. Where ever it goes, it can make its own fuel.

Seems like it would take a lot of energy to strip long chain hydrocarbons.

Yeah it would have to be more practical in regards to hauling otherwise it's just another Tahoe.

When has that ever stopped anyone from buying a GM product?
remember that time ppl died on the highway when their keys fell out of the ignition? I'm sure we can trust those same engineers to build a safe fuel cell

Maybe a single soldier can man a gun back there.

They might as well out the fuel cells in a saddlebag design.
