Most of the big rigs travelling those highways run on diesel. But beginning next year, two of the trucks making that busy Alberta run will be powered by hydrogen — a pilot project that will test the technology against Canadian weather, distances and terrain.
"This is just the natural place to really start to push that envelope and to prove [the] concept," said Chris Nash, president of the Alberta Motor Transport Association, which is leading the $20 million project. "If it works here, it works anywhere."

I think this is the easiest sector to access and implement for the greatest gains. I just don't see an EV long haul truck making much sense, yet they are a huge source of emissions. Save the EV's for the short trips. Build hydrogen filling stations along the TCH, with one every 500km or so, that's only about 160 stations, and maybe 100 if you stick to the busiest lengths.
