Default US Army to test fuel-cell powered Colorado

Re: https://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/...till-might-be/

In 2017, the U.S. Army will begin testing a heavily modified Chevrolet Colorado pickup, the Colorado ZH2, powered by a removable hydrogen fuel cell assembly that can also provide electric power to remote bases. As for the Colorado ZH2 itself, Chevrolet claims the truck will deliver near-silent operation and a reduced thermal signature, while producing only water for emissions.

Thought by now they would have mastered large scale fuel cell technology, where one just adds water and electric current it flowing again. Pretty sure there are functioning scale models of these at Jaycar.
