As per New Atlas, the truck is claimed to be "the world's first ammonia-powered, zero-emissions semi-truck" and it can store about 900kWh of power.

With a refill time of around eight minutes, it's easy to see why this truck has the potential to become a favorite among industry members.

According to experts, ammonia is better when it comes to storing hydrogen compared to hydrogen itself and it could be used by some industries that require high energy-density, such as shipping or trucking, for example.

Ammonia has two main advantages over hydrogen, first being that it is a liquid that can be stored at ambient temperature and pressure level, making it significantly easier to store, transport and handle.

Then comes energy density and ammonia is said to be carrying three times as much power as hydrogen by volume and over 20 times more compared to lithium-ion batteries.

It can also be produced in a clean way, without releasing climate-damaging or dangerous emissions in the process and despite having its own disadvantages, it is an alternative for specific applications.

The truck will be evaluated with regards to its performance later this month on a test track to see how feasible this kind of technology really is.
