So don't do it all at one time? Just replace them as they age out

Then you keep burning diesel in the old trucks. That's what this solution is meant to resolve.

If you replace them, you lower diesel emissions over time. This isn't going to be an overnight thing.

Haha, apparently lol. I'm all for more environmentally friendly solutions, but it's also just not financially feasible to do it all at once.

it may be a lot more financially (and environmentally) feasible to retrofit existing motors and trucks. There may also be an environmental case for using these kind of engines in the future, depending on the ecological and financial cost of manufacture for a fully hydrogen version

Or you could do it cheaper by retrofitting trucks you own.
