They won't, why would they? The number of hydrogen gas stations is going down and the price is going up. Batteries are good enough already - the Mercedes eActros 600 with its 600 kWh battery has a range of 500 km.

Hydrogen was marketed as a stopgap until batteries are good enough. Well, batteries are good enough for trucks now:

Once you go battery electric, you never go back. It's the most efficient way to move vehicles.
