Assuming they can get a supply of Hydrogen, I'd say it's probably better for most of their routes than going BEV. It offers better energy density, so in theory it can have a considerably longer range for the same weight.
The 'recharge' time is also considerably faster than BEVs, almost as fast as diesel.
The downside of course is the efficiency, it 'costs' electricity to make hydrogen, and then to convert it back to electricity. I believe efficiency is somewhere around the 30% mark, but the increase in density more than outweighs that.
Plus, if the initial electricity for creating the hydrogen is from renewables such as solar, then it is still very clean.
