Obviously if the electricity used to generate hydrogen was green it wouldn't be too bad, but I'd imagine if they had their own on-site generation they'd end up using power from the grid which isn't so green.
The advantage of hydrogen is due to its far superior energy density compared to lithium based batteries the ranges can be a lot further, making them actually usable

When you look at Bamford, the investment in Wrightbus, the work they've already done with hydrogen and this development with JCB - there's seems to be a clear trajectory.
