So little detail in the article, but I think this is a hydrogen combustion engine. The Achilles heel for these is fuel storage, it's far more bulky than a H2 fuel cell electric drive.

Next issue is where to fuel it? 3 locations in all of BC. None of them on the water.

Same as vehicles, who and where for supply and storage.
