I had wondered why this hadn't been done already. Decades ago, a scientist showed an adaptation of a simple ICE engine to run on hydrogen. It was noisy, but it worked. This presents another option for cleaner transportation. "Lexus revs up hydrogen engine in wicked ROV off-roader concept "

"Lexus teased the ROV during a previous presentation and revealed it in full this week" Lexus I'm feeling lazy tonight, so read the rest of the story at the link below.

Most of the fuel cell designs work best if the very high temperatures involved don't have to cool down and reheat. The thermal expansion and contraction damages the fuel cell, in most designs. Hyundai seems to have overcome this. Their cars being sold in California that use a hydrogen fuel cell, seem to do this just fine.
For the other fuel cell designs, if the forklift, can continue to be used by the swing shift and the graveyard shift and never needs to turn off, they will work well. The same could work for commercial semi-trucks. With a pony express method like the union trucking companies use, (UPS is one), the truck can be used continually by different drivers for different trips.
