Missed opportunity to name these “energon cubes”

I’m becoming less of a hydrogen guy and more of an ammonia guy. Liquid ammonia seems easier to deal with than hydrogen gas.
It is, but a leak could kill you. So 🤷♂️
What tech does this use? Is the hydrogen compressed or captured into a temporary sink?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Autocar, based in Birmingham, Ala., is a 126-year-old manufacturer of Class 7 and 8 work vehicles, including garbage trucks, cement mixers, terminal tractors, and more.
The company’s Hydrotec power cubs are lightweight, GM said, which enable large payloads, excellent range, and quick refueling.
Despite the technology having been in development for decades, there are only a little more than 50 fueling stations in California, mostly clustered around Los Angeles and the Bay Area.
The East Coast is trying to get in on the action, with a handful of stations up and running, and more in the works in New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island.
Overcoming this challenge is important for light-duty vehicles because they often have limited size and weight capacity for fuel storage.
The hydrogen-powered generators are being sold to commercial and military customers to start out, but the automaker said it plans on offering versions for residential use in the future.
