A liquid-hydrogen trailer is a trailer designed to carry cryogenic liquid hydrogen (LH2) on roads being pulled by a powered vehicle. The largest such vehicles are similar to railroad tanktainers which are also designed to carry liquefied loads. Liquid-hydrogen trailers tend to be large; they are insulated. Some are semi-trailers.Semi trailer hydrogen tanker truck
History The U-1 semi-trailer was a liquid-hydrogen trailer designed in the 1950s to carry cryogenic liquid hydrogen (LH2) on roads being pulled by a powered vehicle. It was constructed by the Cambridge Corporation and had a capacity of with a hydrogen loss rate of approximately 2 percent per day. The U-1 was a single-axle semi-trailer. The specifications for its successor the U-2, a double axle semi-trailer, were issued on 15 March 1957.NASA-LIQUID HYDROGEN AS A PROPULSION FUEL, 1945–1959
