Hydrogen Combustion is a Dead-End Technology for Heavy-Duty ... An interesting article indeed. Over the past year or so we have seen significant investment into hydrogen combustion by engine manufacturers. Is hydrogen combustion really offering a "bridge" to a dead end or are hydrogen combustion vehicles really a viable long term solution to a cleaner automotive industry?

MAN Truck & Bus SE introduces a limited series of hydrogen-powered trucks, set to revolutionize heavy goods transportation! 🚛✨ The MAN hTGX boasts a powerful 383kW engine and can travel up to 600km on a single fill. With a 56kg tank and quick 15-minute refueling, it's ideal for various applications like construction and tank transport. ⛽️ According to Executive Board Member Friedrich-W. Baumann, "Our familiar and proven technology enables MAN to enter the market early and provide a decisive impetus for the hydrogen infrastructure." Baumann added, "Trucks powered by hydrogen combustion engines are a useful addition for special applications and markets." Dr. Frederik Zohm, Executive Board Member for R&D, highlighted the environmental benefits, stating, "Trucks with hydrogen combustion engines are classified as zero-emission vehicles under EU regulations. Customers can also benefit from toll reductions depending on the country." Exciting times ahead for sustainable transportation! 🌍🌱 #HydrogenTrucks #ZeroEmission #SustainableTransportation #MANTruckAndBus #FutureOfTransport

While electric vehicles (EVs) are often considered the future of transportation, it's crucial to recognize that they may not fully cater to the diverse needs of all consumers due to range limitations and charging times. Enter hydrogen combustion engines as a promising alternative. Despite existing infrastructure and extraction challenges, hydrogen stands out as the world's most abundant element. Companies like INEOS and Hyundai are already delving into hydrogen fuel cell technology. As technology evolves, and alloys better equipped to endure the intense heat of hydrogen combustion emerge, the prospect of green, quick refueling, captivating, powerful engines could be on the horizon. Could this be a welcomed enhancement for traditional ICE performance enthusiasts?

How do hydrogen-powered vehicles work? Before we get to the pros and cons of hydrogen technology for long-haul transport, let’s take a brief look at the technology, which, we have to say, is really cool. We won’t get too geeky here, so check out sites like this to dive deeper into the topic. In simple terms, hydrogen-powered trucks are electric vehicles that generate their own electricity, relying on hydrogen as an essential component. But how? First, compressed hydrogen is pumped into a high-pressure tank and then into a fuel cell, where the gas is split into protons and electrons. Now, reach way back to high school chemistry class for this next part: the electrons generate the electrical energy that powers the vehicle’s electric motor. And the protons turn into water, which is why these vehicles have zero tailpipe emissions. Hydrogen power is as magical as it is simple, which is probably why this technology has been around since the early 19th century. And now that it’s being rigorously tested in real-world situations, it’s looking like a promising clean fuel for the 21st century. Many stakeholders – including us – are excited about the potential of hydrogen-powered trucks for sustainable logistics in the future. That being said, there are pros and cons. https://lnkd.in/dpfTTQhS #nowmorethanever #sustainability #cleanoperations #alternativeenergy

It looks like truck manufacturers are converting to both electric vehicle (EV) technology and hydrogen combustion engines to reduce emissions. EV is the future, and hydrogen is a great way to convert diesel to zero-emission fuel, but can truck manufacturers pursue both simultaneously?
