Testing has shown that directly injecting hydrogen in an internal combustion engine can bring certain advantages over fuel cells. For more, we sat down with Scott Baker, VP, product development and technology officer with the new Westport/Volvo joint venture.
Some of the world's biggest truckmakers, including Volvo and MAN, are reworking combustion engines to run on low-emission hydrogen instead of polluting diesel, a quicker low-cost fix to their energy transition challenge that may give the dying technology a fresh lease of life.
Natural gas can help lower overall greenhouse gas emissions and also significantly reduce local health impacts from air pollutants like nitrogen oxides and particulate matter.
Both Volvo and Scania are investing in combustion engines powered by hydrogen. Fuel system manufacturer Westport claims significant progress in their own tests.
Westport Fuel Systems said it has successfully completed a real-world evaluation of its hydrogen-powered internal combustion engine technology in Sweden.
The technology leverages existing diesel engine manufacturing infrastructure for affordability and scalability. Westport sees hydrogen ICE trucks as a viable near-term solution for decarbonizing the trucking industry.
