Toyota Motor Corp. is collaborating with major motorcycle manufacturer Kawasaki Motors Corp. to develop hydrogen engines for motorcycles and expand their use in and outside of Japan.
Volvo Trucks are running tests of fuel cell electric trucks that only emit water vapour and have an operational range comparable to diesel trucks, up to 1,000 km. A second pilot phase is to follow in a few years’ time and will see customer tests on public roads.
Dutch hydrogen fuel cell system developer zepp.solutions has presented their new 150 kW fuel cell system for heavy-duty applications. Multiple units can be connected in parallel to serve applications up to megawatt scale. The system is available in different configurations for rooftop, engine bay or machine room applications.
After conducting a European tender procedure, the Port of Rotterdam Authority has awarded the contract for the construction of a new pipeline strip along the Moezelweg to Swietelsky Rail Benelux B.V.
Nowadays, green hydrogen is becoming the focus of the global renewable energy industry. By the end of 2020, there were approximately 70 green hydrogen projects under construction around the world, including more than 20 GW-level projects. Last year, Europe released a milestone strategy to support the development of green hydrogen, proposed a development goal of building 6GW of electrolytic green hydrogen capacity by 2024 and nearly 40GW of electrolytic green hydrogen capacity by 2030.
Stadler and San Bernardino County Transit Authority (SBCTA) are presenting Stadler’s fist hydrogen FLIRT at InnoTrans. The FLIRT H2 for SBCTA is Stadler’s newest addition to its alternative drive portfolio. It will start operations in California in 2024 as the first hydrogen train in American passenger transport. The multiple unit is equipped with a modular power pack that is capable of powering four-car train. The power pack accommodates the entire hydrogen technology, from the fuel cells and batteries to the hydrogen tanks. This means that hydrogen technology is spatially clearly separated from the passenger compartments of the train.
Leaders in various industries increasingly realize they must take specific actions to contribute to the gradual decarbonization of society. Mining is one of the sectors in which that’s true.
With the official opening of the AVL Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Test Center on September 19, 2022, AVL is greatly expanding its global test infrastructure for fuel cell and hydrogen technology. The new center at the company’s headquarters in Graz has a maximum capacity of 20 high-performance testbeds, making it one of the largest and most advanced test sites for fuel cells and electrolysis systems in the world. With this investment, AVL strengthens its role as a pioneer for the extensive development of fuel cells as well as innovative technologies for hydrogen production.
