GM and auto car industries have agreed to collaborate on the development of the vehicles
General motors and auto car industries have jointly announced that they will be working together on the development of H two powered heavy vehicles equipped
with G M's hydrotech hydrogen fuel cells. The companies will be collaborating on the heavy vehicles powered by the hydrotech units
The hydrogen fuel cells will be installed in heavy vehicles such as dump trucks
garbage trucks, cement mixers, terminal tractors and road maintenance vehicles that would conventionally be powered by diesel engines
The first of those vehicles are expected to go into production in auto cars
Birmingham Alabama plant in 2026. We want to enable zero tailpipe emissions solutions for the largest highest energy consuming
vehicles and fuel cells are ideal for the most energy intensive applications
Said Charlie F Freeze, executive director of G M's hydrotech. In a media statement
hydrotech power cubes comprising over 300 hydrogen fuel cells will be installed in the vehicles
Hydro tech's job in the collaboration will be to provide the power cubes as well as thermal and power management systems and proprietary controls
Each power cube consists of more than 300 H two fuel cells and provides 77 kilowatts of power
As a growing number of operators seek to decarbonize. A growing focus is being directed toward H two for its use in powering trucks and
vans. This is particularly true in areas where battery electric vehicles aren't feasible due to the need for power range and rapid refueling
While the majority of the passenger vehicle industry has gone in the direction of battery electric cars
In the zero emission category, the same cannot be said about heavier duty vehicles with far greater demands than what current battery technology can realistically
provide as regulations change. We see hydrotech fuel cells as an additional avenue for our customers to meet their environmental protection agency requirements
with zero tailpipe emissions vehicles said a statement from Eric Schwartz, president of aer industries
vehicles equipped with hydrogen fuel cells have considerably longer ranges and can refuel in minutes timing similar to diesel refueling with which most operators
are already familiar. That's it for now. Make sure to hit, subscribe and grab our free H two E book
