The Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) has launched the H2-ICE2 consortium, focusing on advancing sustainable mobility through innovative hydrogen engine technology. Following the successful development of a hydrogen-powered heavy-duty vehicle in 2024, the consortium aims to refine performance and efficiency with the new iteration. By leveraging existing production infrastructure, the consortium demonstrates the commercial viability of hydrogen-powered vehicles for the transportation industry. Real-world trials will assess the truck's capacity to deliver performance, manage heat, and sustain efficiency under different operational conditions. Members will collaborate to address technical challenges and improve the vehicle's functionality, with the ultimate goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. The consortium's holistic approach emphasizes vehicle-based solutions, aiming to drive the adoption of zero-emission technologies in the heavy trucking sector.
