Cummins Unveils Zero-Carbon Hydrogen Truck at IAA Transportation Expo
Key Ideas
  • Cummins showcased a medium-duty H2-ICE truck at the IAA Transportation exhibition in Hannover, Germany, running on a B6.7H hydrogen fuel internal combustion engine.
  • The truck offers a range of up to 310 miles with specs including 290 hp (216 kW) and 1200 Nm peak torque, making it a promising step towards greener transportation.
  • Features include high-capacity hydrogen storage tanks developed in partnership with NPROXX, fuel-agnostic platforms for various fuel options, and advanced fuel delivery systems.
  • The transition to hydrogen technology for vehicles in the 10 to 26-ton class is seen as a cost-effective and efficient way to accelerate fleet decarbonization in the trucking industry.
At the IAA Transportation exhibition in Hannover, Germany, Cummins Inc. unveiled its new concept vehicle, a medium-duty H2-ICE truck powered by a B6.7H hydrogen fuel internal combustion engine. The conversion to hydrogen fuel showcases a positive step towards a greener future with zero-carbon emissions. The truck has a decent range of 310 miles, offering 290 hp (216 kW) and 1200 Nm peak torque. Notable features include high-capacity hydrogen storage tanks, fuel-agnostic platforms for different fuel options, and advanced fuel delivery systems. The partnership with NPROXX resulted in storage tanks that have a working pressure of 700 bar, offering a premium strength-to-weight ratio. The development also includes a larger X15H hydrogen engine designed for longer-distance haulage. The transition to hydrogen technology is highlighted as a cost-effective way to accelerate fleet decarbonization in the trucking industry. Cummins' innovative approach signals a promising future for sustainable transportation.
