Donaldson, a company specializing in air filter technology, announced that its advanced filters will be utilized in Daimler's Freightliner SuperTruck III project, focusing on developing a hydrogen fuel cell truck demonstrator. The SuperTruck program, supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, aims to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions in heavy-duty long-haul trucks. Previous phases (SuperTruck I and II) optimized diesel engines, while the current project targets fuel cell technology. Donaldson highlighted that the experience gained from this project will drive the adoption of hydrogen fuel cell applications in other on-highway vehicles. Daimler Truck North America secured $26 million in funding from the DOE for this endeavor, showcasing a significant investment in sustainable transportation solutions.
