Verne Unveils Revolutionary Cryo-Compressed Hydrogen Truck in Alberta's Industry Expo
Key Ideas
- Verne's CcH2 truck offers double the hydrogen storage density by operating at 350 bar and cryogenic temperatures, enabling extended range or reduced tank capacity for fleets.
- The dual-fuel system with DTI's Guardian hydrogen-diesel technology allows seamless integration for fleets without additional infrastructure investments, providing greater range flexibility.
- Verne plans to conduct trials and commercial pilots with various hydrogen technologies, partnering with vehicle manufacturers in the U.S. and Canada to optimize performance and efficiency.
- The company aims to address cost competitiveness by focusing on reducing hydrogen delivery costs to promote broader adoption of hydrogen fuel in the transportation sector.
Verne, a hydrogen technology company, introduced the 'world’s first' cryo-compressed hydrogen (CcH2) truck at the Alberta Motor Transport Association’s Industry Innovations Expo in Edmonton. Operating at 350 bar and cryogenic temperatures, the CcH2 truck achieves double the hydrogen storage density of traditional systems, offering extended range or reduced tank capacity. Verne's co-founder Bav Roy highlighted the benefits of the cryo-compression process, emphasizing the potential for fleets to double their range or maintain the same distance with half the tank capacity. The dual-fuel system with DTI's Guardian hydrogen-diesel technology enables fleets to trial hydrogen fuel without additional infrastructure investments, catering to customer needs for greater range flexibility. Verne plans to demonstrate the capabilities of CcH2 through trials and commercial pilots, aiming to optimize performance and efficiency in partnership with vehicle manufacturers. Additionally, the company is focusing on reducing hydrogen delivery costs to enhance cost competitiveness with diesel, ultimately promoting broader adoption of hydrogen fuel in the transportation sector.
