California-based Verne has revealed the world's first cryo-compressed hydrogen power truck, showcased at the AMTA Expo in Edmonton. The truck operates at 300 bar and cryogenic temperatures, doubling hydrogen storage density compared to traditional systems. This innovation, highlighted by Verne's COO Bav Roy, offers double the range without compromising payload or cost, positioning the storage tank conveniently on the truck similar to where a diesel tank would be placed. The truck features the DTI hydrogen diesel system, facilitating fleet trials of hydrogen fuel with no need for additional infrastructure investments, and incorporates dual fuel engine technology for enhanced range. Verne plans to conduct trials, including commercial pilots with various engine technologies, partnering with manufacturers in the U.S. and Canada. The truck will undergo rigorous testing in both hot and cold conditions, funded by Alberta Innovates through the Hydrogen Center of Excellence Program. Overall, the sentiment of the article towards hydrogen is positive, emphasizing the potential of cryo-compressed hydrogen technology in revolutionizing transportation and reducing environmental impact.
