Volvo is set to revolutionize heavy transport with the introduction of hydrogen ICE trucks, starting on-road demonstrations in 2026 and a global launch by 2030. These trucks aim to address the increasing need for sustainable transport solutions and offer zero-emission technologies. By utilizing High-Pressure Direct Injection (HPDI) technology from Westport Fuel Systems, Volvo plans to inject a small quantity of ignition fuel before using hydrogen as the primary fuel, enabling the trucks to fall under the EU Zero Emission Vehicles category for CO2 emissions. The collaboration between Volvo and Westport Fuel Systems focuses on developing and marketing HPDI technology for the hydrogen ICE trucks. With over 6,000 HPDI trucks running on liquefied natural gas (LNG), Volvo leverages this expertise to enhance power and torque by 15-20% compared to diesel engines, potentially improving the efficiency and capabilities of future hydrogen ICE trucks. Volvo acknowledges the need for a diversified approach to decarbonization and offers a range of solutions including electric, hydrogen fuel cell, and now hydrogen ICE trucks to meet various market demands and infrastructure availability. By partnering with Westport Fuel Systems and other industry experts, Volvo aims to lead in sustainable transportation solutions and contribute to reducing CO2 emissions in the heavy-duty vehicle sector. While hydrogen ICE trucks may not be the ultimate solution, they represent Volvo's commitment to developing innovative and sustainable transportation solutions for a greener future.
