Project Cavendish, a £9.8 million UK government-funded programme, led by the Advanced Propulsion Centre UK (APC), is driving the adoption of hydrogen combustion in heavy-duty truck engines to accelerate the decarbonisation of the haulage sector. Mahle Powertrain, in collaboration with partners like PHINIA and BorgWarner, is actively involved in the project's testing phase at their Northampton facility. The project aims to leverage hydrogen as an alternative fuel to meet the EU's stringent CO2 reduction standards for heavy-duty vehicles. The UK government's commitment to investing £8.3 billion in the hydrogen industry and significant funds in the carbon capture sector highlights the strategic focus on developing hydrogen infrastructure. This initiative aligns with the transition towards net zero emissions and addresses the need for sustainable energy solutions in the transportation industry. The expanded facilities and upgraded technologies at Mahle Powertrain's Northampton site demonstrate a strong dedication to advancing hydrogen technology, positioning the UK as a key player in the global shift towards cleaner energy sources.
