Donaldson Company, Inc. has announced a partnership with Daimler Truck North America (DTNA) to work on the hydrogen fuel cell project for the next-generation Freightliner SuperTruck III. The SuperTruck program, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), is focused on improving fuel efficiency and reducing emissions in heavy-duty Class 8 long haul trucks. While the earlier SuperTruck projects concentrated on optimizing diesel engines, the latest initiative involves developing a hydrogen fuel cell truck demonstrator. DTNA has received $26 million from the DOE to support this project. Keith Bechtum, the vice president of OEM sales in Donaldson's mobile solutions division, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration, highlighting the companies' history of working together on filtration solutions for DTNA's commercial vehicles. Donaldson anticipates that the knowledge gained through the SuperTruck III program will play a crucial role in promoting the adoption of hydrogen fuel cell applications in various on-highway settings. This partnership exemplifies a dedication to innovation and sustainability in the commercial vehicle sector, emphasizing the significance of advanced air filter technology in advancing hydrogen-powered transportation.
