Test driving the H2-ICE demo truck

Описание: The SwRI-led H2-ICE consortium developed a hydrogen-fueled Class-8 demonstration vehicle with a hydrogen internal combustion engine (H2-ICE). Southwest Research Institute’s Ryan Williams, manager of spark-ignited engine R&D, demonstrates the vehicle on SwRI’s automotive test track.
Williams explains how the H2-ICE demonstration truck retains the convenience and cost benefits of internal combustion engines while almost eliminating carbon emissions at the tailpipe.

SwRI helped developed the demo truck through a joint industry project, forming the H2-ICE consortium with members from across the automotive industry including engine & truck manufacturers, fuel & lubricant providers, and Tier-I suppliers. The members supported the vehicle development through financial contributions, technical guidance and by providing prototype components for the vehicle.

The truck offers a research platform that will allow for the launch of the next phase of R&D. The H2-ICE2 consortium will focus on gathering more emissions data, vehicle performance metrics, measuring towing capability and fuel economy. H2-ICE2 will run through 2026. The consortium will explore safety and on-board diagnostics to advance H2-ICE technology with an emphasis on finding a pathway to market.
