Fuel Cell

Based on recent announcements from Airbus, hydrogen fuel-cell tech might start replacing jet engines well before the internal-combustion engine gone in cars. 

Hyundai said development of the 670-hp fuel cell powertrain in the N Vision 74 has continued over seven years; it can be refueled in five minutes.

The CR-V will also be the first Honda vehicle to use a new-generation fuel cell stack shared with General Motors—even as GM has backed away from fuel-cell tech for passenger vehicles

Hyperion claims its mobile stations can also be equipped with DC fast-chargers for EVs and can be repositioned as needed to meet real-time demand.

With natural gas and carbon sequestration, Nikola and KeyState aim to claim a top IRA federal incentive that could help its hydrogen fuel-cell truck vision take form.

The organization has previously warned that the DOE's hydrogen hubs might be as dirty as coal if hydrogen were produced from other sources like natural gas.

The coalition will also promote the Midwest as a promising area for hydrogen production, with trucking, rail, aviation, and Great Lakes shipping applications as potential uses.

The diesel ban would apply to all new medium-duty and heavy-duty commercial trucks sold in California beginning in 2040, with some exceptions for certain emergency vehicles.

All the parts for the much-hyped hydrogen fuel-cell truck, which then-CEO Trevor Milton had used to suggest Nikola's technical prowess, were to come from GM, according to a GM engineer's testimony.

The German automaker is using Toyota fuel cells for its hydrogen-powered SUV, but many of the electric-drive components are borrowed from the i4 and iX battery electric models.

Is hydrogen fuel-cell tech better than big batteries, or practical on a large scale where it could help buffer renewable energy? A test power plant from Toyota and the SOE seeks to examine that.

Hydrogen needs to be stored in cylindrical tanks, so it presents far greater packaging challenges than batteries.

The first fuel-cell vehicle from its Genesis luxury brand is also on hold, leading to some speculation about rejiggered priorities.

The truck uses two onboard fuel cells with a 300-kw combined capacity supplied by Cellcentric, a joint venture with Daimler.

The roomy people-mover gets nearly 500 miles of range from a battery pack the size of a base Nissan Leaf—thanks to an additional hydrogen fuel cell.

With wait times long for cleaner new semis, hydrogen fuel cells might be able to get more diesel trucks off the road sooner.

The only place in the Toyota lineup you can get the automaker's most advanced driver-assistance system is in the hydrogen fuel-cell Mirai.

Even in trucking, where the need for large battery packs has been a limiting factor, battery-electric vehicles outnumber fuel-cell vehicles and aren't expected to lose ground—although fuel-cell tech might make sense for some applications.

General Motors is looking to a partnership with a Utah company to commercialize its fuel-cell tech in mobile-generator form.

The plan also includes money for zero-emission vehicle manufacturing, on the way to a 2035 target for a shift entirely to battery-electric and fuel-cell vehicles.
