DETROIT - GM and Honda have started production of hydrogen fuel cells that will power commercial trucks, heavy equipment, generators, and to a lesser extent, passenger vehicles, Motortrend reported. The fuel-cell modules being built by the joint venture in a Brownstown, Michigan, plant will be used in a hydrogen-powered Honda CR-V that will debut in March
SYDNEY - Australian innovation company Star Scientific has begun commercialising a new technology that turns room-temperature hydrogen and oxygen into steady 700°C heat, with the only output being pure water. The Hydrogen Energy Release Optimiser, known as Hero, uses a globally patented catalyst that quickly heats up in the presence of H2 and O2 and then reverts
NEW MEXICO - The Los Alamos National Laboratory introduced a corrosion-resistant fuel cell design featuring a coaxial nanowire electrode. This innovative approach holds promise for heavy-duty trucking, showing impressive durability in stress tests. A groundbreaking fuel cell design offers potential advancements for heavy-duty trucking and various other clean fuel cell applications. A promising, more durable
STUTTGART, Germany – Bosch is entering the hydrogen age of mobility. At its Stuttgart-Feuerbach location, the supplier of technology and services has now begun volume production of its fuel-cell power module. Nikola Corporation, based in the United States, will serve as the pilot customer with its Class 8 hydrogen fuel cell electric truck, which is
SWEDEN - Swedish auto-manufacturer Volvo Trucks has started testing long-haul trucks powered by hydrogen fuel cells that only emit water vapor, the company announced this week. The trucks will be able to tow 65 tons, travel around 1000 km (620 miles) and fuel up in less than 15 minutes, the company said. They hope to begin selling the trucks
WATERLOO, Ontario - Advancements in zero-emission fuel cells could make the technology cheap enough to replace traditional gasoline engines in vehicles, according to researchers at the University of Waterloo. The researchers have developed a new fuel cell that lasts at least 10 times longer than current technology, an improvement that would make them economically practical,
