DETROIT - China’s successful liquid hydrogen aircraft test is more than an aerospace milestone. For Michigan, it may be an early warning shot in the next global manufacturing and mobility race. The state already has billions tied to hydrogen development, fuel-cell research, heavy transportation infrastructure and advanced mobility systems. If hydrogen-powered aviation, trucking and industrial
DETROIT - Commercial trucks, heavy machinery, generators, and, to a lesser extent, passenger cars will be powered by hydrogen fuel cells that GM and Honda have begun producing. The hydrogen-powered Honda CR-V, which will debut in March 2024 and eventually be offered for sale in limited quantities in California, will employ the fuel-cell modules that
NEW YORK – Exxon Mobil, a global energy leader, is making a significant stride towards the Low-Carbon Hydrogen Project for America’s Clean Energy Future. This groundbreaking initiative is a strategic response to the increasing demand for sustainable fuels in industries and transportation. As the project progresses, it will not only create new jobs and economic
As the world evolves, so does the technology driving our lives, literally. Michigan, a cornerstone in automotive innovation, continues to play a role in pushing the boundaries of what cars can do. From AI integration to green energy solutions, the landscape of personal and commercial vehicles is shifting dramatically. Let’s explore six emerging car technologies
Hydrogen is the fuel of the future, surpassing even EVs in interest. However, there are still brands that have yet to be able (or willing) to join this revolution in mobility. Just when Toyota or even Bosch are doing it, a legendary German carmaker has wanted to join: this is Volkswagen’s new proposal to change everything from
LONDON, UK - Hydrogen fuel cell cars emerged as an alternative to both the electric and combustion engine vehicle in the early 2000s. They were widely considered an avenue towards universal green motoring. Powered through a chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen, the only tailpipe emission they produce is water. The technology also promised a
DETROIT - General Motors is finding new markets for its hydrogen fuel cell systems, announcing that it will work with another company to build mobile electricity generators, electric vehicle charging stations and power generators for military camps. The emissions-free generators will be designed to power large commercial buildings in the event of a power outage,
ANN ARBOR—As researchers work toward next-generation electric vehicles, they may be hitting their heads on the ceiling of what lithium ion batteries can deliver. Meanwhile, a team of researchers from the University of Michigan are pushing the performance of a competing electric vehicle technology—hydrogen fuel cells—to new heights. A hydrogen fuel cell is a zero-harmful-emissions
SOUTHFIELD - Environmental and Technical Controls Inc. hopes to build a $24 million plant on Detroit’s east side to supply hydrogen fuel cell power systems pending land approval from the Detroit City Council. The 150,000 square foot plant would manufacture fuel cells and components as well as research and development, warehousing and distribution. GEI’s technology
