Chart Industries is combining its liquid hydrogen expertise with Hyzon Motors’ zero emission vehicle manufacturing experience to develop a liquid hydrogen-powered heavy-duty truck with a range of up to 1,000 miles.
Formalising the collaboration today (6th July), the duo said they hope to revolutionise long-haul trucking with the use of liquid hydrogen – something that Daimler Trucks is also exploring.
Through utilising liquid hydrogen in place of gaseous hydrogen, Chart and Hyzon hope to benefit from numerous advantages, such as extended mile ranges and improved payload capacity.
That being said, one of the challenges is integrating mobile tanks that store liquid hydrogen, which require temperatures of –423 °F, with a vehicle’s fuel cell that requires ambient temperature hydrogen gas.
