Looking into the future, FPT Industrial is working to develop Hydrogen Fuel Cell technology, which could lead to new zero emission solutions designed for heavy duty transport – both long haulage goods delivery and long-distance/intercity passenger transport.
At the IVECO stand at IAA 2018, the brand presented a Hydrogen Fuel Cell Concept Powertrain, featuring an electric engine and a fuel cell sustained with Hydrogen. The technology is promising with its high-density capabilities, potentially modular and outstanding environmental credentials. The H₂ can also be paramount in the development of a circular economy, because it can be locally produced through renewable sources from biomethane, wind or solar energy.
The project from FPT’s Research & Development team aims to study, test and overcome constraints to make hydrogen a real enabler in the mission of achieving zero emission for all high energy demanding applications.
