Hydrogen powered fuel cell electric trucks on the move


There is no one-size-fits-all-universal solution for the electrification of heavy commercial vehicles. One of the technology options that manufacturer Scania has explored with the Norwegian wholesaler ASKO is a fuel cell electric truck powered by hydrogen gas.

 

This venture now goes into the next phase with four trucks being put into real operation in a pilot that is one of the first of its kind.

 

In the four trucks deployed in ASKO’s operations, the internal combustion engine in the powertrain is replaced by an electric machine, powered by electricity from fuel cells fed with hydrogen and from rechargeable batteries. The rest of the powertrain is composed of the same standard components used in hybrid trucks. (ben)
