Under the general trend of global energy conservation and emission reduction, it is imperative for the transportation industry to accelerate the process of carbon reduction and decarbonization. As a key factor in promoting energy transformation and upgrading, hydrogen energy has become the focus of competition between commercial vehicle and internal combustion engine companies for diversified technology research and development around hydrogen fuel. Among them, hydrogen internal combustion engines can not only meet emission reduction requirements, but also be comparable to traditional internal combustion engines in terms of operating costs. This unique advantage makes it stand out in the competition of many new energy power technologies and become a preferred solution for many companies.
At present, Europe is making every effort to promote the development of the hydrogen power industry, and many commercial vehicle manufacturers are paying attention to or have begun feasibility studies on hydrogen internal combustion engines. They generally believe that hydrogen internal combustion engines are a preferred solution with relatively low implementation thresholds and cost-effectiveness.
