Hydrogen Fuel Cell Truck

A truck can be filled with hydrogen in less than 15 minutes and the process of fuelling a fcev is.

Hydrogen fuel cell truck.

For fuel cells to work on a larger scale. The truck was designed for a 90 kw fuel cell and is scalable in 30 kw or 45 kw increments up to 180 kw andalso has a 100 kwh lithium ion battery capacity. The result even with. A fuel cell truck runs a hybrid powertrain that uses hydrogen to generate the electricity that powers the truck s motors and can concurrently charge the truck s powertrain battery.

While drivers of a nikola hydrogen fuel cell truck won t pay for fuel as a separate line item the cost of fuel is rolled into the cost per mile they pay for the vehicle. Ttsi has used hydrogen fuel cell trucks in its drayage operation for nearly 10 years and has experienced firsthand the pros and cons of this technology. The first train with two cars and a rooftop power pack containing fuel cells and hydrogen tanks will run on a 9 mile commuter rail line between san bernardino and redlands under a contract. The truck was designed and integrated by cummins in columbus indiana and includes a proton exchange membrane pem fuel cell from hydrogenics a recent addition to cummins.

The hydrogen is stored in multiple large tanks which can be completely filled within 15 to 20 minutes at a pressure of 700 bar. This means that fcevs could be refuelled at existing truck stops across the country and the fuelling experience would be similar. One of the benefits of fcevs is that hydrogen uses a fuelling infrastructure that s similar to conventional trucks.
