Volvo Trucks is developing trucks with combustion engines that run on hydrogen. On-road tests with trucks using hydrogen in combustion engines will begin in 2026, and the commercial launch is planned towards the end of this decade.
수소 구동 연소 엔진을 장착한 볼보 트럭에는 수소가 추가되기 전에 소량의 점화 연료를 고압으로 분사하여 압축 점화를 가능하게 하는 기술인 고압 직접 분사(HPDI) 기능이 탑재됩니다. 이 기술의 장점은 연료 소비를 낮추면서 에너지 효율을 높이고 엔진 출력을 높인다는 것입니다.
볼보그룹은 Westport Fuel Systems와 HPDI 기술을 활용한 합작회사 설립 계약을 체결했습니다. 합작 투자는 공식 종료 후 2024년 XNUMX분기에 운영될 것으로 예상됩니다.
Trucks that run on green hydrogen instead of fossil fuels provide one way to decarbonize transport. Hydrogen trucks will be especially suitable over longer distances and in regions where there is limited charging infrastructure, or time for, recharging of batteries, the company said.
Volvo will begin customer tests with trucks using hydrogen in combustion engines in 2026, and the trucks will be commercially available towards the end of this decade. Already, testing in labs and in vehicles is ongoing.
The hydrogen-powered combustion engine trucks will complement Volvo’s offering of other alternatives, such as battery electric trucks, fuel cell electric trucks and trucks that run on renewable fuels, such as biogas and HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil).
Volvo trucks with combustion engines powered by green hydrogen have the potential to deliver net zero CO2 well-to-wheel when using renewable HVO as ignition fuel and are categorized as “Zero Emission Vehicles” (ZEV) under the agreed new EU CO2 배출 기준.
It’s clear that several kinds of technology are needed to decarbonize heavy transport. As a global truck manufacturer, we need to support our customers by offering a variety of decarbonization solutions, and customers can choose their alternative based on transport assignment, available infrastructure and green energy prices.
