There are two main technologies that are expected to solve this problem in the near future. battery operated electric trucks and hydrogen fuel cell trucks. First of all, hydrogen is expected to be used for the near future. ideal solution It was thought that this would happen, but the great advances made in battery technology and falling costs in recent years have made this prediction impossible. had shaken.
However, recent tests with hydrogen-powered trucks have shown that this technology its potential brought it to the agenda again. It works with hydrogen fuel cells of the American company Accelera by Cummins. H2Rescue The truck named was able to attract attention. This prototype, developed with the support of the US Department of Energy and various federal agencies, is powered by a tank of hydrogen. 2.905 kilometre He broke the Guinness World Record.
Under what circumstances was the record broken?
H2Rescue on public roads in California At a speed of 80-88 km He watched. ambient temperature 15 to 26 degrees It is stated that it varies between . A truck with a 250 kW (340 horsepower) engine has a total fuel tank of 175 kilogram There was hydrogen. While breaking the record 168 kilograms consumed. Throughout the test, everything was checked and approved by the Guinness World Records adjudicator.
And all this goes into the atmosphere a single gram It took place without emitting carbon dioxide (CO2). If the same distance had been traveled by a diesel truck, 301 kilogram carbon dioxide would have been emitted. This type of diesel trucks consumes approximately 6.900 litre fuel consumption and 2.5 metric tons It is estimated to cause greenhouse gas emissions.
H2Rescue, developed as a prototype, 15 ton has weight. emergency interventions, military operations or designed to be used in public services. This record broken by H2Rescue is for the future of the industry. promising It is considered as a step. Advances have been made in the wider adoption of hydrogen technology and zero emissions can play a key role in achieving its goals.
