New Delhi: Hyzon Motors Inc., a number one world provider of zero-emission hydrogen gasoline cell-powered industrial autos, stated that it has developed new onboard hydrogen storage system know-how able to lowering the load and manufacturing price of business autos powered by Hyzon’s hydrogen gasoline cells.
The brand new patent-pending onboard hydrogen storage system know-how integrates light-weight composite supplies with the system’s metallic body. It has the potential to cut back the general weight of the system by 43%, storage system prices by 52% and the required manufacturing element rely by 75%, primarily based on a single-rack system with capability to retailer 5 hydrogen cylinders, the corporate stated in a launch on Thursday.
“Hyzon is dedicated to steady innovation in our zero-emission industrial autos, down to each element, enabling our prospects to make the change to hydrogen from diesel with out compromise,” Hyzon CEO Craig Knight stated.
“After years of analysis and improvement alongside our companions, this new storage know-how optimizes the constructing price of our hydrogen gasoline cell-powered industrial autos, whereas lowering total weight and growing mileage capabilities. This makes Hyzon autos an much more engaging different to heavy autos powered by combustion engines,” he added.

Along with lowering the load and prices, the storage system might be configured to carry various numbers of hydrogen tanks. The smallest model can maintain 5 tanks, and might be prolonged to seven tanks due to its modular design. A separate model can maintain ten tanks, acceptable for vans driving longer distances. Whereas these two choices are mounted behind the cab, a 3rd storage system permits for a further two tanks to be mounted to every facet of the truck, extending the automobile’s vary with out diminishing the scale of the trailer, the discharge stated.
The event of this know-how was a cross-Atlantic collaboration between Hyzon Europe and Hyzon US, with the corporate planning to supply this new system in its Rochester, NY, and Groningen, the Netherlands, services. The know-how will probably be applied in Hyzon’s autos world-wide, the discharge stated.
The corporate additionally expects to license this new system to different industrial automobile firms. As a part of the Hyzon Zero Carbon Alliance, a world consortium of firms lively alongside the hydrogen worth chain, unique gear producers (OEMs) are anticipated to have entry to the know-how.
The brand new know-how has already been put in in pilot vans in Europe and is predicted to be deployed throughout all autos starting This fall 2021, the discharge added.
Each blue and, finally, inexperienced hydrogen is critical to drive the virtuous cycle for increasing the hydrogen financial system.
