Cryogenic hydrogen SCG Boot off-roader aims to recast fuel cell tech

Trying to race 1,200 miles (1,931 km) of notoriously harsh, prickly desert is difficult in itself. Developing a first-of-its-kind zero-emissions fuel cell off-roader to complete the task is more difficult still. Skipping common compressed-gas hydrogen … Continue reading Cryogenic hydrogen SCG Boot off-roader aims to recast fuel cell tech

Fuel-cell NepShuttle could soon carry passengers on French waterways

For people living in coastal regions or along rivers, commuting to certain places by water is always going to be quicker than using land-based transit. The fuel-cell-powered NepShuttle is designed to let them continue to do so, while minimizing their c… Continue reading Fuel-cell NepShuttle could soon carry passengers on French waterways

Swiss smart yacht points solar-hydrogen power toward “limitless” range

Combining two forms of sustainable energy into one range-extending propulsion system, Swiss Sustainable Yachts’ clean, quiet catamaran promises to jumpstart a future in which the word “range” becomes obsolete. The 64-footer harnesses solar energy to cr… Continue reading Swiss smart yacht points solar-hydrogen power toward “limitless” range

Gaussin to take world’s first hydrogen race truck to the Dakar in 2022

French company Gaussin is pushing hard on hydrogen-based long-haul trucking, playing up hydrogen’s excellent range figures and quick refuelling times as a benefit over heavy, slow-charging batteries. It’s developing a flexible skateboard chassis you ca… Continue reading Gaussin to take world’s first hydrogen race truck to the Dakar in 2022

Hydrogen-powered ambulance drives into Glasgow ahead of London trial

Back in February, ULEMCo and industry partners announced plans to design an electric rapid response ambulance for the UK’s NHS Trust that would run on batteries and hydrogen fuel cells. Now, the working prototype has driven into Glasgow to give global … Continue reading Hydrogen-powered ambulance drives into Glasgow ahead of London trial

Ineos exploring hydrogen and electric versions of £48K Grenadier 4×4

British petrochemical giant-cum-4×4 builder Ineos is pushing hydrogen as a leading solution for the UK’s green energy revolution. Its work will include experimenting with a Grenadier 4×4 powered by a Hyundai fuel cell system. Ineos will look to offer t… Continue reading Ineos exploring hydrogen and electric versions of £48K Grenadier 4×4

New BASF membrane adds 50% more power to HyPoint hydrogen fuel cells

HyPoint’s aviation-targeted fuel cells were already promising three times the power of a regular fuel cell by weight, but thanks to a new proton-conductive membrane developed in partnership with BASF, their power density is set to jump by another 50 pe… Continue reading New BASF membrane adds 50% more power to HyPoint hydrogen fuel cells

Tevva looks to clean up freight haulage with range-extended electric truck

Diesel-powered freight haulage is a dirty business, and we’ve seen a number of truck makers try to clean up the industry’s act, including big names like Daimler, Volvo and Renault, but also newcomers such as Volta and Rivian. The UK’s Terra is going fo… Continue reading Tevva looks to clean up freight haulage with range-extended electric truck

Ultralight foam-core runabout squeezes mileage out of small fuel cell

A cleaner, zero-emissions fuel cell-electric powertrain is one way of lessening a vehicle’s impact, and cutting the vehicle’s weight so that the powertrain can push the vehicle farther every fill-up is another. And with less weight, you can shrink the … Continue reading Ultralight foam-core runabout squeezes mileage out of small fuel cell
