Cummins Is Developing A Hydrogen-Powered Engine Capable Of Delivering 530 Horsepower. The New Engine Will Be Used In On-Road Trucks Weighing Up To 44 Tons.

The Cummins portfolio includes clean technologies for decarbonization throughout the production process and across all business areas with green hydrogen solutions, which is currently considered the fuel of the future. Proof of this is that the North American company will launch the X15H hydrogen engine worldwide starting in 2026. The internal combustion engine has the capability to deliver up to 530 horsepower and a torque of up to 265 mkgf.

The hydrogen engine will be installed in on-road trucks with a GVW of up to 44 tons, which will have a range of one thousand kilometers fueled by 80 kg of the fuel. Hydrogen does not emit CO2 and is one of Cummins’ bets to eliminate its emissions.

The new hydrogen engine is part of the company’s sustainability strategy globally referred to as Planet 2050. Despite being a large initiative, which also involves technical and manufacturing centers, the plan focuses on Destination Zero, that is, using cleaner technologies in its products that will be of great importance for the decarbonization of commercial vehicles in the country and in all countries where the brand is present.

This company innovation will take on a more intelligent role, generating greater flexibility and reducing cost and development time, given that it was designed to replace diesel engines while maintaining the powertrain, using technologies that fleet managers and operators are accustomed to.

The result will be a greater capacity for truck manufacturers and fleet operators to customize their fuel solutions to mitigate carbon emissions.

According to the Latin America leader for New Power business, Fábio Magrin, Cummins is exploring various paths, including the use of the agnostic engine in the short and medium term, believing that the future lies in electrification and fuel cells, both for the transportation sector and for industrial use.

Cummins’ commitment to decarbonization goes beyond simply offering a hydrogen engine. Thus, the goal is to become an essential agent in replacing diesel with cleaner fuels.

Cummins Launches Concept Truck With 500 Km Range

Recently, Cummins presented at the IAA Transportation in Germany, a concept truck powered by green hydrogen called B6.7H (H2-ICE).

The vehicle has a gross weight between 10 and 26 tons to operate with hydrogen fuel, with an operational range of up to 500 km.

The Cummins H2-ICE project used a truck commonly found in distribution transport. The hydrogen conversion work did not interfere with the truck’s performance or load capacity.

According to the Sales Director On-Highway of Cummins Brazil, Antonio Almeida, the replacement of diesel with the 6.7-liter hydrogen engine and the integration with the existing transmission highlights Cummins’ ability to provide a zero-carbon solution for fleets.
