The Automotive Industry Is Advancing More and More With a Focus on Sustainability. Now MAN, the Truck Manufacturer, Is Developing a Hydrogen Engine.

The MAN, truck manufacturer, is developing a new internal combustion engine that could change the automotive industry. It is a hydrogen engine based on a powerful MAN D38 engine, the new MAN H45 is already in pre-construction. According to the German manufacturer, the new powertrain will be tested in MAN TGX trucks and operates quite similarly to diesel engines present in the market.

Tupy Will Supply Parts to MAN for the Construction of the Hydrogen-Powered Engine

Tupy, a Brazilian company located in Joinville, announced the signing of a contract for the exclusive supply of cylinder heads for the hydrogen engine developed by MAN, used in trucks, the MAN H45, which promises to revolutionize the automotive industry.

The announcement was made by the company last Thursday (4) and according to Tupy, in addition to zero carbon emissions, the engine brings significant NOx reduction compared to the diesel version, being even better than the requirements proposed in EURO VII, which is set to come into effect in 2027 in European countries, and which establishes stricter pollution emission standards.

Scania and MAN Strike Deal to Boost Automotive Industry

In addition to hydrogen engine production, Scania and MAN, companies that are part of the Traton group, will utilize a new modular system starting in 2030 in the automotive industry.

Initially, the vehicles from Scania, Volkswagen, and MAN will share engines, transmissions, chassis, and other technologies. This is already happening in practice, such as the ADAS 2.0 system that uses the same blind spot radars for both MAN and Scania.

The Scania transmissions and engines will be used in MAN trucks until next year. This will also happen in Brazil, where Volkswagen Caminhões e Ônibus will use Scania engines instead of MAN units. The fate of the Cummins engines, which are present in certain products, remains unknown.

Hydrogen Also Arrives in the Aviation Sector

In addition to advancements in the automotive industry with MAN’s hydrogen engine, Zerovia, a company focused on hydrogen electric propulsion solutions, recently received from Alaska Airlines a Bombardier Q400 aircraft with capacity for 76 passengers to be converted with technology that emits no pollutants, as promised a few years ago.

The company is now aiming to advance its plans to test flights of the world’s largest hydrogen-powered aircraft sooner than expected, due to advancements in modular engine systems.

The company plans to commercialize hydrogen-powered aircraft starting in 2025, with a range of 482 km and capacity for 9 to 19 passengers. It is also making plans for flights with larger aircraft with capacity for 40 to 80 passengers and over 1000 km of range by 2027.

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

Under nearly 2 kilometers of ice in Antarctica, scientists have discovered an ancient landscape sculpted by rivers up to 60 million years ago, the size of Wales, preserved as a time capsule that could help predict the advance of ice towards the ocean.

She started by collecting oyster shells from restaurants and today she has already accumulated more than 10 tons to restore reefs, recover coastal habitats, and demonstrate how a common waste can become a tool for ocean conservation.

SpaceX will dock a $843 million vehicle to the International Space Station to push a nearly 420-ton laboratory against the atmosphere and make the debris fall in a controlled manner into the ocean.

For the economist José Kobori, the USA gained a trump card to “blackmail” Brazil and undermine China’s influence by classifying the PCC and Comando Vermelho as terrorists, increasing the power to pressure companies, banks, and even Pix.

BYD Atto 2 DM-i flex prepares to debut in Brazil with a plug-in hybrid engine, national assembly in Camaçari, competitive pricing, and targets Creta and T-Cross in a battle that promises to heat up the compact SUV market.

Processors can become 1,000 times faster with a new device that uses light pulses, operates in 40 picoseconds, and reduces the heat that stalls data centers.

Noise in the sky frightened residents: NASA confirms that a meteor exploded over New England with a force equivalent to 230 tons of TNT

The paycheck that seemed impossible: São José employee receives R$ 7.94 after legal strike, while deductions by the City Hall affect over a thousand employees and become a target of inquiry in the City Council.
