Tupy, A Brazilian Multinational, Has Closed A Partnership With Westport Fuel And AVL List For The Development Of A Hydrogen-Powered Engine Aimed At Cargo Transportation Activities

Tupy, a Brazilian multinational in the metallurgy sector, is developing a hydrogen-powered internal combustion engine aimed at cargo transportation activities. The project is being worked on in partnership with Westport Fuel Systems, a global leader in alternative fuels, and AVL List, one of the world’s largest independent companies in simulation and testing in the automotive industry.

Tupy’s Hydrogen Engine Will Bring Several Advantages

Experts are betting heavily on hydrogen as a source for cargo transportation applications, considering that it brings several benefits such as zero carbon emissions, the possibility of being refueled quickly, and also being used to power fuel cells and internal combustion engines.

In addition to all these advantages, hydrogen could enable the use of existing technologies and could be crucial to ensuring its affordability for trucks and buses that travel long distances.

The companies Tupy, Westport, and AVL will work on creating a high-pressure direct injection system, a component that requires superior casting and machining technologies and materials, which are Tupy’s specialty.

The partnership aims to reduce the fuel consumption of current engines that already use hydrogen and consequently increase their efficiency. AVL successfully completed the work on the AVL Hydrogen Engine with the support of Graz University of Technology in Austria earlier this year.

Meanwhile, Westport has conducted tests on heavy vehicles using hydrogen and a high-pressure injection system, which were successful. According to the Brazilian multinational, the first results of the engine are expected next year.

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.

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.

China opens the world’s first school where more than 100 humanoid robots from different brands will study together, each movement will be repeated up to 600 times a day and the data will feed a collective brain that will teach all the robots of the future.

Cambodia has started digging a nearly 180-kilometer canal to connect the Mekong River directly to the sea and reduce its dependence on the ports of neighboring Vietnam.

Scientists considered detonating 213 nuclear bombs in the Sahara to create an artificial sea the size of El Salvador, with each explosion being a hundred times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb, and the goal was to generate more energy than Egypt’s largest hydroelectric plant.

The domino effect of US sanctions reaches cards in Cuba, bringing down Visa and Mastercard and exposing a new obstacle for the island’s economy.

The solid-state battery, promised for years as the future of electric cars, is finally starting to move from the laboratory to mass production.

In North Korea, residents take bottles, plastic, fabric, paper, and metal to recycling shops and exchange waste for products as sanctions, closed borders, and a more than 80% drop in trade with China pressure the country to replace imports.

An illegal mountain of waste 6 meters high and 10,000 tons has emerged in England, threatens to catch fire, could cost millions to remove, and exposes how illegal dumping has become a business for criminals.
