Goals Of Companies With The New Hydrogen-Powered Engine Project
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.
