Hydrogen retro fit and semi retro fit diesel motors

[windtrader]

Thanks for the updates, especially the international perspective. Remember, CNG deployment? It is the playbook for hydrogen as I see it. Fleet and government penetration primarily due to vehicles going home every night so fueling infrastrutcture deployment is viable. Hydrogen is just the next CNG for fleets. Electric EV is the mass winner

Toyota's fuel cell electric powertrain granted zero emission executive order from CARB
April 26, 2023 0 By ANGIE BERGENSON
The executive order certifies Toyota's powertrain kit as a zero-emission powertrain.
Toyota recently announced that its new heavy-duty fuel cell electric powertrain kit has been granted a Zero Emission Powertrain (ZEP) Executive Order from the California Air Resources Board (CARB).


The kit offers a viable alternative to conventional diesel powertrains.
Toyota's heavy-duty hydrogen fuel cell electric powertrain kit includes fuel cell stacks, hydrogen fuel storage tanks, batteries, electric motors and transmission. The kit provides a practical alternative to traditional diesel powertrains currently used in commercial goods transportation for companies seeking to transition the vehicles they use in their fleets to zero-emission trucks.

Toyota's kit being granted a ZEP Executive Order from CARB means that there is now another tool that original equipment manufactures (OEMs) and operators of heavy-duty Class 8 commercial trucks can use to help them comply with California's ever-increasing strict emissions regulations. In other words, qualifying manufactures that use the fuel cell electric powertrain kit will be eligible for incentives.

That's awesome to have an another alternative. It seems quite reasonable that fleets will evaluate and pilot fuel cells in heavy trucking and fueling locations can more easily be installed. Still very few places to do that today, just have to wait to see how it grows.
what's your take on what objective financial calculations report on initial, ongoing operational costs of hydrogen?

[Jim Blackwood]

Can we retrofit that to those jacked up pickup truck guys who go around "Rolling Coal"?

I see some similarities to the transition from steam to diesel/electric locomotives. No reason it can't be made to work, the trick is making it economically desirable.

This is worse than EV
Additionally, switch, industrial and passenger locomotives built in 2030 or after will be required to operate in zero-emissions configurations while in California, and in 2035 for freight line haul.
To keep OT, what will be the fuel - hydrogen? how about batteries? lol

The companies have come together in an historic Memorandum of Understanding signing.
The development of hydrogen cars just got an important shot in the arm as Toyota Motor Company, Hino Motors Ltd., Daimler Truck Holding AG, and Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation (MFTBC) recently signed a groundbreaking Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).


The companies will be focusing on accelerating the development of advanced technologies.
Along with placing a greater focus on pooling their resources to develop technologies such as hydrogen cars, the MoU is also a part of the merging of Hino and MFTBC. First and foremost, the collaboration's goal is for carbon neutrality and to encourage a prosperous mobility society. It will be looking in particular at advancing Connected/Autonomous & Automated/Shared/Electric (CASE) technologies as well as the enhancement of the global commercial vehicle business.

The merge between Hino and MFTBC will occur under a new holding company. Within that holding company, each of the original businesses will have equal investment powers.

The nature of the MoU is designed to form and enhance commercial vehicle development, procurement and development. This could provide Japanese commercial vehicle manufacturing a boost in terms of global competition. Toyota and Daimler Truck will each be making equal investments into the new holding entity of the merged companies.

The companies will also work together on hydrogen cars and other CASE technology development.
By working on H2 development and that of other CASE technologies, they intend to boost the new company's competitiveness.

Rolls-Royce is thinking about making some EVs into hydrogen cars

June 20, 2023 2 By TAMI HOOD
The company's CEO has stated that the automaker is thinking that it "might exit batteries."
Rolls-Royce is thinking about stepping away from typical battery electric vehicles in favor of hydrogen cars once H2 technology has improved enough for mainstream use at scale.

The automaker has been focused on developing battery electric vehicles as its zero-emission offering.
The latest Rolls-Royce Spectre made its way into the spotlight earlier this month at Villa d'Este in Italy for its European debut. That model is the first electric vehicle from the UK-based automaker and is expected to begin production in September. It will boast one of the largest batteries any production car has ever held, at 120kWh.The vehicle's range is said to be over 300 miles, with rapid charging at 195kW.

That said, Torsten Müller-Ötvös, Rolls-Royce CEO, has said that the unique positioning of the company and the average owner's specialized use case means that it is possible to consider hydrogen cars as a technology with true potential for the future.
In a recent Autocar report, Müller-Ötvös explained that he viewed fuel cells as the way to go,..."
