Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) and its vehicle partner Ashok Leyland on Monday (6th Feb 2023) unveiled India’s first Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engine (H2-ICE) technology solution for heavy-duty trucks.
The two companies, along with their other technical partners, have been engaged in developing this technology since 2022, with the first engines running in early 2022.
The hydrogen tech solution will emit near zero emissions, deliver performance on par with conventional diesel trucks and reduce noise and with projected reductions in operating costs thus redefining the future of green mobility, Reliance said in a statement.
Reliance will first extensively test and validate the H2ICE technology for heavy-duty trucks before its first commercial deployment at scale initially across its captive fleet.
Green hydrogen is hydrogen generated by renewable energy or from low-carbon power.
India’s Niti Aayog said that green hydrogen is critical to India’s economic development and net-zero ambitions, adding that the technology can help abate
3.6 gigatons of cumulative
CO2 emissions by 2050..
