Hydrogen Offers Promising Future for Long-Haul Trucking Industry | Energy Technology Area

Hydrogen fuel cells generate electricity through an electrochemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen, which combine to generate electricity, heat, and water. One fuel cell can generate about 300 watts of power, so in order to generate enough power to run a car’s electric motor, the fuel cells need to be combined in series into a fuel cell stack. To meet DOE’s targets for hydrogen-fueled long-haul tractor trailer trucks, M2FCT researchers have identified the key differences between designing hydrogen fuel cells for light-duty vehicles versus heavy-duty vehicles.
