- Latest technology trends - Hydrogen tank development (Toyota, Linde - Daimler, Hino, and Nippon Steel Stainless Steel)
Summary
If the infrastructure for fuel cells is developed, there is an idea that if the same hydrogen is used in engines, the expansion of hydrogen use can be achieved earlier than through use with fuel cells. Since hydrogen engines can generally use the existing designs of fossil fuel engines, a large number of them have already been supplied for demonstrations as well as in the market.
Although hydrogen engines are essentially a proven technology, there are still many reported developments that incorporate recent advances in high-pressure injection equipment and hydrogen storage technology. This report introduces the latest examples of engine and hydrogen tank development, based on past practical examples and presentations organized by the Society of Automotive Engineers of Japan, Inc. in 2023.
