“Toyota hydrogen fuel cell modules to be used at #ParisOlympicGames and #ParisParalympicGames” October 24, 2023 - By TAMI HOOD “The zero-emission technology will be used to replace diesel engines in ten converted coaches. Toyota has announced that its #hydrogenfuelcellmodules will be used as a part of its position as worldwide #mobility partner of the #InternationalOlympicCommittee (#IOC) and the #InternationalParalympicCommittee (#IPC). They will be installed into ten converted coaches to replace #dieselengines with #zeroemission technology.” “These coaches will provide transportation to more than 5,000 visitors to #Paris for the Games. The IOC and IPC will use the hydrogen fuel cell converted #coaches for transporting the visitors as a part of its guest program during the #2024Games in Paris. This time period will allow the #H2poweredbuses to complete their full use cycle, offering both public and private customers into the Ile de France region.” “Toyota will be supplying GCK – an industrial company group providing transport #decarbonization technological solutions – the modules for the conversion of the ten used Iveco coaches. In this way, they will become #H2poweredelectricvehicles producing #zerocarbonemissions.” “Once converted, the #buses will be purchased by French company B.E. Green. That company will bring the coaches into its existing fleet after the conclusion of the Games.” “This announcement occurred simultaneously with the presenting of the first long-distance coach using the module at the RNTP Transport Event that took place in Clermont-Ferrand, France.” “Converting the coaches into #hydrogenfuelcellbuses replaces the #engine and #gearbox.” “The diesel engine and gearbox at the front of the bus are replaced during the conversion. Instead, the buses will use #batteries, 370kW #electricmotors, and Toyota TFCM2-B hydrogen fuel cell modules.” https://lnkd.in/gkuEyxKP Source - original post Read all my posts #MariusPreston #hydrogenmobility #hydrogenfuel #greenhydrogen #paris2024 #automakers #automotiveindustry #automotivemanufacturing #carindustry #fcev #hydrogenfuelcells

Imagine refueling your car in just 5 seconds?? The NamX hydrogen SUV features a unique hydrogen capsule system called CapX for an emission-free ride. It can travel 700 to 800 kilometers on a full charge, with the option to refill the central tank at hydrogen stations or swap out removable capsules at CapXtores. Electric or Hydrogen cars: Which one will shape the future?

𝐁𝐲𝐞 𝐁𝐲𝐞 𝐄𝐕, 𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐨 𝐓𝐨𝐲𝐨𝐭𝐚 𝐌𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐢 𝐅𝐂𝐄𝐕! 🌍🚀 The future of green transportation is here, and it's powered by hydrogen and oxygen. Say hello to the Toyota Mirai FCEV (Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle) – an innovative leap forward in the quest for sustainable mobility. Unlike traditional electric vehicles, the Mirai's only byproduct is water, making it a true game-changer in reducing our carbon footprint. With the Toyota Mirai, we are not just dreaming about a cleaner future; we're driving it. This hydrogen-powered marvel offers all the benefits of electric vehicles, with quicker refueling times and greater range. It's the perfect blend of cutting-edge technology and environmental responsibility. Join the revolution and embrace the future of zero-emission driving. 🌿🚗💧 #ToyotaMirai #FCEV #HydrogenFuel #SustainableMobility #GreenTech #FutureOfTransportation

🚌 #Hydrogen bus crosses the Alps reaching elevations >1,700m with gradients of up to 15% on a 368km route….but still has 42% left in the tank! Fuel cell tech is amazing and more than ready. Zero emissions. No compromises. These fuel cells were supplied by Toyota Motor Europe to Mercedes-Benz AG 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Toyota has a factory in Wales which is primed to make fuel cells for buses and many other applications. Ditch filthy diesel by creating a market to support - and grow - these jobs and skills. Also in Wales we can make plenty of the green hydrogen which fuels the bus. And we can make the steel for the bus using green hydrogen. 🔔 This is the is #circulareconomy #localization & #resilience with bells on.

“#WaterEngine on the move for the first time in history: breaks power records and is better than #hydrogen ” D. García - 04/03/2024 - “The new #zeroemissioncombustionengine : even Ferrari wants it for their #supercars - These will be the first #hydrogenairplanes : airline, flight date and destination already known - Biden wants to take these cars off the road: total and unexpected braking by 2025” “Excluding conventional #hydrogen in an #energytransition context is challenging, but there’s a #waterpoweredengine that has achieved it (at least partially). It sets power records. The car with two #hydrogenengines was surprising, but what’s coming next is equally remarkable. In the context of #decarbonizing the economy we’re going through, hydrogen has become a resounding protagonist.” “Water engine: a record no one expected, but everyone wants” “In fact, it doesn’t entirely reject hydrogen, but rather uses it to its advantage. The Austrian company AVL Racetech has developed a powerful #hydrogencombustionengine . An invention that demonstrates that this type of model can boast great performance and be used as an alternative to #electricvehicles .” “Furthermore, it has potential for use in #racingcars . It has emerged as a result of the collaboration of engineers from AVL Racetech and the HUMDA laboratory in Hungary. Its innovative hydrogen combustion engine has a novelty that makes it special: a #waterinjectionsystem . With this addition, the power problem traditionally linked to these types of engines is solved.” “How does the water engine that revolutionizes the hydrogen market work?” “#PortFuelInjection or PFI inserts traditional water into the engine’s air intake system, preventing #prematureignition that could damage the component and achieves #stoichiometriccombustion . Translated, this means that the resulting air-fuel ratios are more or less fixed.” “This, according to the company, highlights the potential disadvantages of lean-burn engines. The result of this exhaustive work has been a two-liter hydrogen engine that produces 410 hp and 500 Newton-meters of torque between 3,000 and 4,000 revolutions per minute, achieving a specific power density of approximately 205 hp per liter (150 kW per liter).” https://lnkd.in/e9_8Ahfg Source- original post Read all my posts #MariusPreston

Have you heard about Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEV) and their green impact? 🤔 Driven by TOYOTA’s FCEV technology, a garbage truck and ambulance that run on hydrogen made their Japan debut in Fukuoka City. 🚛🚑 Fukuoka City has focused on the potential of hydrogen for energy and initiated the Hydrogen Leader City Project. Meanwhile, TOYOTA views hydrogen as a promising energy source to achieve #CarbonNeutrality. TOYOTA remains committed in helping build sustainable communities through its #multipathway approach to vehicle electrification, which includes FCEVs, among other powertrain options such as Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs), Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs), and Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs). https://lnkd.in/g2nUnNSm

« Let’s take an example. The average gas ⛽️ station today services about 1,000 cars. A Toyota Mirai holds 5.5 kg of hydrogen. Assuming that they don’t arrive empty, let’s assume they would fill up with 5 kg of hydrogen. That’s a requirement of 5,000 kg of hydrogen per day. Gaseous hydrogen tanker trucks, per the US DOE, hold about 600 kg of hydrogen. Straightforward division leads to just over eight tankers per day driving in and pumping hydrogen into the station’s storage tanks. Liquid hydrogen trucks hold about 3,500 kg of hydrogen, so that’s three trucks every two days. For cars, of course, liquid hydrogen does no good, so it has to be shifted to gas form which requires more expensive kit at the station. What does this have to do with aviation? Well, prior to the discussion, I looked up the fuel capacity of an Airbus A321, a common and efficient airplane used globally today. The lower range version holds 24,000 liters of Jet A, or about 18 tons of kerosene. Liquid hydrogen has about 2.5 times more energy per kilogram than kerosene, so that’s the equivalent of about 7.4 tons of liquid hydrogen. Just getting the hydrogen to an airport in liquified trucks for a single passenger jet ✈️ refueling would require a couple of trucks 🛻 🛻🛻🛻. Dozens or hundreds of passenger jets refuel at airports daily. There would be a traffic jam a dozen kilometers long if hydrogen were delivered by truck, so that’s a non starter. And as noted, at a cost of US$10 per kg delivered, that’s over ten times the cost of Jet A today. » by Michael Barnard More on CleanTechnica Weronika Gulinska, Dr. Romano Pagliari, Chris Pickard, Pericles Pilidis
