Nikola plans to promote 100 hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles for logistic operations in California, Volvo has began growing hydrogen combustion vehicles, and Airbus has introduced plans to launch a examine into hydrogen initiatives within the US state of Georgia.
AiLO Logistics, a drayage service working within the Port of Los Angeles, has positioned a 100-unit order for Nikola hydrogen fuel-cell electrical autos (FCEVs). Supply is scheduled for 2025. AiLO Logistics, a newly rebranded firm combining a number of companies, had beforehand ordered 50 Nikola FCEVs. “Deliveries from that authentic order have commenced and are ongoing all through 2024,” stated Nikola.
Volvo stated it’s growing vehicles with combustion engines that run on hydrogen. “On-road exams with vehicles utilizing hydrogen in combustion engines will start in 2026, and the industrial launch is deliberate in direction of the tip of this decade,” stated the Swedish firm, including that the hydrogen vehicles can have an operational vary akin to many diesel vehicles.
Plug Energy, Delta Air Traces, and Airbus plan to hold out a feasibility examine for a hydrogen-based hub at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta Worldwide Airport (ATL). “The examine, which preliminarily launched earlier this 12 months, will assist outline the infrastructure, operational viability, and security and safety necessities wanted to implement hydrogen as a possible gas supply for future plane operations at ATL,” stated Airbus. The examine is scheduled for completion by the tip of 2026.
Airbus UpNext has launched a brand new technological demonstrator integrating a 2 MW-class superconducting electrical propulsion system cooled by liquid hydrogen by way of a helium recirculation loop. “Our earlier demonstrators have proven that superconducting applied sciences could be a key enabler for the high-power electrification of future hydrogen-powered plane,” stated Airbus UpNext CEO Michael Augello. “The brand new demonstrator will result in efficiency enhancements of the propulsion system, translating into vital weight and fuel-saving potential.”
Nel Hydrogen has signed a expertise licensing settlement with Reliance Industries (RIL). The deal supplies RIL with an unique license for Nel Hydrogen’s alkaline electrolyzers in India and permits RIL to globally manufacture them for captive functions. “Nel will by way of this settlement get a income stream from a quickly rising market Nel couldn’t have accessed by itself,” stated Nel Hydrogen President and CEO Håkon Volldal.
Metacon and Siemens have signed a collaborative settlement to fabricate techniques for inexperienced hydrogen manufacturing in Sweden for the European market. Metacon stated it’ll develop into a expertise companion to Siemens, with the latter contributing its digital providers and software program for optimization, standardization, and simulation in the manufacturing and operational phases of hydrogen crops.
