In response to increasing demand for hydrogen internal combustion engines (H2-ICE), Tenneco has expanded its testing capabilities. This is aimed at tackling the challenges presented by hard-to-abate industrial sectors such as agriculture, construction, and heavy-duty trucking.
Tenneco has added two test cells to its existing H2-ICE test facility in Burscheid, Germany. Additionally, a new test cell has been launched in Ann Arbor, Michigan. To further bolster its research capabilities, Tenneco has also opened a unique hydrogen materials test laboratory in Nuremberg, Germany. These expansions reinforce Tenneco’s position as a technology leader in developing hydrogen propulsion solutions.
Tenneco emphasizes the importance of rigorous testing to ensure the performance, reliability, and safety of hydrogen-powered solutions. The company’s expansion highlights its commitment to advancing H2-ICE critical components and reducing carbon emissions. Led by industry experts like Davide Girelli, President of the Powertrain business group, and Christian Herbst-Dederichs, Vice President of Product and Technology, Tenneco is focused on accelerating innovation cycles and streamlining product development through these new facilities.
