    Three UK-based companies – Viritech, HORIBA MIRA, and Intelligent Energy – have embarked on an ambitious journey to develop a commercially competitive hydrogen fuel cell-powered 44-tonne heavy-duty truck.

    This groundbreaking venture, known as Project ICEBreaker, is backed by the UK’s Advanced Propulsion Centre (APC) funding and aims to redefine the future of heavy-duty trucking.

    One of the primary goals of Project ICEBreaker is to significantly reduce the cost of owning and operating hydrogen fuel cell trucks. With a total project budget of £3 million ($3.8 million), this endeavor is poised to transform the economics of heavy-duty trucking. By making hydrogen fuel cell trucks more accessible and cost-effective, the project aims to accelerate the adoption of sustainable transportation solutions.

    Each of the three companies in this collaboration brings a unique set of expertise to the table:

    Viritech: As the lead partner, Viritech will provide its hydrogen fuel cell powertrain, which has undergone rigorous optimization to achieve performance parity with heavy-duty diesel powertrains. This critical advancement ensures that the hydrogen-powered trucks can match or even surpass the capabilities of their fossil fuel counterparts.

    HORIBA MIRA: Renowned for its cutting-edge automotive engineering and testing capabilities, HORIBA MIRA plays a vital role in the development and validation of the hydrogen fuel cell truck. Their expertise ensures that the vehicle meets stringent safety and performance standards.

    Intelligent Energy: This company specializes in fuel cell technology, particularly for heavy-duty applications. Intelligent Energy will leverage its latest generation of fuel cells to power the 44-tonne trucks efficiently. Their contribution is pivotal in ensuring the reliability and effectiveness of the hydrogen fuel cell systems.

    Project ICEBreaker not only marks a significant step towards lowering carbon emissions in the transportation sector but also aligns with the UK’s ambitious environmental goals. By harnessing the power of hydrogen, these heavy-duty trucks can offer an eco-friendly alternative to traditional diesel-powered vehicles.
