Volvo Trucks is developing trucks powered by hydrogen combustion engines, set to begin on-road tests in 2026.

Volvo’s hydrogen combustion engine trucks are designed to run on green hydrogen, presenting a viable alternative to fossil fuels. These trucks are particularly suited for long-distance transport and areas with limited charging infrastructure for battery-electric vehicles. This approach complements Volvo’s existing portfolio, which includes battery-electric trucks, fuel cell electric trucks, and vehicles running on renewable fuels like biogas and Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO).

Volvo Group has partnered with Westport Fuel Systems to establish a joint venture focused on utilizing HPDI technology. This venture is expected to become operational in the second quarter of 2024, following formal closure.

Volvo’s initiative represents a significant achievement in the quest for sustainable heavy transport solutions. The development of hydrogen combustion engine trucks is an innovative approach that addresses the current limitations of battery-electric vehicles, particularly in long-haul and infrastructure-scarce scenarios.

Volvo’s hydrogen trucks must compete with these global initiatives by ensuring technological reliability and economic competitiveness. The successful integration of HPDI technology and the strategic partnership with Westport Fuel Systems position Volvo favorably in this competitive landscape.

The future of hydrogen in heavy transport looks promising, with Volvo’s hydrogen combustion engine trucks set to play a crucial role. These vehicles are expected to deliver significant environmental benefits, aligning with EU CO2 emission standards and contributing to global decarbonization efforts.
