As the push for sustainable transportation intensifies, Volvo Trucks is developing hydrogen-powered combustion engine trucks.
As the race for the future of sustainable transportation heats up, Volvo Trucks is making a bold move by developing trucks with combustion engines that run on hydrogen. Volvo Trucks, the truck division of Swedish giant Volvo , plans to begin on-road tests with hydrogen-powered combustion engines in 2026, with a commercial launch slated for the decade’s end.
The hydrogen-powered combustion engine trucks will enhance Volvo’s range of alternative options, including battery electric trucks, fuel cell electric trucks, and trucks running on renewable fuels such as biogas and HVO .Hydrogen provides a clean alternative for industries aiming for net-zero emissions. When made sustainably with renewable energy, known as green hydrogen, it becomes a versatile, low-emission energy source.
“As a global truck manufacturer, we need to support our customers by offering a variety of decarbonization solutions, and customers can choose their alternative based on transport assignment, available infrastructure and green energy prices,” Hjelmgren said in aWhile Volvo believes battery electric trucks are the main path to decarbonizing heavy transport, there will also be segments in which there is no alternative to the combustion engine.
The benefits of HPDI include enhanced energy efficiency, which results in reduced fuel consumption and increased engine power.
