Accelerating its R&D studies in line with its vision of "creating value with the most efficient transportation solutions" and its goal of a zero-emission future, Ford Trucks has taken its alternative fuel technologies studies to the next level. Continuing its hydrogen fuel engine studies, which it started with a single-cylinder research engine last year, Ford Trucks has taken the studies to a further stage and has now successfully completed the first ignition of its own design, the multi-cylinder hydrogen engine H2-Ecotorq.
The teams will continue their system optimization and development work with the engine, which showed successful results in the first tests.
This milestone represents an important step towards expanding Ford Trucks' carbon-neutral product portfolio as a zero-emission vehicle solution. With this development, Ford Trucks has also reached another important milestone in its zero emission target for heavy commercial vehicles in 2040.
Ford Trucks continues its zero emission investments
Ford Trucks is pioneering the transportation technologies of the future in the heavy commercial vehicle industry in line with its sustainability vision.
Ford Trucks, which started a major transformation journey with zero-emission, connected and autonomous technologies with the "Generation F movement", is working to put its first fully electric truck on the roads in 2025.
Focusing on alternative fuel technologies as well as electrification, Ford Trucks is also developing the first fuel cell electric (FCEV) F-MAX to run on hydrogen within the framework of the European Union's 'Zero Emission Transportation Ecosystem' project, with the vision of adding value to the mobility solutions of the future.
