Extreme E Is Adding a Hydrogen Fuel Cell Racing Class
Over the weekend, Extreme E announced it will run a hydrogen fuel cell version of its Odyssey-21 off-road racer starting 2024, alongside the battery-electric series that’s already in place. Although the fuel cell stack hasn’t been developed or decided on yet, it’ll use the same motors and powertrain as the […]
JCB’s Newest Construction Vehicles Burn Hydrogen Instead of Diesel
JCB makes, for the most part, extremely non-recreational equipment. Ok, sure, you can beat the crap out of a four-door at Diggerland if that’s what you need to do but for the most part, these telehandlers and excavators are getting down to serious work in industries that have serious carbon […]
BMW Is Stress Testing Its Hydrogen Drivetrains With Hand Grenades
For most of us, knowing that we’re traveling in a car with adequate safety standards is good enough to make us feel safe. This is mostly because some automakers have been building cars for over a century now, so they know how to keep the important bits—like a fuel tank—from […]
Hyundai Wants Hydrogen to Be Mainstream by 2040. That’s Easier Said Than Done
Hyundai’s goals seem ambitious, especially in such a short timeframe. The automaker has been working on hydrogen powertrains for more than 20 years, though, so it’s not as if the concept is new to its engineers. The biggest hangup is the same one EVs are experiencing right now: a proper […]

The Stinky Chemical in Cat Pee Could Fuel the Hydrogen Future
How to power a greener future is a big question. Climate change is an extinction-level threat to a hell of a lot of life on earth, including us, but we don’t have a magic bullet solution for how to transition to cleaner technologies. Battery electric vehicles are currently dependent on […]
This 10.6L, Three-Cylinder Diesel Truck Engine Beats Emission Targets, Could Run On Hydrogen
The project has been assessed by CALSTART, who research emissions standards testing in California and confirmed to be able to meet the 0.02 grams per brake horsepower hour limit for ultra-low NOx. In fact, CALSTART Executive Vice President Bill Van Amburg has been quoted as saying it’s “the cleanest combustion, […]
Toyota Built a Turbo Hydrogen Combustion Engine, and It’s Testing in a 24-Hour Race
Ah, hydrogen. Lots of people out there who love combustion see its potential to preserve the concept of engines in an increasingly electric world. Toyota has been going really hard on it for a good bit now, both for fuel cells and the brand’s occasional rumbles about keeping the fires […]
Why We Still Can’t Deliver on the Promise of Hydrogen Cars
Predicting the future is always risky. But it’s long been clear that vehicles are one of the main sources of air pollution that takes thousands of lives a year in the U.S. alone through lung disease, asthma, cancer and more. And that ultimately, the world would have to move toward […]
