Hydrogen is becoming increasingly important in the world of vehicles sustainable, becoming an extremely attractive and beneficial alternative for the environment, even more so if we think about leaving aside traditional fossil fuels that turn out to be very polluting for the environment. Now, a new project seeks to create mobility that fuses hydrogen with electricity.
This is the new vehicle that fuses electricity and hydrogen
Since the great benefits of hydrogen became known in different industries, its use became popular especially in the automotive industry, where some prototypes of vehicles for personal use and also buses for public transportation were launched.
Now, some motorcycle manufacturers are working together to obtain a internal combustion engine that is powered exclusively by hydrogenthis is in order to gradually eliminate those highly polluting mobilities that are powered by fossil fuels.
But the multiple uses of hydrogen do not end there, since it can also be used to propel electric motors, this would be possible through what is known as a hydrogen fuel cell. It generates electricity through a chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen.
In this particular project, the batteries are replaced by gas, this same It serves the function of powering the electric vehicle engine. In this way we are completely eliminating the use of batteries which can be extremely polluting for the environment.
Meet the companies that are developing this innovative mobility
First of all, a group of Czech organizations will be in charge of carrying out the basis of the hydrogen-powered motorcycle, some of them are 1to1desing, the research and development company ÚJV Rez and the Czech Technical University.
While the Fraunhofer Institute IWU and the German company WätaSwärmetauscher Sachsen GmbH will be the ones that focus on the mobility of the motorcycle in question, that is, they will be in charge of the fuel cell and the electric motor that will drive the vehicle.
It is important to highlight that one of the main driving groups of this project was the Fraunhofer Institute of Machinery, Tools and Technology, they even clarified during a press release that just one kilogram of compressed hydrogen could be more than enough to be able to drive a car for 100 kilometers.
These are some problems associated with the project
As promising as this mobility sounds, it still presents some logistical problems associated with its structure. The truth is that, including the gas to electric converter can be a challenge due to the limited space of a motorcycle. It is estimated that the same conflict will be resolved before this project is commercialized.
In addition to what was mentioned above, it must be taken into account that the vehicle in question still requires more space for the hydrogen tank and the motorcycle engine, something that has to be done without increasing the volume and weight of the vehicle.
Finally, it is important to mention that, This prestigious project is expected to be presented and commercialized in 2025, becoming one more of the important and innovative environmentally friendly developments that demonstrate the importance of the transition to more sustainable energy sources.
The development of a project of this level represents the growing commitment of companies throughout the world in seeking increasingly innovative sustainable and sustainable alternatives, something that ensures once again that you can have all the comforts of a traditional vehicle without affecting or harming the environment.
