Fuel Cell

Claiming a system-level energy density 5X higher than batteries, Amogy has rolled out "the world's first ammonia-powered, zero-emission semi truck." It holds about 900 kWh of energy, like the Tesla Semi, but you can refuel it in about eight minutes.

Toyota forges ahead with its multi-pronged sustainable vehicle strategy. The Hilux Revo BEV concept makes an appearance just days after the company announced a fuel cell Hilux prototype. Will the future of the rugged pickup be BEV, FCEV or both?

Pedal-assist bikes are proving a popular choice but most offer a fairly limited range and long wait times when charging up the batteries. Pragma Mobility sees things differently, tapping into hydrogen fuel-cell technology for the Alpha Neo commuter.

Intestinal glucose levels are a major indicator of gastrointestinal health, and the current method of measuring them involves putting a catheter down the patient's throat. Soon, however, a swallowable "smart pill" could do the job less intrusively.

Back in 2019 we heard about the sleek electric Bubble Taxi, a five-seat enclosed hydrofoil created by French manufacturer SeaBubbles. The company has now announced a bigger and faster model, simply called the SeaBubble.

Four years after embarking on a two-year operational trial run in Germany, a bunch of Coradia iLint hydrogen fuel-cell trains have entered passenger service along a 100% hydrogen route in Lower Saxony.

Toyota wants hydrogen to power entire cities in Japan, and over the weekend it presented prototype H2 canisters it's developed with its subsidiary Woven Planet. These hydrogen tubes will twist-lock into sockets in vehicles, homes, and other devices.

Powering medical implants can be tricky, but tapping into the body’s own fuel source could keep them going long-term. A new design for a tiny fuel cell converts glucose into electricity to power implants more efficiently than any other so far.

Stuttgart-based German aerospace company H2FLY has claimed a new world record for its four-seater HY4, which became the first hydrogen-powered passenger aircraft to reach an altitude above 7,000 ft (2,134 m) on April 13.

Mindful of the significant carbon emissions generated by the marine industry in general, America's Cup reigning champion Emirates Team New Zealand has been developing a hydrogen-powered chase boat, and has now taken it out for its first spin.

Developing a zero-emissions fuel-cell off-roader to compete in Baja 1000 is hard enough. But using cryogenic liquid hydrogen that stores at -423 ºF as fuel? That's just lunacy. Lunacy reigns at SCG, where a cryo-hydrogen Baja Boot is in development.

For people living in coastal regions or along rivers, commuting to certain places by water is always going to be quicker than using land-based transit. The NepShuttle is designed to let them continue to do so, while minimizing their carbon footprint.
