Both firms have collectively developed subcooled liquid hydrogen, enabling decrease prices and quicker refueling presently out there at a not too long ago opened public gasoline station.

Daimler Truck and Linde Engineering have collectively developed sLH2, a brand new course of for dealing with subcooled liquid hydrogen. 

Compared to gaseous hydrogen, this strategy permits for the next storage density, a higher vary, quicker refueling, decrease prices and superior power effectivity. Refueling takes round ten to fifteen minutes for a 40-ton heavy-duty truck, carrying 80 kg of liquid hydrogen for a variety of 1,000 kilometers and extra.

“This and further advantages make sLH2 a practical, CO2-neutral alternative to diesel in the heavy-duty vehicle sector. The technology we have developed with Daimler Truck will help pave the way for the development of a robust refueling network, which is essential to keep vehicles moving and supply chains intact,” stated Juergen Nowicki, Executive Vice President Linde plc and CEO of Linde Engineering.

At the identical time, the brand new sLH2 know-how lowers the required funding for a hydrogen refueling station by an element of two to a few, and operational prices are 5 to 6 occasions decrease. The firms have made out there the know-how at their not too long ago inaugurated station within the German metropolis of Wörth am Rhein.

“We now call on other OEMs and infrastructure companies to follow our approach and jointly make this technology an industry standard,” added Andreas Gorbach, Member of the Board of Management of Daimler Truck AG and chargeable for Truck Technology.

Daimler Truck and Linde Engineering purpose to make sLH2 the main hydrogen refueling know-how for heavy-duty vehicles. The know-how has been standardized in an open ISO course of and is offered to all events.
