How does a hydrogen fuel cell work, and why is this a technology with a bright future for commercial vehicles? This blog explains...

Accelera by Cummins Cummins Inc. #ACTExpo2024 …”Touting increased energy efficiency, the next-gen #14Xe is Accelera’s newest and most versatile #eAxle. Available with a 3-speed twin-countershaft or a 2-speed planetary transmission, the 14Xe is designed to accommodate increased torque, power and battery voltage requirements. The new 14Xe also minimizes the need for wheel-end reductions, making it a more flexible option for customers. For an enhanced electric drivetrain with an increased focus on functional safety and cybersecurity, the 14Xe is equipped with Accelera’s #ELFA 3 V3.2, a high-power inverter. The 14Xe is best suited for heavy-duty 6x4 applications in a tandem configuration or as a single application for medium-duty and school bus applications. Adaptable and reliable #battery innovations Accelera's #BP104E is its newest and most flexible battery platform. This next-gen lithium iron phosphate (LFP) platform is highly modular and can adapt easily to different customer needs, providing superior life performance and fast charging capabilities. With a rated energy capacity of 104kWh and a max voltage range of 830V, the BP104E is engineered to redefine energy storage standards along with unparalleled performance, reliability and safety to meet the evolving demands of the transportation sector. “…

⚡ NW and Renault Group announce the signing of an agreement to create a joint-venture in the field of electric vehicle charging combined with energy storage. Its ambition is to facilitate the transition to electric vehicles by offering charging solutions tailored to the needs of individuals and businesses, whether at home, at work, or on the go. 💡 "Every time Renault sells an electric car, RNW will offer its solution" #electricvehicle #energystorage #mobility #innovation https://lnkd.in/e7MUayQ7

Not ready to place a down-payment. This is one to watch, though. Honda is developing a hydrogen-fueled passenger car. It's one way we can use renewables to power transportation. The basic idea is that we could use solar or wind power to split water into H2 and O2, save and compress the hydrogen, and use it in fuel cells to power Electric Vehicles. Keep an eye on it. https://lnkd.in/errVmG4u

Brazil’s electric vehicles association ABVE estimates the country will more than double its recharging infrastructure in the next two years, reaching 10,000 electric stations compared to the current 4,600. The growth is stimulating companies like VoltBras, a provider of technologies for managing the monitoring and operating of electric vehicle chargers. In this interview with BNamericas, the group’s COO, Rodolfo Levien, says it has capitalized to expand its operations, including in other Latin American countries. #energy #electromobility #electricvehicles #esg #energytransition https://lnkd.in/db-RuEaW

🔋⚡️🆚💧🚗 Let's talk electric: Battery vs. Hydrogen Cars As the world races towards a greener future, the spotlight is on to what extent the #electric #vehicles are going to dominate the market and their grothw prospects in such an uncertain global scenario. Let's shed some light on the omnipresent debate about: Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) vs. Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles (HFCVs). 🤔💡 Let's break it down with some hard data and insights: 🔋 #Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs): ✅ Charging Infrastructure: With the proliferation of charging stations worldwide, BEVs enjoy a robust charging infrastructure, making them increasingly convenient for daily use. ✅ #Environmental Impact: BEVs have zero tailpipe emissions, contributing significantly to reducing greenhouse gases and improving air quality. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), BEVs emit 50-70% fewer greenhouse gases than traditional internal combustion engine vehicles. ✅ Cost efficiency: Over the long term, BEVs have lower operating costs compared to conventional vehicles, thanks to lower fuel and maintenance expenses. The total cost of ownership for BEVs is projected to become even more competitive as battery prices continue to decline. 📊 According to the IEA, the global stock of BEVs surpassed 40 million in 2023, with sales continuing to climb year on year. 💧 #Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (HFCVs): ✅ Fast refueling: HFCVs boast rapid refueling times, comparable to traditional gasoline vehicles, which is a significant advantage for long-distance travel and commercial applications. ✅ Long range: Hydrogen offers excellent energy density, providing HFCVs with longer driving ranges compared to many BEVs, making them a compelling option for certain use cases like heavy-duty trucks and buses. ✅ Versatility: Hydrogen can be produced from a variety of sources, including renewable energy, natural gas, and even wastewater, offering flexibility in the energy supply chain. 📊 While the adoption of HFCVs is still in its early stages, with Toyota Motor Corporation, Hyundai Motor Company (현대자동차) and Honda leading the pack, significant investments are being made in hydrogen infrastructure development worldwide. 📖 For further reading: 🔗https://lnkd.in/dj4ti9Pt 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dSfSKkjs 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dJev-zTP The choice between them ultimately depends on factors such as infrastructure availability, driving habits, and specific use cases. #ElectricVehicles #HydrogenCars #Sustainability #CleanEnergy #FutureOfMobility
