EH2T implements hydrogen technology in heavy transport with the vehicle’s zero-emissions commitment.
The Instituto Tecnológico de Aragón (ITA) is responsible for the development of the retrofitting of a 40-ton diesel tractor unit. This tractor unit is electrified and, subsequently, fuel cells are integrated together with the auxiliary systems required for its correct operation.
Heavy transport is responsible for a large part of the gas emissions into the atmosphere due to its high demand for power, autonomy and intensive use.
The historical dependence on diesel has hindered the transition to cleaner alternatives, as heavy trucks require solutions that offer sufficient autonomy and operating times comparable to fossil fuels.
Battery electric trucks present significant limitations for long distances due to limited range and long charging times, as well as high battery mass that reduces their payload. Therefore, the introduction of hydrogen hydrogen technology can offer greater range and faster refueling.
The EH2T project is based on the conversion(retrofitting) of a commercial diesel tractor unit into a vehicle powered by hydrogen technologies. The technological development includes:
