NeoGraf awarded $2mn for commercial vehicle fuel cell development

Developer and manufacturer of high-performance natural and synthetic graphite sheets, NeoGraf Solutions, has been awarded a $2mn grant by the US Department of Energy (DOE) for the development of graphite bipolar plates for heavy-duty fuel cell applications. NeoGraf says it will use the grant to develop flexible, low-cost bipolar plates for heavy-duty fuel cell applications

ULEMCo to develop hydrogen-fueled fire engines

ULEMCo (Ultra Low Emissions Mileage Co), a UK-based developer of hydrogen fuel systems, has been awarded government funding along with its partners to produce an optimized design for specialized hydrogen-fueled vehicles. Working with Oxfordshire County Council (OCC) and its Fire and Rescue Service, ULEMCo will design a fuel cell electric powertrain configuration for zero-emission fire

Fleets using new software to benchmark, diagnose fuel efficiency

Most ELD and fleet management systems are able to report the fuel efficiency data of tractors and the impact of certain driver behaviors like speeding and throttle usage. The data comes directly from the engine’s electronic control module (ECM), but may not be enough to assess the before-and-after results of fuel-saving technologies. Different variables need

TotalEnergies partners with Technip Energies for low-carbon solutions

TotalEnergies and Technip Energies signed a technical cooperation agreement to jointly develop low-carbon solutions for LNG production and offshore facilities to accelerate the energy transition. As part of this agreement, both parties will explore new concepts and technologies, in order to reduce carbon footprint of existing facilities and The qualification of new architectures and equipment

Diesel technology to dominate heavy-duty transport until 2040

Despite growing admiration of electric vehicles, diesel is still a force to be reckoned with in heavy-duty vehicles, says Allen Schaeffer, executive director at the Diesel Technology Forum, at the 2021 National Biodiesel Conference & Expo held virtually early this year. Diesel engines offer unmatched power density, extended driving ranges, an array of vehicle types
