Air Products, Cummins to accelerate hydrogen fuel cell trucks deployment
Companies will collaborate in converting Air Products’ global fleet of 2,000 trucks to hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, as well as in accessibility and hydrogen infrastructure.
Air Products, a world leader in the supply and transport of hydrogen, and Cummins Inc., a global power and hydrogen technologies leader, signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to accelerate together the integration of hydrogen fuel cell trucks in the Americas, Europe and Asia.
Cummins will provide hydrogen fuel cell electric powertrains integrated into selected OEM partners' heavy-duty trucks for Air Products, as Air Products begins the process of converting its global fleet of distribution vehicles to hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.
Following a demonstration and pilot phase, Air Products plans to convert its global fleet of approximately 2,000 trucks to hydrogen fuel cell zero-emission vehicles. Cummins and Air Products expect the demonstration phase to begin in 2022. Additionally, Cummins and Air Products will work together to increase the accessibility of renewable hydrogen, including hydrogen infrastructure opportunities that promote the adoption of hydrogen for mobility.
With more 60 years of hydrogen experience, Air Products has been involved in over 250 hydrogen fueling projects in 20 countries.
Cummins Inc. is a corporation of complementary business segments that design, manufacture, distribute and service a broad portfolio of power solutions. The company's products range from diesel, natural gas, electric and hybrid powertrains and powertrain-related components.
