Daimler Truck AG and Linde PLC said Thursday that they are
working on developing liquid-hydrogen refueling technology for
fuel-cell-powered trucks.
The commercial-vehicles maker and the industrial-gases company
said they will work with a new approach to handle liquid hydrogen
and aim to improve the refueling process.
Under the agreement, the companies plan the first refueling at a
pilot station in Germany in 2023 and plan to use the new process
for Daimler's Mercedes-Benz GenH2 Truck.
The companies "expect the use of hydrogen-powered, heavy-duty
trucks to be a reality in the very near future," said David Burns,
Linde's head of clean hydrogen.
Daimler Truck and Linde didn't disclose financial terms of the
team-up.
