Hydrogen trucks It's revolutionizing clean transportation, and the H2Rescue has set a new Guinness World Record to prove it.
This amazing vehicle, developed by Cummins Accelera in collaboration with the US Department of Energy and the Department of Defense, has covered an amazing 1,806 miles on a single tank of hydrogen.

A record-breaking journey
The H2Rescue truck has embarked on its journey Standard flight in CaliforniaIt carries 386 pounds of hydrogen fuel. Throughout the trip, it navigated rush hour traffic, maintained speeds between 50 and 55 mph, and operated in temperatures ranging from 60 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit.

Impressive technology
The H2Rescue truck is powered by a Cummins Accelera engine Fuel cell engine And a traction motor with a capacity of 250 kW. During its record-breaking run, it consumed 370 pounds of hydrogen, demonstrating the efficiency of hydrogen fuel cell technology. The most striking aspect of this trip? The truck was emitting absolutely nothing but water vapor from its exhaust pipe.

Environmental impact
By using hydrogen instead of gasoline, the H2Rescue truck saved a whopping 664 pounds of CO2 emissions compared to a conventional truck of the same size covering the same distance. This demonstrates the potential of hydrogen-powered vehicles to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change.

More than just breaking records
The H2Rescue truck is not just about setting records. It's designed for real-world emergency response scenarios. The vehicle can deliver 25 kilowatts of power from its fuel cells for up to 72 hours without refueling, enough to power multiple FEMA trailers during critical emergency operations.
The 33,000-pound truck is ruggedly designed to transport essential supplies directly to disaster areas where infrastructure may be compromised. As an added innovative feature, the truck produces about a gallon of water per hour as a byproduct, which, while not a huge source of water, represents a small but interesting potential benefit in emergency situations where resources may be scarce.

The bigger picture
The Department of Energy estimates that replacing traditional emergency response vehicles with H2Rescue trucks could save about 1,825 gallons of gasoline annually and reduce annual greenhouse gas emissions by 2.8 tons. This demonstrates the great potential of hydrogen fuel cell technology in heavy transportation and emergency response applications.
