Recent legislation at the state
Recent legislation at the state and federal level mandating zero tailpipe emissions has put electric drivetrains – and that includes hydrogen – into the spotlight. But trucking as long been on a path of reduced carbonization.
The Diesel Technology Forum estimates that well over half the trucks on the road today are of the newest generation – 2011 and newer – and only about 20% of all trucks on the road today were built before 2007 and not equipped with PM filter.
Before battery electric and hydrogen fuel cell became the trendy zero emission play, natural gas was the reduced emission alternative. I’ve been in this industry over a decade and I’ve seen natural gas get a big head of steam a few times, but for one reason or another, it just hasn’t taken hold outside of niche applications like transit bus and refuse.
CNG and LNG have faced a lot of the same infrastructure and onboard storage challenges – and fears of the unknown – that electric and hydrogen face now. But there was also a glaring lack of power, which Cummins is on the brink of solving with a 15-liter natural gas engine that is just getting into the hands of fleet partners.
