Mahle Powertrain begins testing commercial hydrogen combustion engines

Mahle Powertrain has entered the testing phase of a project that will promote the use of hydrogen fuel in existing heavy-duty truck engines. Dubbed Project Cavendish, it is a £9.8m (US$12.2m) government-funded program facilitated by the Advanced Propulsion Centre UK (APC).

The project will deliver solutions and a clear upgrade path to enable hydrogen combustion using current platforms and infrastructure. It involves Mahle Powertrain’s flexible testing facility in Northampton, combined with the company’s experience with alternative fuels such as hydrogen and methanol.
