The project will demonstrate how state-of-the-art control systems and electric-hybrid components can help hydrogen-fueled engines meet or exceed traditional diesel engines' power density and transient performance. Caterpillar will serve as the prime contractor on the project, providing engine research and development and system integration. As the project progresses, other industry and academic collaborators will be brought into the project to provide additional expertise. The initiative will be delivered at Caterpillar facilities in Chillicothe, 111. and San Antonio, Texas. With research commencing in 2024, the project is supported and partially funded by the US Department of Energy's (DOE) Vehicle Technologies Office (VTO) through the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE). It is included among 45 projects across 18 states and Washington, DC, receiving funding to advance research, development, demonstration, and deployment in several areas critical to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the transportation sector. |
