Accelerating Zero-Emission, Heavy-Duty Hydrogen Mobility in California
Symbio North America leads the H2 Central Valley Express project that has been initiated to support the State of California’s roadmap toward carbon neutrality by 2045. The project was granted $2 Million from the California Energy Commission (CEC), and gathers industry leaders such as Frontier Energy, GTI, Michelin, Ricardo, and Total Transportation Services (TTSI).
A 400 kW hydrogen truck to achieve zero-emission heavy-duty mobility
This regional 8-class vehicle, retrofitted with a powerful 400 kW Symbio fuel cell is being repowered to Hydrogen in our Temecula plant. Replacing a 15-liter diesel powertrain, our truck bed fuel cell solution features unprecedented range and performance capabilities.
Over the course of 12 months, this hydrogen-powered truck will be traveling back and forth on a 400-mile section of the Interstate 5, from Fontana, Inland Empire to Lathrop, Northern San Joaquin Valley. The project will use existing and future hydrogen infrastructure from providers like Air Liquide, Shell, and Trillium.
Its purpose extends far beyond transportation: it is to overcome the barriers of zero-emission mobility development by demonstrating that zero-emission, heavy-duty hydrogen trucks are as reliable and convenient as their thermal counterparts.
