GlobalData: China advancing hydrogen engines to meet sustainability goals

Green Car Congress

As much as skeptics insist that the internal combustion engine (ICE) is dead and hydrogen is a non-starter, it appears that significant research and development is being conducted into the technology across geographies. These engines offer zero vehicular emissions, quick charging, and better ranges. China Yuchai.
