BIT, FAW team develops turbocharged, DI hydrogen engine; high power and efficiency, near-zero NOx

Green Car Congress

direct-injection (DI) turbocharged hydrogen engine that delivers clean, efficient, and high-power performance. Peak power of 120 kW @ 4400 rpm and a maximum torque of 340 N·m @ 2000 rpm can be achieved with the matched turbocharger. Hydrogen, as clean and renewable energy, is an ideal fuel for internal combustion engines.
