CV industry gears up for a challenging tech transition; some bet on only two options for industry and govt investment – ET Auto

Baua Electric

A thought process that has emerged in the recent past at Ashok Leyland’s technical centre, and of other OEMs too, is to develop engine platforms that can run on more than one fuel, with some modular changes. Now we are saying, instead of just being a diesel or a gasoline or CNG, it has to be (fuel) agnostic,” Dr. Saravanan told ETAuto.

Naysayer Alert – the hydrogen red herring

My Electric Car

The hydrogen fuel cell in the FCEV acts to keep the battery charged, but can directly power the electric drive motor, similar to the function of a gasoline-powered range extender. In essence the FCEV is firstly an electric car with a hydrogen fuel cell range extender added. Hydrogen is a classic one to one substitution.

Opinion: Debunking the mythsWhy fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) are viable for the mass market

Green Car Congress

This is not much different from diesel and gasoline which are produced from refining and cleaning crude oil (a process which heavily involves the use of hydrogen). In addition, fuel cell vehicles have zero-CO 2 and zero particulate tailpipe emissions. The cost of making fuel cell vehicles has recently dropped dramatically.

Using the PHEV (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle) to Transition Society Seamlessly and Profitably From Fossil Fuel to 100% Renewable Energy

Green Car Congress

The alternative-fuel car evolved to reduce exhaust emissions and other problems derived from burning fossil fuels. The PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle), a subset of the electric car, combines a primary electric motor with a much smaller back-up engine fueled with a hydrocarbon/biofuel mix. It is much more than that.
