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. GAC Motor (GAC) tested a hydrogen combustion engine that has a high thermal efficiency of 44%. China Yuchai.
