The H2Rescue truck made history by traveling 1,806 miles (2,906 km) on a single tank of hydrogen. Built by Accelera (Cummins) with support from the DOE, this truck is designed for disaster relief and emergency situations.
Powered by a Cummins Accelera fuel cell engine and a 250-kilowatt motor, the truck used 168 kg (370 lbs) of hydrogen from its 175 kg (386 lb) tank. It cruised at 50–55 mph (80–89 km/h) on public roads, emitting only water.
According to the DOE, the trip saved 664 lbs (301 kg) of CO2 compared to a gasoline truck. The H2Rescue can provide 25kW of power for 72 hours without needing a refuel.
Weighing 33,000 lbs (14,969 kg), this truck carries essential supplies to disaster zones, produces 1 gallon (3.8 liters) of water per hour, and could save 1,825 gallons (6,908 liters) of gasoline annually, reducing emissions by 2.5 metric tons.
