Luxfer Gas Cylinders has developed the UK's first mass-produced hydrogen-electric truck. Tevva, a maker of electric trucks, modified its battery-electric heavy-duty vehicle to incorporate a hydrogen fuel cell system that recharges the battery and increases its range by 310 miles. Following the introduction of the nation's first mass-produced hydrogen-electric truck, which represents the next phase of the transition from fossil-based fuels to low carbon energy, the UK has hit a "historic milestone" in its march toward net zero. Together with Tevva engineers and experts in alternative fuels, Luxfer Gas Cylinders (Luxfer) developed the truck's "plug and play" hydrogen storage system. The engineers of the UK-based gas equipment specialist assisted Tevva, a maker of electric trucks, in modifying the design of its battery-electric heavy-duty vehicle to incorporate a hydrogen fuel cell system that recharges the truck's battery and increases i...
