A new hydrogen engine is appearing in the industry and shaking things up. It could spell the end of electric and combustion vehicles. A company in the sector unveiled it at CES2024. The hydrogen engine is one of the most interesting proposals for replacing combustion vehicles.
This new technology is green and much more environmentally friendly than all other existing routes. By improving and refining the way green hydrogen is made, the stakes for these vehicles have risen and continue to rise.
In this context, a well-known company has expressed its commitment to this type of technology. As IoT Today reports, Bosch has shown the future of sustainable mobility with new technology that is set to change everything. The German company is committed to a sustainable initiative. It has a very clear objective: to launch a hydrogen engine by 2024, thus joining the list of engine manufacturers who are banking on this type of product.
Bosch has a clear goal with its hydrogen engine.
It joins manufacturers like Hyundai, Kia and Toyota, which have already shown their commitment to a sustainable future. Bosch has already bet millions of dollars on improving hydrogen and has been trying to perfect its techniques for many years. Spain is one of the countries making the most efforts to reduce its environmental footprint. Bosch has signed a strategic alliance with a number of companies, such as Repsol, to further investigate the possibility of deploying hydrogen in Spain.
Thanks to partnerships like this, a number of firm proposals are coming to our country. In the rest of Europe, the initiative seems similar and it is believed that the Old Continent will see its demand for hydrogen increase by 510% in the coming years, which opens the door to a new market in an interesting way .
Why is the hydrogen engine more popular than electric or combustion cars?
Combustion cars have long been questioned due to the high emissions they release into the environment. It looked like electric vehicles were going to take them out of the equation and provide a greener option. However, they pose a number of fundamental problems, such as very high consumption of lithium batteries, polluting manufacturing and shortage problems.
All of these factors, coupled with the inability of electric vehicles to deliver the promised range and charging speeds, have led the world to view hydrogen cars more favorably. Their strengths include that they are inexpensive to build and their fuel is green, sustainable, efficient and inexpensive to obtain.
Bosch is betting that the hydrogen engine can change the automotive world.
Bosch took advantage of the CES2024 event in Las Vegas to announce the arrival of its hydrogen engine. The fact that the United States has invested in hydrogen alongside the European Union reassures businesses. Despite this, the company has already announced previous investments in the development of hydrogen fuel cells for cars.
In France there is growing interest in hydrogen as a fuel and Bosch is participating in a consortium with Repsol and other companies for this purpose. Other companies in the sector are banking on the strength of this market in the future.
