According to some experts, sustainable mobility has entered a phase that could be described as “experimental”. A team of scientists surprised this year by demonstrating it precisely with a engine predicted a century ago and running on a fuel almost unknown in the world. It’s better than VE (in fact, they are already talking about their end, and Tesla is watching them with concern). It is neither American, nor German, nor Japanese, which explains the unexpected nature of the first prototype presented.
100 years ago, this engine was predicted: Today it was built, and it is exactly like that.
The Triton EV was recently presented to the public, excited by the incorporation of a new technology called hydrogen internal combustion engine (HICE), unique in the automotive industry. The Triton EV’s hydrogen engine works on the basic mechanism of internal combustion engines, but it is specially configured for hydrogen.

The most significant changes concern the fuel injection and ignition systems, which have been adapted to take into account the special nature of hydrogen.
- Zero emissions: The hydrogen engine is the most efficient in terms of emissions: the quantity of greenhouse gases emitted by the hydrogen engine is zero, the exhaust gases being limited to water vapor.
- High octane: This means that the fuel used has a high octane rating, which allows for higher compression ratios. This helps increase the power and efficiency of motors used in machines.
- Energy density: Hydrogen is an energy-intensive fuel, meaning it produces more energy than other conventional fuels. This feature is essential to improve the general functionality of cars equipped with hydrogen engines.
The Triton EV’s hydrogen engine, in detail: Why it could be the future “running” only on water vapor
According to company reports, the Triton EV’s hydrogen engine is expected to deliver, if not more, power than that produced by traditional internal combustion engines, as well as smooth driving performance, regardless of whatever the condition of the road. For small car, daily city car, cruiser car or the driver of a commercial vehicle, this motor provides the necessary power and torque.
However, in addition to high performance standards, emphasis is placed on engine durability and reliability, achieved through the use of new materials and high-tech production methods. The ideas presented here should help reduce frequent maintenance and increase the usefulness of this engine to the automotive market.

It won’t be as easy as it seems: India has “problems” with its first hydrogen engine.
Currently, Triton EV wants to establish partnerships with other car manufacturers to popularize the use of its hydrogen engine. THEcommercial and non-commercial vehicle manufacturers can approach the company to obtain the hydrogen engine, as the company wants to expand its market opportunities.
Himanshu Patel, Managing Director of Triton EV, described the working capacity of this hydrogen engine as widely applicable as it not only helps manage carbon emissions but also reduces the price of trucks. This statement envisions the affordability of hydrogen engines, raising the possibility of widespread adoption of sustainable transportation by consumers and businesspeople.
What could be the first Triton EV hydrogen engine will still have to pass several tests (and we are not talking about technical tests). The first is to demonstrate its viability and effectiveness compared to those of Japan; the second is to overcome fierce competition from brands such as Toyota or Yamaha; and the third is to develop a fuel supply and production network in the country, which does not yet have an adequate decarbonization strategy.
