GM’s Hydrotec power cubes will be used to power Komatsu’s massive mining trucks, the companies announced. GM sees heavy duty trucking as an application for its hydrogen fuel cells.
General Motors announced a new partnership with Japanese construction vehicle manufacturer Komatsu to build heavy-duty mining trucks powered by the automaker’s hydrogen fuel-cell technology. The company will work with the Japanese firm to install its Hydrotec-branded “power cubes,” each containing 300 individual hydrogen fuel cells with an output of 80 kW of new power, into the mining trucks. The amount of power needed for each truck will be immense.
“While batteries work really well for electrifying passenger vehicles or fleets that are localized, it’s not an effective solution for applications with extreme towing or the heaviest of payload requirements,” Freese added in a briefing with reporters. GM has said it wants to use the cubes for a variety of appliances, including mobile generators, temporary EV chargers, and vocational vehicles such as terminal tractors and cement mixers.
