The Hydrogen Heavy Duty Vehicle Industry Group, consisting of Air Liquide, Hyundai, Nel Hydrogen, Nikola Company, Shell and Toyota, has signed an agreement with Tatsuno and Transfer Oil SpA to replace the global standard 70 MPa hydrogen heavy vehicle high flow rate (H70HF) Refuel the hardware components.

The Industrial Group was established in February 2019 with the goal of solving hydrogen fuel hardware challenges and achieving the fuel speed required for today's heavy-duty applications. Other goals include testing and evaluating hardware performance and standardizing connector design to ensure global adoption.

The team developed specifications for fuel nozzles, vehicle sockets, fuel hoses, and separation device components for this heavy-duty application.

This is based on the cooperation of the hydrogen industry, which has realized the global standard refueling interface for light fuel cell electric vehicles.

Tatsuno is an international hydrogen fuel equipment supplier established in 1911. It is designing and developing vehicle containers and dispenser nozzles and separation components. Transfer Oil is considered one of the most valuable manufacturers of reinforced thermoplastic hoses in the industry, and is leading the design and development of refueling hoses for hydrogen distributors.

The hydrogenation hardware is expected to support an average hydrogenation rate of 10 kg/min-in line with the US Department of Energy's hydrogen fuel long-distance tractor-trailer technology goal. The test is planned to be conducted in an independent test facility and is scheduled to begin in the fourth quarter of 2021. Initial performance and safety results will be provided in the first quarter of 2022.
