RIL unveils India’s first Hydrogen Combustion Engine technology for heavy-duty trucks

Unique and affordable, this indigenously developed technology solution will have the potential to redefine the future of green mobility

Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) today unveiled India’s first Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engine  technology solution for heavy duty trucks flagged off by Honourable Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the  India Energy Week in Bangalore.

The Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engine (H2ICE) powered trucks will emit near zero emissions, deliver  performance on par with conventional diesel trucks and reduce noise and with projected reductions in  operating costs thus redefining the future of Green Mobility.

As part of its Net carbon Zero vison, Reliance with its vehicle partner Ashok Leyland and other technical  partners are engaged in developing this unique technology since the last year with first engines running in  early 2022. Going forward, Reliance will first extensively test and validate the H2ICE technology for heavy  duty trucks before its first commercial deployment at scale initially across its captive fleet. Simultaneously  Reliance is pursuing the opportunity to create an end-to-end Hydrogen eco system for mobility.
