Voith HySTech (ehem. Composites)

Our Tobias Baumann, Product Manager, will be on stage tomorrow at 4:15 pm at the CTI SYMPOSIUM - Automotive • Powertrain • Systems in Berlin together with Dr. Andreas Broda from MAN Truck & Bus SE to talk about the “Voith Plug & Drive Hydrogen Storage System” integrated into the MAN hTGX. The deep dive session will provide exciting insights into the MAN hTGX - an HD tractor equipped with a hydrogen combustion engine - and the development of Voith's 700 bar hydrogen storage technology platform.   About CTI Symposium:  Annual meeting of international car manufacturers, newcomers and leading suppliers to the passenger car and commercial vehicle industry to exchange information on the latest drive technologies for carbon-free mobility.

We are driven by technology and innovation. These two passions we use to decarbonize the transport sector of the future by enabling H2 propulsion for heavy-duty commercial vehicles through efficient hydrogen storage. With our unique and efficient hydrogen storage technologies, we make it easier for truck manufacturers to integrate an H2 propulsion system and ensure that truck owners can enjoy a worry-free, comfortable ride with maximum safety throughout the entire service life.

Happy World Sustainable Transport Day! Every year, on November 26, we set an example to think about safer, more efficient, more sustainable and more environmentally friendly transportation. But not only on this one day, no, every day we have set ourselves the task and goal of decarbonizing transport and thus making it more environmentally friendly and sustainable. How are we pursuing this? Visit us and get an impression: https://lnkd.in/eWbcHprF #Sustainability #H2 #Decarbonization #Transportation #Voith

Humanity is facing the task of decarbonizing transportation. Due to this global trend towards reducing emissions and promoting sustainable energy sources, hydrogen propulsion is becoming increasingly important. We are aware of this responsibility and have developed a unique H2 storage solution for heavy commercial vehicles that addresses the needs of both truck OEMs and truck drivers. The Voith Plug & Drive H2 Storage System is a modular, platform-based storage solution that can be filled with hydrogen in about 10 minutes. Depending on the configuration, the H2 system can cover between 600 and 1000 km after a single refueling. The lightweight system is space-optimized and therefore a suitable alternative to diesel drives for trucks, for example.

Winding machines are specialized machines that produce cylindrical bodies such as rollers and tanks. In our video you can see the amazing artwork of simultaneous towpreg tank wrapping. The winding machine places a special, pre-impregnated high-performance carbon fiber around the so-called liner while it rotates. This liner is responsible for holding the smallest element in the world, hydrogen, in place. The CFRP allowes to store the hydrogen at high pressure. But the material alone is not the only decisive factor. The winding technique (towpreg vs. wet winding) and the correctly set winding angles ensure an even and optimized distribution of the material, which increases the structural integrity of the tank. Likewise, our fully automated equipment ensures that the process is optimized, production speed is increased and quality is assured. In addition to these aspects, the manufacture of pressure tanks requires strict safety standards. Therefore, safety tests are constantly carried out to ensure that our R134 certified tanks “Carbon4Tank” remain roadworthy.

Hydrogen fact that you may not know: Did you know that hydrogen has antioxidant properties and can therefore serve as medicine for humans? Hydrogen gas (H₂) has antioxidant properties and can help reduce oxidative stress damage in cells. Research is investigating whether hydrogen therapies can have positive effects on various diseases, including inflammatory diseases. It seems that hydrogen is a panacea for both humans and our planet.  This is because gaseous hydrogen can also be used to power heavy commercial vehicles and thus protect our environment from harmful emissions. What a superhero among the elements this H2 is. Would you like to find out how we can make use of this superhero in transportation?

Gaseous hydrogen can be stored under high pressure (typically up to 700 bar) in composite tanks. The advantages of these tanks are that they are relatively compact and still store large quantities of hydrogen. They are well suited for mobile applications, such as in H2 combustion or fuel cell vehicles. The high pressure requires robust but lightweight materials such as CFRP so that the tanks can store the required pressures, which are more than two times higher than the official working pressure. This is tested by the so-called burst pressure test and is part of the UNECE R134 certification process. The tanks are pressurized to their maximum capacity until they burst. Here is an exciting video of our high-pressure hydrogen tank “Carbon4Tank”, which was delivered to the test in a quarry.  One of our focuses is on improving the efficient use of materials to reduce costs, increase safety, reduce geometry and weight and increase performance. We have made it our mission to decarbonize our future. The storage of hydrogen in tanks is a promising field with considerable potential for a sustainable energy future.

Jump on the hydrogen truck of the future! It's your ticket to sustainable long-distance transport with heavy commercial vehicles. The Carbon4Tank is a true space miracle, which forms the optimum between hydrogen capacity and tank size to make H2 interesting for heavy goods transport. But that's not all! With our unique towpreg filament winding technology, we have elevated the mass production of these robust and featherweight tanks to an art form. These tanks are the core element to bring hydrogen trucks on the road. So, what are you waiting for?
