What’s the future of zero-emission haulage? At Viritech, we set out to answer this question with Project ICEBreaker as part of the Advanced Route to Market Demonstrator Programme, part-funded by the Advanced Propulsion Centre UK alongside project partners HORIBA MIRA and Intelligent Energy. In just 12 months, we went from a blank sheet of paper to retrofitting a 40t Internal Combustion Engined Volvo tractor unit with an FC powertrain. The result? A hydrogen-powered demonstrator HGV that achieves weight parity with the ICE donor vehicle, maintains ISO trailer compatibility and is designed for real-world fleet operations. With up to 500km range potential, Project ICEBreaker proves hydrogen’s viability for long-haul transport.

Viritech is delighted to be attending the HyHAUL Mobility Showcase today at UTAC Millbrook. The event provides a platform for haulage operators to explore the deployment of hydrogen in heavy goods vehicles with live demonstrations and an opportunity for key industry players to come together to discuss the future of zero-emission mobility. We’re showcasing Project ICEBreaker, our 44t proof-of-concept HGV, highlighting the commercial viability of fuel cell powertrain technology. Learn more about ICEBreaker here: https://lnkd.in/ehXxGF-h As the UK’s largest hydrogen mobility corridor takes shape, this event represents a vital step in advancing the decarbonisation of heavy goods mobility. #HydrogenMobility #Viritech #Innovation #Hydrogen #FCEV

ICEBreaker hydrogen HGV Two companies have teamed up to build a hydrogen-powered HGV using a fuel-cell powerplant, as Peter Donaldson reports. Spearheaded by powertrain energy-management specialist VIRITECH, Project ICEBreaker has built a hydrogen-powered heavy goods vehicle (HGV) using a fuel-cell power plant, focusing on minimising the weight penalty compared with internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. With a focus on demonstrating the capability of hydrogen fuel-cell power in an economically vital transport sector, the project brings together HORIBA MIRA, a leading provider of mobility engineering, testing and verification services, and fuel-cell systems manufacturer Intelligent Energy (IE), which is collaborating on the development of the powertrain, the fuel cell and associated components.

Last week, Viritech’s CTO, Simon Willis, had the pleasure of attending the Harwich Clean Energy and Maritime Innovation Cluster Forum. Hosted by Freeport East, Tendring District Council, the University of Essex, and in collaboration with the EastWind Offshore Cluster, the event proved valuable in discussing connections with key players in the maritime industry. World shipping currently accounts for 3% of global CO2 emissions, and while there is no single solution to achieving zero emissions, hydrogen is set to play a significant role in the sector’s decarbonisation journey. At Viritech, we’re immensely proud to support those navigating the complex challenges surrounding hydrogen-powered maritime solutions.
