Trucks with a hydrogen engine are making waves in the world of clean transportation, and the H2Rescue truck has just set a new Guinness World Record to prove it.
Developed by Cummins Accelera in collaboration with the US Department of Energy and the Department of Defense, this impressive vehicle has traveled a staggering 1,806 miles on a single tank of hydrogen.

Record journey
The H2Rescue truck was on its way record trip to Californiawhich carries 386 pounds of hydrogen fuel. During the entire trip, it was driven during rush hours, maintained a speed of 50 to 55 mph, and operated in temperatures between 60 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit.

The truck’s performance was closely monitored by a Guinness World Records judge, who ensured the integrity of the test by sealing the hydrogen tank before departure.

Impressive technology
The H2Rescue truck is equipped with a Cummins Accelera fuel cell engine and a 250 kW traction motor. During its record-breaking run, it consumed 370 pounds of hydrogen, demonstrating the effectiveness of hydrogen fuel cell technology. The most striking aspect of this trip? The truck emitted absolutely nothing but water vapor from the exhaust pipe.

Impact on the environment
By using hydrogen instead of gasoline, the H2Rescue truck saved a whopping 664 pounds of carbon emissions compared to a conventional truck of the same size covering the same distance. This demonstrates the potential of hydrogen-powered vehicles in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and combating climate change.

TECHNOLOGY IS RETURNING LARGE PLANTS, TRUCKS AND EVEN SELF-DRIVING VEHICLES
More than just a record holder
The H2Rescue truck isn’t just about setting records. It is designed for real emergency scenarios. The vehicle can provide 25 kilowatts of power from its fuel cells for up to 72 hours without refueling, enough to power several FEMA trailers during critical emergency operations.
The 33,000-pound truck is reliably built to transport essential supplies directly to disaster areas where infrastructure may be damaged. As an additional innovative feature, the truck produces about a gallon of water per hour as a byproduct, which, while not a huge source of water, represents a small but intriguing potential benefit in emergency situations where resources may be scarce.

The bigger picture
The Department of Energy estimates that replacing traditional emergency response vehicles with H2Rescue trucks could save about 1,825 gallons of gasoline per year and reduce annual greenhouse gas emissions by 2.8 tons. This demonstrates the significant potential of hydrogen fuel cell technology for heavy-duty transportation and emergency response.
