Hydrogen powered truck Making waves in the world of clean transportation, the H2Rescue truck just set a new Guinness World Record to prove it.
Developed by Cummins Accelera in partnership with the U.S. Departments of Energy and Defense, this impressive vehicle can travel 1,806 miles on just one tank of hydrogen.

record breaking journey
H2 rescue truck begins its journey California record tripcarrying 386 pounds of hydrogen fuel. Throughout the trip, it navigated rush hour traffic, maintained speeds between 50 and 55 mph, and operated in temperatures of 60 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit.

Impressive technology
H2Rescue Truck Powered by Cummins Accelera fuel cell engine and 250kW traction motor. During its record-breaking run, it consumed 370 pounds of hydrogen, demonstrating the efficiency of hydrogen fuel cell technology. What was the most striking aspect of this journey? Trucks emit nothing but water vapor in the tailpipe.

environmental impact
By using hydrogen instead of gasoline, the H2Rescue truck can reduce CO2 emissions by up to 664 pounds compared to a conventional truck of the same size traveling the same distance. This demonstrates the potential of hydrogen-powered vehicles to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change.

More than just breaking records
The H2Rescue truck isn’t just about setting records. It is designed for real-world emergency response scenarios. The vehicle can provide 25 kilowatts of electricity via a fuel cell and can last up to 72 hours without refueling, which is enough to power multiple FEMA trailers during critical emergency operations.
The truck weighs 33,000 pounds and is ruggedly constructed to deliver essential goods directly to disaster areas where infrastructure may be damaged. As an added innovative feature, the truck can produce about a gallon of water per hour as a by-product, which, while not a huge source of water, represents a small but interesting potential benefit in emergency situations where resources are scarce.

The bigger picture
The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that replacing traditional emergency response vehicles with H2Rescue trucks will save approximately 1,825 gallons of gasoline per year and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2.8 tons per year. This demonstrates the huge potential of hydrogen fuel cell technology in heavy-duty transportation and emergency response applications.
