Abstract

The article discusses MAN's new hydrogen combustion engine, which is already available while fuel cell trucks are still in development. The engine follows the Otto principle and has a displacement of 16.8 liters. It requires specialized spark plugs and injectors, and achieves an efficiency of 45%. The engine's driving characteristics are similar to diesel engines, but it produces less background noise and has lower emissions. The article also mentions the cost considerations of hydrogen combustion engines, including the higher cost of specialized tanks and fuel. [Extracted from the article]
