Iveco Group , by means of its model IVECO BUS, will associate with HTWO to equip its future European hydrogen-powered buses with world-leading gas cell programs. HTWO, as a gas cell system-based hydrogen enterprise model of Hyundai Motor Group, was first launched in December 2020 with Hyundai’s sturdy dedication to hydrogen economic system.
With its confirmed gas cell expertise utilized in Hyundai FCEVs, HTWO is increasing the availability of gas cell expertise to different car OEMs and non-automobile sectors to make hydrogen obtainable for all the pieces.

Gas Cell Stack. Gas cell stacks include tons of of cells, every consisting of an electrolyte membrane, separator and catalyst, a gas electrode and an air electrode. (2) Gas Processing System. The gas processing system is chargeable for transferring hydrogen safely saved within the hydrogen tank from excessive strain to low strain and transferring it to the gas cell stack. It additionally improves the effectivity of the hydrogen provide by means of the recirculation line. (3) Air Processing System. The oxygen essential to react with hydrogen is drawn from the environment. Such air drawn into the FCEV passes by means of an air purification system that cleans it of particulates and different undesirable matter, leaving the air cleaner. That is mandatory for conserving the gas cell stack from pollution. (4) Thermal Administration System. Gas cell programs require a thermal administration system to handle the temperature of the gas cell stack. That is to stop the electrolyte membrane throughout the gas cell stack from being uncovered to excessive warmth, as that might curb optimum efficiency and lifespan.
IVECO BUS is already collaborating in European tenders for gas cell buses powered by HTWO. Moreover, the lately introduced plan to restart manufacturing of buses in Italy will present one other alternative to fabricate new buses powered by HTWO’s hydrogen gas cells.
This initiative goals to leverage the distinctive expertise and competencies of each entities within the urgently wanted renewal of Italy’s public transport.
By collaborating with an business chief like HTWO, constructed upon Hyundai’s 20-plus years of expertise in hydrogen gas cell expertise, we at IVECO BUS can reply quickly to buyer requests for zero-emission automobiles powered by cutting- edge propulsion expertise. Now we have already began submitting public tenders for hydrogen-powered buses and can proceed within the coming months; as we go on enjoying our main position within the power transition of Europe’s mass passenger transport phase.
