Scania has entered into a research project with Canadian Westport Fuel Systems, in order to try a High Pressure Direct Injection (HPDI) fuel system using hydrogen to the latest Scania internal combustion engine (ICE).

The possibility of using an ICE as an energy converter for hydrogen is an interesting track to explore. It is a well-known and widespread technology that could be used in Scania’s current production systems, and that is what Westport is looking to enable with their HPDI.
