AVL says its new engine concept, which hails from its motorsport division, banishes the idea that hydrogen combustion offers low performance figures and a lean burn. Its 2.0-liter mill features ...

As AVL points out, the typical hydrogen ICE suffers from low performance numbers owing to lean burn, combustion that involves a high air-to-fuel ratio.

How AVL RACETECH Changed Hydrogen Engine Design Traditional hydrogen engines rely on lean-burn combustion, which sacrifices performance to achieve lower emissions.

But fuel efficiency and driving fun both taper off sharply with combustion-electric hybrids at higher speeds.

In order to increase efficiency and therefore improve fuel consumption of current spark ignited hydrogen ICEs, TUPY, Westport and AVL will jointly work on the development of an HPDI H 2 -ICE.
