Mitsubishi trucks unit and Iwatani to study subcooled liquid hydrogen refuelling


Japan-based Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corp (MFTBC) and industrial gas company Iwatani, also of Japan, have signed a memorandum of understanding to study liquid hydrogen (sLH2) refuelling technology for hydrogen-powered commercial vehicles.

Japan-based Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corp (MFTBC) and industrial gas company Iwatani, also of Japan, have signed a memorandum of understanding to study liquid hydrogen (sLH2) refuelling technology for hydrogen-powered commercial vehicles.

Both companies were already actively researching the challenge, with subcooled liquid hydrogen having many advantages. It allows for higher storage density, greater range, faster refuelling, lower costs and better energy efficiency.

The plan from here is that Iwatani and MFTBC will together study the technical, commercial, and regulatory aspects of delivering subcooled liquid hydrogen, with the aim of realising its potential as quickly as possible.
