Brunel: Realising heavy-duty hydrogen thermal engines beyond Euro VII

康明斯及其供应链合作伙伴-博格华纳、Zircotec和约翰逊万丰-正在合作开发一种基于其优化的火花点火平台的新型零二氧化碳氢内燃机概念（H2-ICE）。Brunel项目的目标是以新型燃油喷射技术为基础，彻底降低灵活燃烧和后处理架构的复杂性。该联盟的方法旨在显著改善替代燃料动力系统的性能、前期成本、耐用性/可靠性和无二氧化碳排放。在实现可接受的功率密度和热效率的条件下，发展可以加速采用H2-ICE作为柴油ICE的直接替代品，同时保护英国供应链。

Cummins and their partners in the supply chain - BorgWarner, Zircotec and Johnson Matthey - are collaborating to develop a novel zero-CO2 hydrogen internal combustion engine concept (H2-ICE), based on their optimised spark-ignited platform. The Brunel project targets potentially transformative reductions in complexity of a flexible combustion and aftertreatment architecture, underpinned by novel fuel injection technology.The consortium's approach targets significant improvements in performance for alternatively-fuelled powertrains, upfront costs, durability/reliability and non-CO2 emissions. Conditional on achieving acceptable power density and thermal efficiency, developments can accelerate the adoption of H2-ICE as direct substitutes for diesel ICEs, whilst safeguarding UK supply chains.
