As fleets work towards reducing emissions, understanding the differences in aftertreatment systems for various fuel types is crucial. The adoption and growth of hydrogen internal combustion engines (ICE) is a significant step as hydrogen ICE provides a low-emission, low-carbon option for a more sustainable transportation sector. The mechanisms that clean exhaust gases in these engines are fundamentally the same as diesel ICE, with the key difference being what is in the exhaust gas to start with.

Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are advanced energy storage solutions that store electrical energy for later use. They can be recharged when there is an excess supply of electricity, often at lower costs, or when intermittent renewable energy sources, such as solar or wind, are generating power. BESS can then discharge the stored energy to provide a dedicated power supply, support microgrids or supplement the general grid during periods of high demand or when electricity prices are elevated.

The transportation industry is navigating the delicate balance between performance enhancement and sustainability. A pivotal aspect of this journey is the evolution of engine braking and Valvetrain technologies due to the direct link these components have with engine performance and fuel consumption. This article helps explain the latest developments around braking and Valvetrain technologies, and how they are contributing to improved performance while complying with emissions regulations.
