Reinventing the internal combustion engine to run on zero carbon hydrogen fuel is the aim of the Cummins technical centre at Darlington. The work on the Cummins hydrogen fuelled internal combustion engine (H2-ICE) will carry on Darlington’s long tradition of skilled engineering which will continue to grow for many years to come as part of a green revolution in how we power trucks, excavators and other equipment towards zero carbon.

This pioneering project to develop a hydrogen-fuelled engine could potentially prevent over 11 million tons of carbon a year going into the atmosphere, equivalent to the yearly emissions of 2.4 million cars. Through this work Cummins Darlington has been awarded funding from Advanced Propulsion Centre UK and UK government to develop a zero carbon, hydrogen-fuelled engine.
