Mercedes-Benz Special Trucks is testing a Unimog prototype with hydrogen combustion engine

Wörth am Rhein/Bayreuth - Mercedes-Benz Special Trucks has tested a Unimog implement carrier prototype with a hydrogen combustion engine in real operation. The Unimog is a test vehicle that is used to research the conditions under which hydrogen combustion can be implemented as a supplement to battery-electric and fuel-cell-based drives. On a decommissioned section of the highway between Bayreuth and Bamberg, engineers collected measurement data when mowing the verge, accelerating and refueling at a public gas station. The data will be used for further vehicle development. Employees from Autobahn GmbH accompanied the tests. Practical testing at low temperatures and in varied topography is an important step in the ongoing "WaVe" development project, in which 18 partners are working together on the hydrogen combustion engine drive concept.
