Vehicles that were once thought to be a vision into the future are now closer to reality. Our advanced hydrogen-powered Ford H2ICE E-450 shuttle bus is already on the road demonstrating the commercial viability of hydrogen-powered vehicles.
Reduced CO2
A Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engine (H2ICE) is a traditional internal combustion engine that is modified to run on hydrogen, rather than gasoline. Compared with today's gasoline engines, H2ICE delivers up to a 99.7 percent reduction in CO2 and includes many of the benefits of a hydrogen fuel cell, but at a fraction of the cost.
Ford H2ICE E-450
The Ford H2ICE E-450 is a Ford E-450 chassis cab with a shuttle bus body and a modified 6.8-liter Tritontm V-10 engine fueled with hydrogen.
The H2ICE E-450 seats up to 12 passengers and their luggage, including the driver. The vehicle is equipped with a 26-gallon equivalent, 5,000 pound-per-square-inch hydrogen fuel tank. Depending on conditions and vehicle load, the bus's range is up to 150 miles.
