HD Development Gear, which is about to launch in January subsequent yr, will unveil its 22-liter large-scale hydrogen engine for the primary time at Korea’s largest hydrogen trade exhibition.
The corporate introduced on Dec. 3 that it’s going to take part within the World Hydrogen Expo 2025 (WHE 2025) to be held at KINTEX in Ilsan from Dec. 4-7. WHE 2025 is Korea’s consultant hydrogen trade occasion, and from this yr, the Hydrogen Worldwide Convention and the commercial exhibition H2 MEET have been built-in, increasing its scale. The exhibition will characteristic 250 corporations from 20 nations together with main Korean corporations and abroad members from the US, Germany, and the UK, with roughly 30 thousand guests anticipated.
HD Development Gear will showcase its hydrogen engine expertise portfolio masking each mobility and energy era sectors at this exhibition. The corporate plans to collectively exhibit the 11-liter hydrogen engine HX12 for autos and energy era and the 22-liter large-scale hydrogen engine HX22 for energy era, unveiling main improvement achievements.
Specifically, the 22-liter hydrogen engine is the world’s largest, that includes a V-type 12-cylinder construction with most output of 600 kilowatts (kW·816 horsepower) and steady output of 477kW (649 horsepower). This stage can meet the annual electrical energy demand of roughly 200 households. HX22 efficiently accomplished its first ignition ceremony on the Gunsan plant final month, coming into the demonstration part for carbon-free large-scale hydrogen engines in earnest.
HX12 has had its efficiency and sturdiness verified by over 1,500 hours of hydrogen engine generator demonstration operation and mounting checks on massive cargo vehicles and excavators. HX12 goals for mass manufacturing by the top of subsequent yr. The corporate can also be pursuing commercialization of hydrogen engine vehicles in 2027, hydrogen engine turbines in 2029, and hydrogen engine excavators in 2030.
Lim Hyung-taek, head of HD Development Gear’s Engine Enterprise Division, stated, “We are going to introduce the event standing of carbon-free hydrogen engines that we’ve got independently pursued at this exhibition,” including, “Primarily based on world-class expertise, we’ll progressively increase the appliance vary of hydrogen engines within the energy era and mobility sectors.”
HD Development Gear, which is able to launch in January subsequent yr by the merger of HD Hyundai Infracore and HD Hyundai Development Gear, plans to constantly develop and strengthen applied sciences together with carbon-free energy era options based mostly on hydrogen engines, hydrogen powertrains for big industrial autos and building gear, and direct injection hydrogen engines.
