Air Products (AP) and Cummins, a global power and hydrogen technologies leader, jointly announced the signing of MOU to work together to accelerate the integration of hydrogen fuel cell trucks in the Americas, Europe and Asia.

Cummins will provide hydrogen fuel cell electric powertrains integrated into selected OEM partners’ heavy-duty trucks for AP, as AP begins the process of converting its global fleet of distribution vehicles to hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.

Following a successful demonstration and pilot phase, AP plans to convert its global fleet of approximately 2,000 trucks to hydrogen fuel cell zero-emission vehicles. Cummins and AP expect the demonstration phase to begin in 2022.

Additionally, both companies will work together to increase the accessibility of renewable hydrogen, including hydrogen infrastructure opportunities that promote the adoption of hydrogen for mobility.
