Hydrogen Powered Muscle Truck: The Future is HERE! Supercharged LS Classic With Zero Emissions

What happens here

The engineers conducted extensive emissions testing on the hydrogen truck, including EPA certification tests such as FTP 74, FTP 75, and USO6. The results were remarkably clean, with 'zero carbon' emissions. The exhaust literally cleans the air as it runs, meaning there's more carbon in the ambient air than coming out of the tailpipe. The initial NOx (nitrogen oxide) emissions were incredibly low at 0.086, with plans to further reduce this by 90% using an after-treatment system.

Goal: Achieve and verify ultra-low emissions for hydrogen combustion.

What they say

Hide

brought emission tests on it we ran EPA certification test FTP 74 FTP 75 and us06 which are the three key kind of tests to validate your where you're at emission wise and there is no carbon it actually there's more carbon in the air than comes off the tailpipes so it actually cleans a little bit of the carbon out of the air as it burns it interesting yeah with EPA test they actually put the vehicle in a controlled cell and they look at everything that comes in and they everything that comes out not just the tailpipes the evaporative everything out of the entire vehicle but you could have some gear Loops built on a header and that would always throw off oh yeah oh yeah yeah you got to make sure you have no leaks and the engine in this is based on a 2014 uh Cadillac CTS-V or a 2014 Camaro so either LS3 or LSA they take a the government takes a all of the emissions it puts them together and they come up with a number and it's defined as a bin this engine when it was new was a bin 150. lower numbers are better so in 2023 a brand new Corvette is certified at bin 125. they've gotten that much better the government regulations have changed that you have to be that much better our first run with this truck with no catalytic converters no exhaust after treatment no tank evap because we don't evap anything right our first run was a bin 70. wow so we're that much better now in 2035 is when today all the
