Ricardo advances hydrogen engine; testing prototype at University of Brighton
Ricardo has developed a hydrogen-fueled research engine which could offer a renewable, economic and durable technology solution to accelerate zero-carbon emissions in heavy duty trucks, off-highway machines and marine vessels. Ricardo will be testing the prototype at the engine development facility at the University of Brighton the company’s long-term combustion engine research partner.
Drawing on the company’s proven track record in engine development, and hydrogen technology integration, the test program will evaluate the performance, efficiency and emissions of the engine to assess its feasibility as a future multi-cylinder engine which could be taken into production for Ricardo’s global customers.

Ricardo has placed decarbonization and sustainability at the heart of its strategy. The company has an extensive range of skills relating to the hydrogen agenda, from policy development to infrastructure feasibility through to implementation and integration of hydrogen based technologies for global transport applications.
Ricardo is therefore pleased to become a supporter of Hydrogen Strategy Now and lend its weight to the campaign, which is calling on the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Rt Hon Rishi Sunak MP, for a UK-wide hydrogen strategy.
Tim Curtis, MD of Ricardo Energy and Environment said: “Ricardo has been providing advice to both industry and government clients on hydrogen strategies and technology development for more than 20 years. We share the vision that a clear, strategic plan around hydrogen will help the UK achieve its ambitions to be a net-zero greenhouse gas emissions economy by 2050, and that this plan will foster hydrogen tech
