ASKO, Norway's largest grocery wholesaler, plans to conduct an evaluation test project in Trondheim using Scania electric trucks powered by Cummins hydrogen fuel cell modules to improve the efficiency, low emissions and sustainability of the company's extensive distribution network.
ASKO, Norway's largest grocery wholesaler, plans to conduct an evaluation test project in Trondheim using Scania electric trucks powered by Cummins hydrogen fuel cell modules to improve the efficiency, low emissions and sustainability of the company's extensive distribution network.
For this project, the Scania vehicle is equipped with a 56kWh lithium-ion battery and a 90kW proton exchange membrane fuel cell. Proton exchange membrane fuel cells use only hydrogen as fuel, using the chemical energy of hydrogen and oxygen to generate electricity, just as diesel engines rely on diesel and oxygen supplies.
Principle of hydrogen fuel cell power generation
The Scania truck in this project has a hydrogen storage pressure of 35MPa and a hydrogen storage capacity of 33kg, which can achieve a endurance of 400-500 km.
Cummins was founded in 1919 and is headquartered in Columbus, Indiana, USA. Cummins is currently comprised of five business divisions: Engines/Powertrains/Components/Distribution Systems/New Energy Power.
Cummins has 5 business units
The New Energy Power Division, which includes two parts of the business of electric power and hydrogen energy technology and products, was established in 2019 by the merger of the former electric Power Division and hydrogen energy business. The Hydrogen Power business designs and manufactures industrial and commercial hydrogen production, hydrogen fuel cells, and megawatt-scale energy storage solutions.
In September 2019, Cummins completed the acquisition of Hydrogenics, a leading global supplier of fuel cell and hydrogen technology.

In September 2019, Cummins signed a memorandum of understanding with Hyundai Motor Company to collaborate on the development of hydrogen fuel cell technology in the North American market.
Cummins partnered with Hyundai
In September 2019, Cummins made an initial investment in LoopEnergy; In March 2020, Cummins made an additional investment in LoopEnergy. LoopEnergy is the industry's leading supplier of fuel cell electric range extenders for a wide range of medium and heavy duty transportation applications.

At present, Cummins has a complete industrial capability from hydrogen production technology to hydrogen fuel cell manufacturing, and can provide users with complete and unique hydrogen fuel cell solutions that seamlessly meet customer needs.
ASKO began exploring alternative fuel and powertrain solutions for its truck fleet in 2017, ultimately deciding on a hydrogen powertrain. The 27-ton truck's internal combustion engine was replaced by an electric engine, which is powered by a hydrogen fuel cell and managed by a rechargeable battery. (Source: Hydrogen Sea Lord)
