MAHLE Powertrain Converts 13-Litre Engine to Hydrogen Under Project Cavendish
MAHLE Powertrain has converted a 13-litre heavy-duty engine to operate solely on hydrogen, matching the torque of its diesel counterpart. This achievement is part of the £9.8 million Project Cavendish, aimed at advancing hydrogen powertrain capabilities and supporting the UK's net-zero transport goals.

MAHLE Powertrain successfully converted a 13-litre heavy-duty engine to run on hydrogen, achieving torque levels equivalent to a diesel engine. The project, part of the £9.8 million initiative supported by the Advanced Propulsion Centre UK, aims to develop hydrogen powertrains for heavy-duty applications.
Emissions data indicates that NOx levels can be maintained below 0.2 g/kWh, with negligible particulate emissions. The facility in Northampton will also offer hydrogen engine testing opportunities for external partners. This advancement positions MAHLE Powertrain as a leader in hydrogen combustion technology, with expectations for increased commercialization and interest from new customers in the coming year.
