This truck is zero emissions, but it is not electric, nor does it run on hydrogen, but on ammonia

It seems that to drive without polluting there are more options than electric battery and fuel cell

Amogy, an American company specializing in the development of efficient transport solutions, presents the world’s first ammonia truck. It is thus presented

The company has been working on this technology for years. In fact, in July 2021 he put it to the test on a 5 kW drone and, a year later, on a 100 kW John Deere brand tractor. The truck is, therefore, the third vehicle in which it tests its zero-emission ammonia.

As of today, data from European associations calculate that heavy trucks are responsible for 23% of the continent’s polluting emissions. Solutions like this can be a real alternative to fix the problem.

actual test

Amogy’s ammonia truck can store up to 900 kWh in three tanks. To test its effectiveness and, above all, its efficiency, the truck has been running for several hours on the campus of Stony Brook University. During this test, ammonia technology has proven to be a viable and sustainable solution for heavy transport.

The next step will come in the next few days, when the Amogy team has prepared a full-scale test on a track where it will reproduce real-world operating conditions.

Cleaner and more efficient than hydrogen

There are several advantages to using Amogy’s ammonia technology over battery electric and fuel cell trucks.

One of these is the speed of recharging: Amogy’s truck’s three tanks recover to full capacity in just eight minutes, almost less than the time it takes a heavy-duty diesel truck to fill its tanks with fuel.

In addition, Amogy engineers claim to have found that this technology is up to three times more efficient than hydrogen on the road thanks to its higher energy density. Without forgetting that ammonia is a very common element, since every year more than 200 tons are produced in the world.
