Bosch will launch a hydrogen combustion engine for trucks in 2024

German company Bosch has announced plans to launch the first hydrogen combustion engine for trucks in 2024 to complement its existing fuel cell and battery electric products. Hydrogen engines are less efficient than fuel cells, and cars using hydrogen engines require more hydrogen to travel the same distance. But hydrogen-powered internal combustion engines are cheaper and easier to maintain than fuel cells, which are more prone to fouling with dirt and dust, and require very high-purity hydrogen to operate, proponents say. Bosch says on its website that hydrogen combustion engines represent another option for future powertrains. Especially under challenging environmental conditions, hydrogen internal combustion engines are characterized by robust performance. In other words, hydrogen combustion engines may be more suitable for off-road heavy vehicles, and Bosch's website shows that excavators and agricultural tractors in the construction industry may be the solution for this technology. Analyst Jamie Fox believes that off-road vehicles such as tractors and mine vehicles may be better suited to using hydrogen combustion engines than trucks. Editor/Xu Shengpeng

CREC small diameter hard rock excavation machine Longrun is offline

On August 8, 2023, the world water diversion project's minimum diameter single shield TBM "Longrun" (CREC 1325), jointly developed by CREC Tunnel Bureau and CREC Equipment, was successfully launched in Deyang, Sichuan.

The Guangzhou-Macao Port Area Railway Line 1 has a total length of 17.116 kilometers, including a tunnel, two bridges and other construction content. The Shantou Bay Tunnel is a key and difficult control project of the project, with a total length of 9965 meters, of which the shield section is 2990 meters long. The segment has an outer diameter of 12.9 meters and an inner diameter of 11.8 meters. The excavation diameter of the cutter head of the Tunnel Tunneling Machine on the Gudao Island is 13.42 meters, the total length of the shield machine is 126 meters, the weight of the whole machine is about 3,300 tons, and the total installed power is 9,300 kilowatts. The shield cutter head has the functions of normal pressure tool change, hob exchange, hob wear detection, speed detection, and temperature detection. In order to deal with the problem of low construction efficiency in hard rock formations, the distance between cutterheads and cutters of the shield machine has been further reduced, and pressure hobs have been added to help improve rock breaking efficiency. The cutter head is equipped with a total of 185 cutters, of which 89 can be replaced under normal pressure, realizing full coverage of the cutter head's excavation trajectory. Editor / Zhao E
