Mercedes-Benz Truck Liquid Hydrogen Refueling Technology Preview



Feb 7, 2024

Daimler Truck and Linde Engineering present sLH2, a jointly developed refueling technology for subcooled liquid hydrogen.

• Compared to gaseous hydrogen, subcooled liquid hydrogen (sLH2) allows for higher storage density, greater range, faster refueling, lower costs and superior energy efficiency.

• Daimler Truck and Linde Engineering aim to establish sLH2 as a common refueling standard for hydrogen-powered trucks and make the technology openly available to all interested parties via an ISO standard.

• The first public sLH2 fuel station was inaugurated in Wörth am Rhein, Germany, and will also be used by selected logistics customers for initial customer trials with the Mercedes-Benz GenH2 Truck from mid-2024.

• Andreas Gorbach, Member of the Board of Management of Daimler Truck AG, responsible for Truck Technology: “Zero-emission transport needs three factors: the right battery-electric and hydrogen-powered vehicles, the required infrastructure network and cost parity for ZEVs compared to diesel trucks. In terms of hydrogen infrastructure, we are reaching a major milestone today: With sLH2, hydrogen refueling becomes as convenient as today’s refueling with diesel. It takes about 10 to 15 minutes to fuel our Mercedes-Benz GenH2 Truck for a range of more than 1,000 kilometers.”

• Juergen Nowicki, Executive Vice President Linde plc and CEO of Linde Engineering: “Subcooled liquid hydrogen considerably increases the efficiency of hydrogen refueling systems. This and further advantages make sLH2 a practical, CO2-neutral alternative to diesel in the heavy-duty vehicle sector. The technology we have developed with Daimler Truck will help pave the way for the development of a robust refueling network, which is essential to keep vehicles moving and supply chains intact.”
