In order to continue the flow of essential goods around the world, the future of HGV propulsion must move towards net zero technologies, able to offer the same reliability, endurance and demanding workloads as current diesel engines whilst ideally reducing cost.
Which is where Carnot Powertrains comes in. We offer unrivalled power density offering many of the same benefits in terms of reliability, endurance and refuelling convenience as offered by diesel power. Our powertrains can run completely net zero whilst offering flexibility in terms of fuel options. Hydrogen powered HGV powertrains are cited by many as the future of the industry and Carnot will be offering the powertrain of choice for all hydrogen applications.
When comparing the cost per tonne kilometre compared to alternative diesel and electrification options, a Carnot powertrain offers a cheaper solution even compared to diesel
The incredibly compact design also means less space is required to be allocated to the powertrain, a fundamental shortfall with battery and fuel cell concepts. This allows operators to increase, rather than drastically reduce, the total cargo capacity per vehicle.
