New project „CryoTRUCK“ has started


The project "CryoTRUCK" has started at the Chair of Carbon Composites (LCC). The goal is to accelerate the transition from fossil fuels to a decarbonized world. Using green, cryogenic compressed hydrogen (CcH2), the future energy and propulsion technology of the logistics industry is to be made more sustainable. The aim is to provide a CcH2 hydrogen storage system consisting of storage tank, supply and control periphery as well as the hydrogen refueling station. Various companies from the automotive industry such as MAN and CleanLogistics, Cryomotive GmbH as the developer of the CcH2 CRYOGAS technology, IABG with its testing expertise, and TUM with the chairs APT, UTG and LCC are participating in the research cooperation. Within the project, the Chair of Carbon Composites will contribute to the design and process development of the CFRP storage system. 

The project is funded by the National Innovation Program Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology Phase 2 (NIP II) of the German Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure.
