Trump's 25% Tariffs Would Hit These EVs The Hardestis one of the few brands still investing in hydrogen internal combustion engine (ICE) technology, and it says it remains a firm part of its 'multi-pathway' solution to automotive decarbonisation. or signup to continue reading The Japanese carmaker has been developing hydrogen ICE technology alongside hydrogen fuel-cell (FCEV) technology for a while now. The former incorporates a traditional combustion engine that makes sounds, unlike FCEVs which are silent like a battery-electric vehicle (EV). To date, Toyota has been trialing the powertrain technology through motorsport, though it has also shown off a few road-going prototypes. However, at this stage there have been no production models offered to the public with a hydrogen combustion powertrain. Asked whether Toyota is still pursuing hydrogen combustion engine tech, Toyota Australia vice president of sales, marketing and franchise operations Sean Hanley told it will become more relevant as a mainstream powertrain technology later next decade. "[Hydrogen combustion technology is] very much alive and well... we're still developing and trialling," said Mr Hanley. "All I'll say in relation to hydrogen ICE engines is that it's a technology that will continue to develop over the next five years. It's not a quick technology. "It's not a technology that we'd be suggesting will be mainstream even in this decade. "But hydrogen itself, particularly ICE conversions, [as well as] fuel-cell electric hydrogen vehicles, that 2035 to 2040 is huge, and I think that's where you can expect to see a lot more talk. "I wish I was around for that long to see it, because it's going to be an exciting time, not only for Toyota, but the industry. "Toyota is definitely very much still investing in hydrogen." In addition to motorsport-oriented hydrogen combustion vehicles like its , Toyota chose Australia to be the central point for development of the that it revealed last year. A pilot program saw seven examples of the Hydrogen HiAce prototype loaned out for a month at a time to fleet operators for transportation. They were required to report back daily on their experience. Unlike the regular sold in Australia, which is currently powered exclusively by a 2.8-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel, this hydrogen prototype is powered by a 3.4-litre twin-turbo V6 modified to run on hydrogen instead of petrol. This engine currently burns petrol in the , as well as the in other markets. Toyota says one of the few modifications made to the engine are the fuel-injectors, which are upgraded to run on compressed hydrogen gas. The hydrogen-fuelled V6 in the HiAce prototype produces 120kW of power and 354Nm of torque, which is 185kW and 296Nm less than its petrol-powered counterpart. While Toyota continues to develop hydrogen combustion engines, brands like BMW and Mazda have previously also investigated the technology, which like FCEVs are dependent on a widespread hydrogen refuelling network.

FAISALABAD, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 15th Dec, 2024) The Government College University ( ) has approved 10 scholarships for Palestinian students for the academic session 2025-2026 by taking a significant step towards fostering and solidarity. A spokesman said here on that this initiative aimed at to provide opportunities for higher and skill development to Palestinian students. The scholarships approved were for science and disciplines, he said, adding that Palestinian students would be offered short courses in engineering and allied health sciences. In this connection, advisor linkage COMSTECH Murtaza Noor met with the Vice Chancellor in his office. Speaking on this occasion, Vice Chancellor Prof Dr Rauf-IAzam said that this was not just a scholarship program but a gesture of solidarity with the people of as was a powerful tool to uplift communities in distress. GCUF Vice Chancellor said that the scholarship package included fee waivers, free hostel accommodation and monthly stipends. The female students would receive a monthly stipend of Rs.10,000/- while students would be granted Rs.25,000/- per month. This initiative was designed to ensure that financial barriers did not hinder deserving students pursuing their academic goals, he added. Coordinator General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation standing committee on Scientific and Technological Cooperation (COMSTECH) Prof. Dr. Muhammad Iqbal Chaudhry thanked Vice Chancellor Dr Rauf-I-Azam for this Nobel cause. Dr Iqbal Chaudhry said that generous support would help displaced scholars and scientists to pursue their research studies at .
