Cummins has developed a new turbocharger designed for hydrogen internal combustion engines (H\u2082 ICE), aimed at heavy-duty vehicles.

This model enables simulations of the hydrogen market under regulatory and technological scenarios. In most cases analyzed, H\u2082 production is projected to increase by 80% by 2050 compared to 2024, with steam methane reforming (SMR) remaining the primary production pathway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udd0e 1.
