Alternative powertrain solutions with hydrogen

At Bauma 2022, Liebherr premieres two prototypes of its hydrogen engine for tomorrow’s construction sites.

Liebherr’s H2 direct injection systems solution is designed for engines in the range of 6 - 16 litres displacement and 200 - 450 kW.

Promising tests show a feasible hydrogen direct injection concept for heavy-duty combustion engines now entering the next phase of development.

Technology-neutral drive concepts for the future help our customers design their machines in the best possible way.

Burning hydrogen directly in the engine is one of the fastest ways to power mobile off-highway vehicles in a CO2-neutral way.

Depending on the machine and application, technology neutrality to construction machines reduces the most emissions.

Liebherr R 9XX H2 excavator powered by the H966 hydrogen combustion engine won the 2022 Bauma Innovation award in the climate protection category.

Hydrogen: a carbon-free energy source, powering combustion engines and building a bridge to alternative fuels.
