Donaldson Partners with Daimler Truck North America for Freightliner’s SuperTruck III Project
Donaldson Company (NYSE: DCI) announced a partnership with Daimler Truck North America (DTNA) for their hydrogen fuel cell project. Donaldson's advanced air filter technology will be featured in the next-generation Freightliner SuperTruck III, part of the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) initiative to enhance fuel efficiency and reduce emissions in heavy-duty Class 8 long-haul trucks.
The SuperTruck program, which began in 2011, has evolved from optimizing diesel engines in its first two phases to now developing a hydrogen fuel cell truck demonstrator. DTNA has received $26 million in DOE funding for this project. The partnership builds on Donaldson and DTNA's existing collaboration on filtration solutions for commercial vehicles, with the field experience expected to accelerate the adoption of on-highway hydrogen fuel cell applications.

La tecnologia avanzata dei filtri dell'aria di Donaldson sarà protagonista nel prossimo Freightliner SuperTruck III, parte dell'iniziativa del Dipartimento dell'Energia degli Stati Uniti (DOE) per migliorare l'efficienza energetica e ridurre le emissioni nei camion pesanti di Classe 8 per lunghe percorrenze.
Il programma SuperTruck, iniziato nel 2011, è evoluto dall'ottimizzazione dei motori diesel nelle sue prime due fasi, fino a sviluppare ora un dimostratore di camion con celle a combustibile a idrogeno. DTNA ha ricevuto 26 milioni di dollari di finanziamenti dal DOE per questo progetto. La partnership si basa sulla collaborazione esistente tra Donaldson e DTNA sulle soluzioni di filtrazione per veicoli commerciali, con l'esperienza sul campo che si prevede acceleri l'adozione delle applicazioni delle celle a combustibile a idrogeno sulle strade.
