Ford Introducing H2 Combustion Engines to Industrial Marketplace
24 February 2005
Ford Power Products (FPP), a division of Ford Powertrain Operations, is introducing hydrogen-fueled internal combustion engines (H2ICEs) to the industrial marketplace.
This parallels Ford Motor Company’s introduction of the E-450 commercial hydrogen-powered shuttle bus. (Earlier post.)
FPP currently has two different hydrogen engines prototyped for the industrial marketplace: a 4.2-liter V-6 hydrogen engine for airline ground support equipment, and the 6.8-liter V-10 hydrogen engine (picture at right) for power generation applications. Each burns compressed gaseous hydrogen.
| Preliminary Ford H2ICE Engine Specs | ||
|---|---|---|
| V-6 | V-10 | |
| Displacement (liters) | 4.2 | 6.8 |
| Rated Power (kW/hp) | 60/80 | 140/188 |
| Minimum Fuel Pressure @ engine (psi) | 125 | 125 |
The E-450 is also based on the V-10 hydrogen-fueled engine.

how much H2 does this engine use for a period of time at 60MPH? Please respond, and if you cant answer this ques. please give me information on the amount of H2 required to perform internal combustion.
Thanks,
