DEUTZ TCG 7.8 H2 – Hydrogen engine
Technology of tomorrow
in production today
As demand for sustainable drive solutions grows, attention is increasingly turning to hydrogen as an alternative fuel. As a result, the hydrogen engine has an important role to play in decarbonizing the off-highway segment.

Runs like a Diesel. Only without the diesel.
The TCG 7.8 H2 is based on the DEUTZ diesel engines that have proven themselves millions of times over - except that it burns hydrogen. The six-cylinder engine delivers maximum dynamice capability an can effortlessly handle a wide range of load profiles. Unlike the fuel cell, it is - like all DEUTZ engines - resistant to extreme temperaturs, vibrations, solar radiation, and dust. and the good news is that this innovative drive solution is already in series production.
