Innovative and climate-friendly." date: 2023-12-06 modified: 2024-08-12 --- # DEUTZ Hydrogen Engine - Innovation for sustainable mobility : DEUTZ AG DEUTZ TCG 7.8 H2 – Hydrogen engine Technology of tomorrow in production today ============================================== ![](https://www.deutzge.sbs/fileadmin/_processed_/a/7/csm_deutz_production_hydrogen_engine_ae6254b8b1.jpg) 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. ![](https://www.deutzge.sbs/fileadmin/_processed_/f/7/csm_Hydrogen_Engine_d24251acb1.png) #### 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 dynamic capability and can effortlessly handle a wide range of load profiles. Unlike the fuel cell, it is - like all DEUTZ engines - resistant to extreme temperatures, vibrations, solar radiation, and dust. The good news is that this innovative drive solution is already in series production. We're sorry, this content is unavailable. Please accept the cookies to see this content.
