Liebherr’s Alternative Fuel Injection Platform Strategy: Innovations and Developments for Modern Powertrain Technologies
摘要
This paper explores the potential of an alternative fuel injection platform strategy focusing on hydrogen, methanol, ethanol, and liquid ammonia. The Liebherr approach offers a versatile platform solution to the diverse requirements in various sectors, including off-road vehicles, commercial and industrial machinery, gensets, and marine transportation. The flexibility to use different fuels with one platform approach could lead to significant advancements in the decarbonization of sectors that are traditionally challenging to electrify, such as heavy-duty transportation and industrial applications. Additionally, this approach covers different infrastructure and logistics requirements of the various industry segments. An overview on the status of development on the Liebherr fuel injection system for alternative fuels will be provided and accompanied by the latest test results. Furthermore, this paper outlines potential solutions for different market segments from flexible retrofit dual-fuel applications to mono-fuel applications.
