KGM Mobility will source core hydrogen engine technology from PHINIA to deliver a 2-litre, diesel-based hydrogen internal combustion engine (ICE).
The South Korean automobile manufacturer (formerly SsangYong) stated that the vehicle would comply with NOx emission regulations and deliver a driving range of over 500 km with its engine. As a result, it will be marketed for both industrial and automotive applications.
Under the partnership, PHINIA will supply hydrogen and diesel engine components, including engine management systems (EMS), injectors, and pumps. Meanwhile, KGM will contribute its in-house engine technology and integrate it with PHINIA’s fuel injection systems and ECU technology.
The two companies will implement the project as part of the South Korean Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Energy (MOTIE) initiative to reduce domestic greenhouse gas emissions.
