MIT Grads Unveil the World’s First Ammonia-Powered Semi Truck
10th April 2023
Amogy, a startup founded by four MIT grads, has unveiled an ammonia-powered semi truck that can be refueled in just eight minutes — giving it a significant advantage over battery-powered alternatives.
It’s developed a system that “cracks” the ammonia compound into nitrogen and hydrogen. The hydrogen is then run through a fuel cell to generate electricity, just like it would in a typical hydrogen vehicle.
