Johnson Matthey Launches Hydrogen Engine Testing in Gothenburg
- The Gothenburg facility will be operational by autumn 2025.
- The facility will test hydrogen internal combustion engines up to 600kw.
- Project Brunel, a collaboration with Cummins, PHINIA, and Zircotec, concluded in March 2025.
- Johnson Matthey joined the Global Hydrogen Mobility Alliance to promote hydrogen solutions.
Facility Expansion
Johnson Matthey is enhancing its Gothenburg site to include hydrogen internal combustion engine (H2ICE) testing capabilities. This expansion builds on existing diesel engine test cells and will be operational by autumn 2025.
Testing Capabilities
The facility will test catalysts within engine aftertreatment and control systems, providing insights into hydrogen mobility solutions. It will support H2ICE engines up to 600kw and include a hydrogen supply and storage area, control systems, and safety features.
Project Brunel
This development follows the conclusion of Project Brunel, a collaboration with Cummins, PHINIA, and Zircotec, which ended in March 2025. The project delivered significant improvements in H2ICE engine performance and durability.
Industry Collaboration
Johnson Matthey is a founding member of the Global Hydrogen Mobility Alliance, a coalition of over 30 companies, including BMW, Toyota, and Air Liquide, aiming to accelerate hydrogen fuel cell solutions in Europe's transport sector.
