H2Rescue is a first-of-its-kind hydrogen fuel cell/battery hybrid vehicle and it’s an emergency truck like no other—a zero emission, self-propelled electric generator that may just be the future of disaster response. This project is a collaboration between the Science and Technology Directorate (S&T), the U.S. Department of Energy (DoE), Federal Emergency Management Agency, industry partner Accelera by Cummins Inc., and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. S&T Under Secretary Dr. Dimitri Kusnezov, DOE Deputy Secretary David Turk, S&T Community and Infrastructure Resilience Program Manager Ron Langhelm, and others joined the team behind the innovation in Washington, DC, to showcase H2Rescue—and we were there to get up close and personal with this impressive prototype.
