Tata Motors’ hydrogen engine programme builds on its 2022 Memorandum of Understanding with Cummins Inc. to jointly develop low- and zero-emission propulsion technologies for commercial vehicles in India. The collaboration covers hydrogen internal combustion engines, fuel cells, and battery-electric systems, with India expected to be one of the first markets to benefit from these solutions.
