Gasoline, Diesel and Hydrogen
The Internal Combustion Ecosystem is Fading, but also Evolving
Electrification dominates headlines, and combustion-based propulsion remains a critical pillar of the global powertrain mix. From next-generation gasoline engines and cleaner diesel to the emergence of hydrogen ICE, innovation continues around fuel delivery, tank systems, emissions management, and lightweight integration.
ITB has long been active in this space, having delivered consulting assignments, multi-client studies, and decades of dedicated conferences exploring the future of fuel systems and propulsion hardware from an engineering and innovation vantage point. We help clients understand the transition—not just to electrification, but also within combustion technologies themselves.
🔮 Shaping the Future of Combustion-Based Propulsion
⛽ Fuel Delivery System Complexity Emission constraints and packaging demands are reshaping fuel lines, vapor containment, and pump architectures. |
|
🔧 Lightweight, Modular Integration Tier 1s and OEM customers are rethinking existing modules and fuel tanks for compatibility across ICE, HEV, and hydrogen ICE platforms. |
|
|
🔥 Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engines Asian and several European OEMs are investing in H₂ ICE as a viable zero-carbon option. |
|
🌍 Regional Divergence in ICE Demand Diesel remains essential for CV and off-highway, while gasoline persists in the interim as a hybrid-friendly solution. |
