Electriq Fuel is expected to be suitable for mobility applications for trucks, barges and mobile generators.

Electriq says it is is comprised of 60% water and achieves a greater range and lower cost than green energy solutions like lithium-ion batteries or compressed hydrogen.

The energy density potential of the technology is up to 15 times that of electric batteries currently in use in electric vehicles, the company adds.

Electriq is holding ‘commercialisation negotiations’ with Dutch companies and plans to launch demonstrations and prototyping projects in 2020.

    Vehicle emissions regulations for 2025 and 2030 are unlikely to be met by conventional vehicle technology as applied to most vehicles beyond small cars, according to IDTechX researchers. Going to strong hybrid and pure electric powertrains involves considerable expense and delay and often totally new platforms. However, an intermediate technology has reached a stage where it can incrementally improve traditional powertrains by replacing the alternator with a reversible 48 V electric machine and adding a
