GE Additives, a branch of General Electric agreed with Hyliion to transfer technology for a new hydrogen and fuel agnostic capable generator. The deal leverages GE Additive’s metal additive technologies including their Concept Laser and Arcam Electron Beam Melting technology with the support of the giant General Electric. This new truck engine will bring another example of 3D printing applications allowing greater competition in the electric vehicle market and practical non-emission engines.
“Hyliion produces electrified powertrain systems that can augment or fully replace traditional diesel- or natural gas-fueled powertrains. Its systems are designed to improve performance and lower total cost of ownership while leveraging the existing alternative fuel infrastructure.”
