Hyundai Doosan Infracore, Incheon, KOREA; Robert Bosch LLC, Farmington 
Hills, MI; Shell Global Solutions (US) Inc., Houston, TX; MAHLE GmbH, 
Stuttgart, GERMANY; ARAMCO Services Company, Houston, TX; MECA, 
Arlington, VA; and Caterpillar Inc., Irving, TX. The general area of 
H2ICE's planned activity is to build a Class 8 Near-Zero-Emissions 2 
demonstration vehicle powered by a hydrogen-fuel internal combustion 
engine. The primary objective of the project is to demonstrate a near-
term pathway toward elimination of greenhouse gas tailpipe emissions 
for heavy-duty applications where battery and fuel-cell technologies 
are not sufficiently mature for widescale adoption. In addition to 
near-zero CO2 tailpipe emissions, the vehicle will also demonstrate 
0.02 g/hp-hr NOX emissions utilizing current Low- 
NOX aftertreatment technology.
