This paper focuses on the potential application of hydrogen fueled internal combustion engine (HICE) in the off-road market, examining HICE based on a diesel engine. In the transition to HICE, priority was given to compatibility with existing systems, minimizing changes from the base engine. By adopting a PFI (Port Fuel Injection) method for fuel injection, low-pressure hydrogen supply was achieved. To address the issue of backfire associated with PFI, optimization of injection pressure using a variable pressure control valve, along with adjustments to valve timing and injection timing, was implemented to suppress backflow of residual gases into the intake system and minimize hydrogen retention. Regarding pre-ignition, in addition to suppressing hotspots, the relationship between the homogenization of the air-fuel mixture and NOx emissions was examined, revealing a correlation. This engine was mounted on a generator, and efforts were made to improve the important characteristic of

Noise pollution from automotive vehicles is a significant concern in urban areas, emphasizing the need for improved vehicle engineering of automotive vehicles to reduce noise levels. The necessity for automotive vehicles to have a low acoustic signature may further be emphasized by local regulatory requirements, such as the EU's regulation 540/2014, which sets sound level limits for commercial vehicles at 82 dB(A). In addition to this the external noise may propagate inside the cabin affecting the overall wellbeing of the driver. To address the issue vehicles are observed to measure noise levels at various locations, including inside and outside the cabin. These testing facilitate noise source identification and categorization of noise into structure-borne noise and air-borne noise. The air-borne noise, which can be either broadband or tonal in nature, is particularly discomforting and may require mitigation. To analyse these complex aero-acoustic behaviour of the vehicle, CFD can be

High Performance Resistors (HPR), also known as brake resistors are used in zero emission vehicles (ZEVs) to dissipate excess electrical energy produced during regenerative braking, as heat energy. It is necessary to use a suitable cooling technique to release this heat energy into the atmosphere in a regulated manner. Currently in most of the ZEVs, liquid cooled HPR with its dedicated heat exchanger and other auxiliaries such as pump, surge tank, Coolant and coolant lines, is used which increases the cost, packaging space and assembly time. This paper presents air cooling as a substitute heat-exchanging technique for high-performance resistors which eliminates the need of auxiliaries mentioned above, resulting in space optimization and reduction in assembly time. An air cooled HPR, designed for this study consists of a heat exchanger, which accommodates a resistor wire within its tubes. The design was made to fit commercial vehicle use, specific to trucks, due to packaging constraints
