Tata Motors would soon be running hydrogen powered buses on Jamshedpur roads. These buses will be powered by hydrogen engine (hydrogen internal combustion engine, H2-ICE) produced at Tata Cummins Jamshedpur facility. The first Tata Cummins B6.7H hydrogen engine was rolled off the production line in March 2024. The engine is designed to be used in medium and heavy commercial vehicles.
