Abstract In the global content regarding the impact on the environmental of the gases emissions resulted from the fossil fuels combustion, aspect discussed on the 2015 Paris Climate Conference, contribute to the necessity of searching of alternative energy from durable and renewable resources. The purpose of the paper is the use of hydrogen fuelling at truck diesel engine in order to improves engine efficiency and pollutant performance, hydrogen being injected into the inlet manifold. Experimental results show better energetic and pollution performance of the dual fuelled engine due to the improvement of the combustion process and reduction of carbon content.
