Hyliion Successfully Completes Mission-Representative U.S. Navy Load Profile with KARNO™ Power Module
AUSTIN, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Hyliion Holdings Corp. (NYSE American: HYLN) (“Hyliion”), a developer of sustainable, electricity-producing technologies, today announced the successful completion of the first phase of extensive performance testing evaluating the KARNO™ technology on a representative U.S. Navy load profile. This marks a significant milestone in demonstrating the system’s load-following capability, reliability, and endurance as part of a development program funded by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) to advance the KARNO technology for deployment aboard U.S. Navy vessels and in stationary power applications.
The KARNO system operated successfully through a demanding, mission-representative Navy load profile, demonstrating the system’s ability to manage rapid load changes and sustain performance under high-stress, real-world conditions. Through exposure to these dynamic load transitions, Hyliion showcased that the integrated system performs reliably under varying thermal, control, and operating conditions, validating its resilience and readiness for the next phase of development.
In the next phase, Hyliion will conduct operations under simulated ship-motion conditions and complete several hundred additional run hours on dynamic load profiles before conducting at-sea demonstrations.
“This milestone is a testament to the performance, reliability, and innovation of our technology,” said Thomas Healy, Founder and CEO of Hyliion. “We’re proud to advance our collaboration with the U.S. Navy by offering solutions that directly support their mission for enhanced energy security and operational resilience.”
The KARNO Power Module’s quiet operation, fuel flexibility, and minimal maintenance make it ideally suited to meet the evolving power needs of the military. This milestone reinforces Hyliion’s mission to commercialize a revolutionary power generation technology—one designed to set a new standard in resilient, on-demand energy.
