// Fuel Cell Powertrains

As part of the rapidly incre­asing decar­bo­niza­ti­on of drive tech­no­lo­gy, the fuel cell as an emis­si­on-free ener­gy conver­ter is an inte­gral part of APL’s service port­fo­lio. The further expan­si­on of the hydro­gen and fuel cell test field up to 300 kW is running at full speed. The first expan­si­on phase with 6 short stack test benches is alre­a­dy firm­ly in custo­mer hands. In the further cour­se of the year, 4 system test benches up to 300 kW and a free­ly scalable trai­ler-based hydro­gen supp­ly desi­gned for 24/7 conti­nuous opera­ti­on will follow. On behalf of our custo­mers from the auto­mo­ti­ve and avia­ti­on indus­tries, we are inves­ti­ga­ting key issues rela­ting to the opera­ting beha­vi­or and service life as well as opti­miza­ti­on and cost reduc­tion poten­ti­al of fuel cells.
