PEMFC technology has many traits that make it a potential alternative to diesel as a main propulsion. For example, it offers high efficiency, durability, low powertrain weight, zero emission, low NVH and ultimately has a comparable TCO with green hydrogen. On the other hand, SOFC technology is ideal as base load or even as a range extender for buses and light- or medium-duty vehicles. The advantage of SOFC lies in its potential to bridge a world where hydrogen is not widely available as a fuel, as well as its high operating efficiency. With decades of powertrain development and electrification experience – as well as broad fuel cell know-how – at AVL we can deliver customized technologies and services. These include: • Full cell engineering from lab prototype to pre-production samples of systems and stacks, a modelbased approach for quicker iteration cycles • Modular fuel cell systems and operating strategies with optimal durability and cost • Mechanical and electrical design and integration into defined packaging spaces • Cost engineering of every component to explore cost drivers and cost reduction possibilities, degradation modelling with state-of-the-art AVL proprietary code • Knowledge of latest systems through fuel cell benchmarking activities (eg Nexo and Mirai) • FMEA, Safety Concept, functional safety, requirements management, risk and hazard analysis, technology consulting, and much more Furthermore, our own fuel-cell testing infrastructure is here to help you with your design and validation activities. We can provide you with modular system test performance which meets the high-power demands from the commercial vehicle industry. Our extensive experience with the technology, its application, make it a realistic option for reduced/zero emission technology demands. With our know-how and global network of experts, we are the ideal partner to support all your needs.
