Development of a fuel cell drivetrain for truck applications
The aim of the joint project is to develop a fuel cell system for commercial vehicle applications. In this context, an innovative and modular laboratory fuel cell system will be analyzed and the critical components with respect to the commercial vehicle requirements will be identified and the system performance will be raised according to the specific requirements. For this purpose, a more powerful stack will be integrated and the system and component design will be adapted to the requirements. The critical components are to be optimized or further developed in this project with regard to service life, efficiency, robustness and costs. Simultaneous operation of several fuel cell systems is also to be realized in order to map the necessary system performance. An optimization of the operation strategy as well as the extension of the software functions shall ensure the operation of the heavy duty fuel cell system in the commercial vehicle application.
