Hyzon Motors Inc., a supplier of zero-emission heavy-duty fuel cell electric vehicles, published Designing the Future of Fuel Cells, a white paper describing the company’s progress toward producing a single stack 200kW fuel cell system.
To meet heavy-duty transport’s power requirements, most OEMs have opted to combine two complete sets of 90-150kW fuel cell systems, according to the white paper. Hyzon’s in-house fuel cell system design and production, combined with a network of suppliers, Hyzon’s 200kW fuel cell system features a singlestack that generates enough electricity to meet these power requirements.
According to Hyzon, its single stack shows significant benefits compared to the traditional approach of combining two ~100kW fuel cell systems, including:
- 30% reduction in total volume
- 25% reduction in total fuel cell system manufacturing costs
- 30% reduction in total weight
- 20% increase in miles driven per kg of hydrogen
