EKPO Fuel Cell Technologies - NextGen HD Stack (DE37)

Development and industrialization of a cost-optimized PEM fuel cell stack module for heavy-duty applications.

EKPO Fuel Cell Technologies (EKPO) is a leading technology provider specializing in the development and large-scale production of fuel cell stacks for carbon-neutral mobility.

The main objective of the project is developing and industrializing a new generation of high-performance PEM fuel cell stack modules for heavy-duty applications. The high-performance stack modules are to be deployed primarily in the commercial vehicle sector, but also in buses and maritime applications, in the field of rail transportation, and in stationary systems.

The stack modules represent a new benchmark with regard to performance and efficiency and are targeted at the life cycle of heavy commercial vehicles. In order to commercialize the new stack modules, both processes and design have to be optimized in terms of costs and manufacturability. In addition, the plan is to significantly reduce the carbon footprint in production. Thus, the aim of the project includes successfully migrating fuel cell stacks to mass production with a stacking rate in the parts-per-second range, while meeting the highest quality standards.

To achieve these outlined targets, high degrees of innovation are required on all levels of product and production technology.
