Decades of fuel cell expertise combined in one joint venture
We established cellcentric in 2021, but our technological journey spans more than three decades. By combining the pioneering research of our parent companies, we accelerate the transition to climate-neutral heavy-duty transport.
Constant development leads to major improvement over the years
NECAR 1
In 1994 the NECAR 1 (New Electric Car) concept car, based on an MB100, was the world's first zero-emission, road-legal vehicle powered by a PEM (Polymer-Elektrolyt-Membran) fuel cell.
cellcentric is founded
Daimler Truck AG and Volvo Group AB merge their fuel cell expertise into one 50:50 joint venture on 1 March 2021.
BZA150 enters series development
Our current-generation system reaches up to 143 kW and an expected service life of 25,000 hours, matching the operational lifecycles of commercial fleets.
BZA375 sets a new benchmark
Our next-generation system delivers up to 375 kW of continuous net power, 20% lower fuel consumption and 40% less complexity than its predecessor.

Full technical specifications, dimensions, TCO data and FAQ for our next-generation heavy-duty fuel cell system.
Built for heavy-duty
Designed for long-haul trucks, and well-suited for coaches, stationary power generation, rail and mining. One product, multiple applications.
The infrastructure behind it
Efficient fuel cell systems need a functioning hydrogen ecosystem to reach their full potential. See how cellcentric contributes to building it.
