BRUSA HyPower AG is developing a fuel cell interface for fuel cell applications on behalf of cellcentric GmbH & Co. KG

Kirchheim/Teck - BRUSA HyPower AG, part of the BRUSA Group (alongside BRUSA Elektronik AG and BRUSA Technology AG), is one of the leading manufacturers of power electronics systems for electric and hydrogen mobility solutions. These include DC/DC converters for use in fuel cell systems. With its many years of expertise and innovative strength, BRUSA HyPower AG is now taking on the development of a fuel cell interface (FCI) for cellcentric.

The Fuel Cell Interface (FCI) is a central component of the NextGen fuel cell system, which is scheduled to go into series production in various applications by the turn of the decade onwards. It converts the fuel cell voltage to the high-voltage grid, monitors the fuel cell, safely disconnects from the high-voltage grid if necessary, and supplies high-voltage components within the fuel cell system with electrical energy.

"With our new generation of high-performance DC/DC converters, we are contributing our many years of expertise in power electronics to significantly advance the further development of cellcentric's fuel cell technology. Together, we are shaping the future of climate-neutral mobility," says Dr. Holger Fink, CEO of BRUSA HyPower AG.

cellcentric's goal is to become a leading global manufacturer of fuel cell systems and thus make a significant contribution to sustainable and climate-neutral transportation. As a 50:50 joint venture between Daimler Truck and the Volvo Group, cellcentric is responsible for all activities along the entire fuel cell value chain for use in heavy-duty commercial vehicles and other applications.

By working with BRUSA HyPower, cellcentric is strengthening its global supply chain, including the Asian market, which is considered a driver of growth and innovation. BRUSA HyPower is a leading international manufacturer with locations in Europe, the USA, and Asia, making it an ideal strategic partner.

Markus Siegel, Global Head of Procurement and Aftersales at cellcentric, says: "We are delighted to have gained a partner with an international presence, decades of expertise, and a high level of innovation for this project."
