Exclusive insights at the IAA Transportation 2024: European premiere of the cellcentric NextGen fuel cell system

Esslingen/Hanover - European premiere at the IAA Transportation: cellcentric is presenting a virtual 3D model of its future NextGen fuel cell system for heavy goods vehicles for the first time at the leading international trade fair in Hanover (17 to 22 September/press day 16 September, hall 24, stand no. C11). The study provides an outlook on the dimensions and design of the pioneering new generation of fuel cell systems. At the same time, cellcentric announces performance data for the efficient single-packaging fuel cell system, which will offer market-leading TCO (Total Cost of Ownership).

Highly efficient large-scale production is about to start

The virtual 3D model signals the launch of the highly efficient and competitive NextGen single-packaging fuel cell system for heavy-duty long-distance transport, which will offer market-leading TCO. Following the development phase and prototype production of fuel cell systems, cellcentric is now in the preliminary stage of highly efficient industrial production, preparing for large-scale production in the recently inaugurated factory in Esslingen. The pilot production in Esslingen also marks the next step towards the largest fuel cell production in Europe at the new cellcentric site ‘KLIMA|WERK’ in Weilheim, which is planned for the end of the decade.
