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

Esslingen/Hannover (Germany) – European premiere at IAA Transportation: cellcentric presents a virtual 3D model of its future NextGen fuel cell system for heavy- duty transport for the first time at the leading international trade fair in Hanover (September 17 to 22/press day September 16, Hall 24, Booth No. C11). The study provides a preview of the dimensions and design of the game-changing 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.

Highly efficient large-scale production about to start

The virtual 3D model signals the start of cellcentric’s NextGen, the highly efficient and competitive single-packaging fuel cell system designed for long-haul heavy-duty transportation, which will offer market-leading TCO. Following the development phase and prototype production of fuel cell systems, cellcentric is now initiating the preliminary stage of highly efficient industrial production by taking first steps and preparing for high-scale production in the recently inaugurated factory in Esslingen. Also, the pilot production at cellcentric’s Esslingen site marks the step towards preparing Europe’s largest fuel cell production in a new factory in Weilheim – the KLIMA|WERK – that is planned towards the end of the decade.
