Project launched: FCPP – Fuel Cell Performance Production<\/h2>\n
\n

With its partners W\u00e4taS, Laufenberg, FEV, Olbrich, and RWTH Aachen University, ZBT develops a fuel cell stack with high performance, robustness and marketable efficiency that can be produced at a lower cost than current products on the market.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The core challenges inhibiting the\u00a0market penetration of fuel cells<\/b>\u00a0are their limited service life and the high costs over the entire life cycle. Until now, these have been largely determined by manufacturing costs and are due to costly production technologies that have not been developed for mass production.<\/p>\n

The FCPP (Fuel Cell Performance Production) project aims to develop and produce a fuel cell stack with high performance, robustness and marketable efficiency\u00a0at a lower cost<\/b>\u00a0than current products on the market using cost-effective production technologies suitable for mass production. To this end, a cost-effective and resource-efficient inline coating process is being developed and validated.<\/p>\n

In parallel, ZBT together with W\u00e4taS is researching a particularly\u00a0robust stack design<\/b>\u00a0for high durability requirements with power ratings of > 120 kW for commercial vehicle applications. For this purpose, ZBT focuses on the following research topics:<\/p>\n
