Hydrogen powertrain technology is rapidly advancing, with Cellcentric, a joint venture of Daimler Truck and Volvo, at the forefront of innovation. The company is making significant progress towards mass production of hydrogen fuel cell systems that can compete with and even outperform diesel powertrains. The current BZA150 system, utilized in major European OEM pilot runs, boasts impressive specs such as a weight of 551 lb., 143 kW output, and 8 miles per kilogram hydrogen fuel efficiency. Cellcentric is now focusing on its NextGen system, which promises even greater power output and efficiency, with plans for large-scale production by 2030. This new system is expected to be 40% less complex, produce 375 kW continuous output, and offer 10.2 miles per kilogram hydrogen fuel consumption for heavy-duty trucking. To support this growth, Cellcentric is preparing for industrial production and has acquired land for Europe's largest fuel cell production factory. The company's strategic timeline aligns with the development of hydrogen infrastructure, showcasing a positive outlook for the future of hydrogen-powered long-haul trucking.
