An engineering team in Burnaby, British Columbia, is at the forefront of fuel cell research, particularly in utilizing hydrogen to power heavy-duty longhaul trucks. This team is working on the development of the NextGen fuel cell system, focusing on improving fuel cell technology and exploring trucking applications that contribute to reducing total cost of ownership, enhancing efficiency, and simplifying manufacturing processes. The system boasts a continuous net output of more than 350 kW, equivalent to over 500 horsepower, while being lightweight and designed for easy integration into existing vehicle platforms. Compared to the company's previous generation fuel cell, the NextGen system reduces fuel consumption by 20% and offers increased power density, while cutting complexity by 40%. Moreover, the system is expected to enhance system efficiency through various technological advancements. Cellcentric is also engaged in testing the NextGen system in challenging environments and collaborating with key shareholders like Daimler Truck AG and Volvo Group for further development and integration into prototype trucks. These collaborative efforts have included high-altitude and winter testing to ensure the system's reliability and performance under extreme conditions.
