Cellcentric has recently launched pilot production of fuel cell systems at its site in Esslingen-Pliensauvorstadt, Germany. The company aims to achieve mass production by the end of the decade. The NextGen fuel cell system, which is smaller, more powerful, and more efficient, has been introduced for long-distance hydrogen-powered trucks. This system has already undergone successful field trials with truck manufacturers Daimler Truck and Volvo Group. The Esslingen production site provides over 10,000 square meters of space for production, logistics, and office functions, positioning the company well for scaling up. Chief Commercial Officer Lars Johansson emphasizes the importance of industrial-scale production to achieve economies of scale and competitiveness. Cellcentric plans to offer maintenance and repair services to minimize downtime and focus on circular economy practices for fuel cell system sustainability. The company's future plans involve continued industrialization and scaling of production at the Weilheim site.
