Hyzon Accelerates Production of 200kW Hydrogen Fuel Cell System in Illinois
Key Ideas
  • Hyzon has initiated the production of its 200kW hydrogen fuel cell system at its Bolingbrook facility, offering a more cost-effective and efficient solution for heavy-duty hydrogen-powered vehicles.
  • The single-stack system is lighter and smaller than the traditional dual 110kW systems, reducing volume, weight, and manufacturing costs by 30% compared to the previous setup.
  • The company's Chief Operating Officer stated that the successful start of production validates their capability to produce 700 fuel cell systems annually, with a focus on high-performance zero-emission solutions.
  • Hyzon's advancements in production come after achieving ISO 9001 quality management system audit approval and regaining compliance with Nasdaq listing rules through a reverse stock split.
Hyzon has recently announced the commencement of production for its single-stack 200kW hydrogen fuel cell system at its Bolingbrook facility in Illinois. This development is seen as a significant milestone as the new system is designed to be lighter, smaller, and more cost-effective than the dual 110kW systems traditionally used in heavy-duty hydrogen-powered vehicles. By moving from the prototype phase to full-scale manufacturing, Hyzon aims to produce 700 fuel cell systems per year over three shifts. The company's initiative to produce its membrane electrode assembly (MEA) in-house underscores its commitment to cutting-edge technology for zero-emission solutions. With the recent ISO 9001 quality management system audit approval, Hyzon is on track to obtain formal certification for its fuel cell manufacturing and R&D operations by Q4 2024. The successful production start follows Hyzon's recent launch of the Class 8 200kW hydrogen fuel cell truck, further solidifying its position in the zero-emission technology sector. The single-stack system offers significant advantages, including a 30% reduction in volume, weight, and manufacturing costs compared to the previous setup. Hyzon's CEO highlighted the company's Bolingbrook facility as a key player in fuel cell systems production in the US. Furthermore, the company's compliance with Nasdaq listing rules, achieved through a reverse stock split, reflects its strategic moves to maintain stability and visibility in the market. Overall, Hyzon's progress in hydrogen fuel cell technology manufacturing signifies a positive step towards sustainable and efficient transportation solutions.
