Nuvera Fuel Cells, a specialist from the USA, and Viritech from the UK have announced a collaboration to advance fuel cell technology for commercial vehicles. The partnership will involve integrating Nuvera's fuel cell engines with Viritech's VPT60N powertrain. This integration will allow for testing of Nuvera's new fuel cell engines with Viritech's powertrain product line. Additionally, there are plans to develop an integrated high-power density fuel cell system using Nuvera's stack technology, with the potential to achieve up to 8 kW/L. The goal of this collaboration is to address the lack of integrated solutions in the fuel cell industry, making it easier for customers to adopt fuel cell technology for their projects. Both companies are aligned in their mission to reduce timelines and lead times for fuel cell solutions. Viritech's VPT60N powertrain, which incorporates various technologies, offers a modular design that can be tailored for different power outputs and energy management needs in applications including aerospace, automotive, and motorsport. The collaboration seeks to accelerate the development of fuel cell electric vehicles and drive efficiency in the industry. Viritech has already demonstrated the integration of Nuvera's E-60 engine in a hydrogen fuel cell-powered race car, showcasing the practical application of the partnership. This successful testing at the MIRA proving ground paves the way for the vehicle to be showcased at the LCV Cenex show in Millbrook, UK. The collaboration between Nuvera Fuel Cells and Viritech highlights the potential for advancements in fuel cell technology and the future of clean energy in commercial vehicles.
