Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies has unveiled the VLS-IV fuel cell, which boasts high power output, fault tolerance, and a long lifespan at a low cost. This new product is deemed groundbreaking by the company and is expected to reduce hydrogen consumption in heavy-duty fuel cell trucks by up to 20%. The VLS-IV utilizes Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies' patented graphite-metal hybrid bipolar plate technology, bringing significant enhancements over its predecessor, the VLS-III series. Improved manufacturing processes, such as high-precision moulding techniques for the graphite layer and a PVD carbon coat on the metal layer, have led to increased product consistency and reduced production costs. The hybrid bipolar plates, assembled using the company's sealing technology, offer improved conductivity and reliability. With a remarkable 400 kW output, the VLS-IV fuel cell is set to enable new hydrogen applications requiring high power. Additionally, Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies plans to utilize the VLS-IV in its zero-carbon MW power plant for clean energy generation. To showcase the VLS-IV and attract initial customers, the company presented it at the Fuel Cell Technology Expo in Foshan, China. This event, recognized as the country's largest hydrogen and fuel cell gathering, provided a platform for Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies to highlight the capabilities of their innovative fuel cell technology.
