Fuel cell for the automotive industry 180 kW

To showcase the successful use of zero emission fuel cell hybrid buses in urban transportation, Hydrogenics led the integration of a fuel cell ultracapacitor hybrid power train into a 40’ urban transit bus. Designed for use in urban transit, this innovative power train for the Invero New Flyer low fl oor bus incorporates three Hydrogenics’ HyPM 65 fuel cell power modules capable of offering a total of 180 kW of power. Combining a bank of ultracapacitors with the fuel cell power modules in a hybrid confi guration enables the system to: Provide instantaneous power that can reach a peak power requirement of 350kW Reduce capital costs through the effi cient system design of the fuel cell and hybrid components Increase fuel effi ciency by capturing braking energy through regeneration
