At IAA 2024, cellcentric launched new fuel cell system for heavy-duty applications
With a total weight of less than 400 kg, this new system presented at IAA by cellcentric is designed for conventional 13-liter diesel engine compartments. The new single-packaging fuel-cell system will combine high efficiency and performance with market leading TCO.
cellcentric, the joint venture shared by Daimler Truck and Volvo Group, launched at IAA Transportation the latest version of their fuel cell moduel for heavy-duty applications, even though as a virtual model. The latter provides a preview of the dimensions and design of the game changing new generation of fuel-cell systems.

With a total weight of less than 400 kg, this new system presented at IAA by cellcentric is designed for conventional 13-liter diesel engine compartments. The new single-packaging fuel-cell system will combine high efficiency and performance with market leading TCO. In addition, the system is characterized by higher operating temperatures and lower cooling requirements.
The single system package ensures up to 375 kW continuous power, with 20% less fuel cell consumption. In addition, compared to benchmark fuel cell system BZA150, the system has got 40% more power density and 40% reduction of complexity.
Finally, in terms of production, the industrialized pilot production in Esslingen marks another step towards the arrival of Europe’s largest fuel cell production facility – the new KLIMA|WERK factory in Weilheim – which is planned to open towards the end of the decade.
