Post pandemic, BAE Systems increasing its efforts to add more transit bus customers to its client portfolio but also new customers in truck, marine and military. Tom Webb, Director Business Development at BAE Systems explains the company's approach to market.

The 1 MW stationary charging system converts hydrogen fuel into electricity, which can then be used to recharge a battery-electric (or other plug-in capable) vehicle.

BAE Systems will fit its new Gen3 electric power and propulsion system into three ElDorado Axess EVO-FC zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell (HFC) buses to operate in Rochester, New York.

Hyvia will use this hydrogen to test out vehicles based on the Renault ‘Master’ LCV platform, producing enough hydrogen to test up to 1,000 fuel cells per year.

While the majority of the hydrogen produced will be used in industry (including automotive), 10% has been earmarked as fuel for hydrogen vehicles, and Plug Power says it will also be installing a hydrogen fuel station at the site.

The companies will jointly build a 5GW catalyst-coated membranes (CCM) manufacturing facility in the USA in 2025.

The 407,000-sq-ft facility, referred to as the ‘Plug Vista’ facility, reportedly features advanced automation, allowing for greatly increased scale and efficiency in the assembly of fuel cell systems for applications such as trucks.

SK E&S plans to produce up to 30,000 tons of liquid hydrogen per year at a new facility in Incheon.

The two American firms announced a strategic partnership which would see Plug Power supplying Nikola with fuel and processing equipment to support Nikola’s hydrogen strategy.

Equipped with a 30-kW fuel cell, a 33-kWh battery and a tank containing 4.5 kg of hydrogen at 350 bar, the bus offers a 300 km range with up to 15 passengers, and a 5-minute refuelling time.

Once installed, the electrolysers will have a capacity of 20 tons of hydrogen per day, operating across multiple sites in Europe and supplying fuel to forklift trucks and light commercial vehicles.

The producer of fuel-cell systems and electrolysers relaunched its brand with a new logo and website on 19 April, with the intention of underscoring its commitment to energy efficiency and decarbonisation.
