Complete Fuel Cell Systems for Carbon-Neutral, Heavy-Duty Applications
Fuel cell technology from Freudenberg Fuel Cell e-Power Systems offers a breakthrough in clean, reliable alternate powertrain options for the transportation and other essential industries. Passenger ferries, yachts, container ships, trucks and passenger buses will all go farther, work harder and generate fewer CO2 emissions in a future that runs on fuel cell energy. When extreme power, long-term reliability, optimal total cost of ownership and sustainability are paramount, Freudenberg offers unparalleled quality solutions to keep your products moving.
Reinforced by more than 30 years of fuel cell research and development, Freudenberg’s offers technologically superior fuel cell solutions harness the company’s world-class materials, testing and engineering capabilities. The company provides heavy-duty application manufacturers with a single point of contact for all of their fuel cell needs, from functional components to complete fuel cell systems. This includes all necessary subsystems (balance-of-plant) and services such as telematics, remote monitoring, field service and cost-optimized refurbishment of stacks. Freudenberg's expertise not only covers low-temperature PEM fuel cells (LTPEM), which are commonly used in transportation, but also high-temperature PEM fuel cells (HTPEM).
Fuel Flexibility as Unique Selling Point
Every customer has unique system requirements and Freudenberg Fuel Cell e-Power Systems are manufactured to optimize system flexibility. Fuel flexibility for maritime customers, in particular, is a unique company strength. For ships with long range requirements, Freudenberg offers both classic direct hydrogen systems and systems with integrated fuel reformers. The integrated reformers enable ships to use carbon-neutral fuels with higher energy density, such as e-methanol. With this proprietary technology, Freudenberg offers its maritime customers years of reliable, carbon-neutral ocean travel that is sustained by the superior service life and flexibility of its fuel cell systems.
The Freudenberg fuel cell portfolio also offers another impressive technological solution to customers: A hybrid system that seamlessly combines the advantages of a battery and fuel cell in one power solution. These hybrid designs maximize fuel efficiency, performance and service life while lowering investment costs. Freudenberg is the only supplier on the market with the deep technological expertise required in both fuel cells and batteries systems and components to engineer and integrate these power sources into intelligent hybrid systems. It goes without saying that the company also develops an intelligent energy management solution for these systems, in accordance with ISO26262 standards.
Multiple Benefits for System Operators
Freudenberg offers the market unique in-house, value-added benefits in every hybrid solution it engineers. Whether starting with a separator and cell and finishing with a complete battery system or starting with gas diffusion layers, a membrane electrode assembly (MEA) and a stack and finishing with a fuel cell, Freudenberg systems can be modularly assembled with different performance levels depending upon the required performance profiles. For system operators, this means higher efficiency, better suitability for everyday use and cost advantages in terms of total cost of ownership.
Freudenberg Fuel Cell e-Power Systems offers complete electric power systems to customers that are environmentally friendly, provide maximum power and cost efficiency, are reliable "long-distance runners" and combine low weight and flexible installation designs. As a single source supplier of all fuel cell requirements, Freudenberg Fuel Cell e-Power Systems is ready to partner with you to power up your future success.
