Fuel Cell Based Power Generation (FCGEN)

Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: May 31, 2015,

For truck applications the increasing demand for electrical power when the vehicle stands still has lead to an increasing need for an on-board electric power generator which operates with high efficiency and very low emissions. A fuel cell based auxiliary power unit (APU), with a diesel fuel processor is regarded as one of the most interesting options since it combines high efficiency, low emissio ...
