The AVL fuel cell truck – a technology demonstrator showing solutions for future heavy-duty applications

The challenges of heavy-duty fuel cell trucks, especially semi-tractors, include:
- cooling performance (no derating at 30°C ambient)
- packaging space (sleeper cabin and vehicle length restrictions lead to the integration of all systems into the chassis without having a rack behind the cabin)
- H2 fuel efficiency (predictive energy management and optimized energy flow to increase range and enhance the lifetime of fuel cell and battery system)
In this free webinar, René Steinek and Dr. Rolf Doebereiner present AVL’s fuel cell truck, which offers solutions to all these challenges and more.
Key topics and takeaways:
- Gain insight into AVL’s solutions for heavy-duty fuel cell trucks
- Understand durability challenges and how to balance them against vehicle performance and efficiency
- Explore how AVL managed to package all systems into a semi-trailer truck chassis
- Learn how AVL overcomes challenges in cooling performance and EE issues like isolation resistance
