Canadian fuel cell specialist Ballard Power Systems has successfully tested a fuel cell powered by liquid hydrogen in collaboration with US-based Chart Industries.
For the test, they paired a Ballard FCmove-HD fuel cell with a liquid onboard hydrogen vehicle fuel system by Chart.
According to the companies, the demonstration confirms that heavy-duty vehicles with Ballard fuel cells will be able to use Chart liquid hydrogen systems in the future.
The companies did not provide more specific data on the systems used for the test at Chart’s hydrogen test facility in Minnesota. Ballard’s FCmove-HD model is used in fuel cell buses, among other applications.
Similar statements had been made in the past by Daimler Truck and the Volvo Group, which are known to jointly develop fuel cells for trucks and…
