Johnson Matthey Part of New European Consortium to Develop Advanced Fuel Cell Technology for Heavy Duty Trucks
April 15, 2021 | 4 min read April 15, 2021 | 4 min read- European supported project “IMMORTAL” launched to develop advanced fuel cell technology for heavy duty trucks with the goal of decarbonising freight transport.
- IMMORTAL is a €3.8 million, three year project supported by the European Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking (FCH 2 JU), which brings together a major consortium of industry leaders and academic/research organisations coordinated by France’s CNRS, and includes Johnson Matthey, Bosch, FPT Industrial and AVL.
- IMMORTAL will develop new materials for world leading fuel cell components specific to heavy-duty truck applications that deliver tailored performance and a step change in long term durability, marking a major milestone in the adoption of fuel cell technology for heavy duty trucks.
LONDON–(JM), a global leader in sustainable technologies, has joined a major new European consortium developing higher performance fuel cell components for heavy duty trucks with a predicted lifetime of at least 30,000 hours lifespan.
