AVL PUMA 2™ Fuel Cell enables our customers to easily manage the challenges of present and future demands, from research and development to the validation of fuel cell systems. Joined competences in fuel cell development between AVL HQ Graz and its Fuel Cell Technology R&D Center in Canada make this a unique combination.

Increasingly strict CO2 restrictions worldwide and the demand for green mobility pose a huge challenge to the automotive industry.

Electric vehicles powered by hydrogen must ensure a long driving range and short refilling times. The continuous optimization of durability and reliability of fuel cell systems are key.

A state-of-the-art test environment must be able to combine the real fuel cell system on the testbed with a virtual vehicle to simulate real driving scenarios already in an early development phase.
