AVL has been working on fuel cell development for the last 20 years and is adapting the know-how from passenger cars in an intelligent way to heavy duty applicationsYour key take-aways.Passenger car applications have been the primary driver of requirements and development for the past ~20 years, but we are now seeing a shift to commercial applications. This brings new requirements, new players and new expectations for the development cycle. At AVL, our strategy to manage this shift is to : Capitalize on our proven automotive systems engineering capability, and on our fundamental fuel cell competence to optimize designs Stack and system expertise under one roof yields insights into tradeoffs that can optimize performance, cost, efficiency and lifetime Capitalize on our simulation expertise to accelerate the development cycle and increase the durability of our systems Time- and spatially-resolved performance and durability models (at both the stack and system level) are the crucial tool to apply learnings from 20 years of passenger car development and predict behavior in new applications and use cases.
