Ballard and Eaton’s Vehicle Group partner on fuel cell technology for trucks

Ballard Fuel Cell Systems and the Eaton’s Vehicle Group power management company have partnered together with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) from the Department of Energy (DoE) for the development of new fuel cell technology. The partnership will focus on developing hydrogen tech to be used in heavy-duty truck applications. This partnership is the outcome of a US Department of Energy grant awarded to the Eaton’s Vehicle Group to develop hydrogen fuel cell technology that can power heavy-duty machinery. The new tech will be focused on improving fuel efficiency through the use of Eaton’s Twin Vortices Series (TVS) tech.
