PEMTASTIC is looking forward to exchange with 8 other EU projects adressing PEMFC for heavy duty applications in frame of the workshop organized by MORELife. It takes place on 09.11.2023 in Eindhoven. Several PEMTASTIC consortium members will be represented and first results from the project will be shown.

In PEMTASTIC fuel cell cell testing protocols for heavy-duty applications have been defined. A public report is available and will be uploaded on the project website soon. The protocols and the defined HD load profile enable performance and durability investigation of MEA using representative conditions for long-haul applications. The conditions are defined for PEMFC stacks

In this work, power requirements in Long-haul HDV were derived from several representative driving cycles obtained from different sources (VECTO and DriveCAT). For this purpose, a Python software tool was developed. Using the power required in the electric motor to fulfil the cycle, different PEMFCS operation and different hybridization strategies between PEMFC and ESS were

Durability is a major challenge for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) for heavy-duty (HD) applications. To meet this particular challenge for truck applications the CleanH2 project PEMTASTIC (Grant 101101433) will develop a new membrane-electrode-assembly (MEA) based on a model-based design using innovative materials targeting high operation temperatures (105°C). On 07.-08.02.2023 the consortium partners met
