Fuel cell city buses
City buses as well as intercity buses can be equipped with a fuel cell powertrain.
Based on our fuel cell stacks, VINUITY offers fuel cell modules with a wide range of power output (from 5 to 250 kW). These modules integrate all required BoP components (including DCDC converters and air compressors) that are necessary to operate a fuel cell system. In addition to that, only air supply, hydrogen supply and heat exchanger for waste heat dissipation is needed. These modules can be used individually or modularly, covering a wide range of power outputs and, thus, a broad field of applications.
We guarantee continuous development of our fuel cell modules.
Do you have specific customization requests? Gladly, these are always possible. You are welcome to contact us, we will provide the right solution!

* Customization to specific requirements is possible.
** All systems are delivered with an air compressor and DCDC. If these components are listed as non-integrated, they will be supplied separately from the module (outside of the specified space). If these components are listed as non-integrated, they are supplied separately to the module (outside the specified installation space).
City buses as well as intercity buses can be equipped with a fuel cell powertrain.
Trucks for medium and long distances are particularly well suited for the use of fuel cell systems to achieve emission targets in the transport sector due to their requirement profile.
Emergency power supply for data centers is an increasing challenge, especially in urban areas, due to increasingly stringent regulations regarding gaseous, particle and noise emissions.
