Schaeffler’s Hydrogen-Mobility Revolution

Product

Discover a new generation of metallic bipolar plates with a power density around 20 per cent greater than the previous. 

Schaeffler joined forces with Symbio last year in a new venture into the field of hydrogen-powered mobility. This year they are bringing newly designed bipolar plates optimised for large-series production, leveraged with an advanced coating process for long fuel cell life. 

Matthias Zink, CEO of Automotive Technologies at Schaeffler AG announces that “When it comes to drive systems for commercial vehicles, Schaeffler is also investing in hydrogen, especially for long-haul applications. We are developing both individual components and complete subsystems for fuel cells and are gearing up for their full-scale industrialisation.” 

Head of E-Mobility, Dr. Jochen Schroder draws further insight to the new plate design explaining that “Schaeffler has developed an innovative design that makes optimal use of the plate’s surface area” for maximum efficiency.
