Brief description
The core of the project is the efficient utilisation of the limited installation space available in electric cargo bikes for a fuel cell powertrain. To this end, extruded semi-finished products and die-cast components are to be used not only as the chassisās load-bearing structure, but also simultaneously as pressure reservoirs. Through functional integration, and whilst maintaining a comparable power density to conventional vehicle designs, there is significant potential for cost savings through improved material utilisation in terms of material and manufacturing costs, as well as a reduction in weight and raw material usage compared to a conventional Hā tank package. Ultimately, the use of a fuel cell powertrain in the vehicles described can significantly increase both the range and the maximum payload, thereby making them suitable for use by a broad section of the population. Furthermore, this development offers enormous potential as a stationary power-to-gas (PtG) buffer storage system for residential and industrial buildings.
