When the competition is 150+-year-old internal combustion engine technology, rapid learning cycles are a critical success tool for fuel cell powertrains. Building confidence in these accelerated durability tests will enable a faster development process and more productive learning cycles. Europe and Asia-Pacific are seeing faster growth.

The Zero-V uses one propulsion motor to power each of its two propellers. Based on the resistance and powering calculations, the team determined that 500 kW motors provide sufficient power for the various mission requirements and also have enough reserve power for safe operation in heavy seas and for dynamic positioning.

Electrical architecture: DC power from the fuel cells converted to AC power for the motors. Either one or two motors per shaft. Vehicle manufacturers have successfully brought fuel cell electric vehicles to market even though those cars are more expensive than comparable internal combustion engine vehicles. Optimization.
