Mercedes-Benz to showcase pre-production version of coming GLC F-Cell fuel cell PHEV at IAA

Green Car Congress

The GLC F-CELL features a ~9 kWh lithium-ion battery pack combined with a new fuel cell stack. Too, the cost of the technology has been slashed due largely to a 90% reduction in the amount of platinum used in the stack. The fuel cell experts have used about 200 tonnes of hydrogen in their developments tests since 2015.

ARB sees beginning of market penetration of battery-electric medium- and heavy-duty trucks and buses

Green Car Congress

The draft assessment identifies the status of battery-electric vehicle (BEV) technology that can reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) and criteria pollutant emissions from Class 2b through Class 8 vehicles (gross vehicle weight of 8,501 pounds and up). Currently, BEVS in the marketplace typically use lithium-ion battery chemistries.

Successful performance test of natural Albany graphite versus synthetic graphite in a Ballard fuel cell stack; potential cost reduction

Green Car Congress

The membrane electrode assembly (MEA), which includes the gas diffusion layer (GDL), is a critical component of a PEM fuel cell that must meet exacting performance standards for the fuel cell to be robust and reliable. However, the cost to produce synthetic graphite is high and its production also has significant environmental impacts.
