“The 24V fuel cell system is precisely tailored to the requirements of in-house material flow,” says Rochelmeyer, describing this special feature of the Linde HyPower 24V fuel cell system. Precise coordination with the powerful lithium-ion battery protects the fuel cell stacks, thus ensuring a long service life. The system is also noise-optimized and fully networked. Users also benefit from fast charging times of just a few minutes and zero emissions during operation. If the hydrogen comes from renewable sources, the vehicle’s entire footprint is carbon neutral.
