TME engineers will support the overall design of the system and the integration of the module into the bus to ensure optimum efficiency, power and service life.
The heavy-duty unit’s efficiency results in a comparatively low consumption of hydrogen relative to the power generation. With an integrated voltage converter, the TFCM operates in a voltage range of 450 to 700v and most efficiently at around 30kW.
In line with its vision of a decarbonised society, Toyota is promoting the application of its hydrogen fuel cell technology beyond passenger cars to include heavy duty trucks, small delivery trucks, boats and buses.
To realise this goal, Toyota is establishing partnerships with several European OEMs that share the same hydrogen vision. Bringing together all types of hydrogen applications around hydrogen infrastructure, will support the development of ecosystems where hydrogen mobility can expand further.
