Nuvera Fuel Cells, a manufacturer of heavy-duty, zero-emission fuel cell engines for on- and off-road mobility and other applications, has formed a strategic partnership with Dayco.
This partnership combines the strengths of both companies to design and develop advanced fully integrated fuel cell solutions for a variety of commercial vehicles, stationary, industrial, and mobile applications.
Dayco and Nuvera are working together to develop integrated fuel cell electric power solutions for a future that is both sustainable and clean. Dayco’s long-standing capabilities in propulsion system technologies, combined with Nuvera’s patented controls and flexible applications architecture for fuel cells, will improve system performance, robustness, and reliability with high-quality assurance and scalability.
“Dayco’s energy control management and integration competencies coupled with Nuvera’s decades of experience in fuel cell technologies will allow us to provide a highly optimized and efficient full zero-emission integrated fuel cell power system for commercial vehicles, industrial, material handling, and off-highway applications with best-in-class performance and durability,” stated Wouter Nijenhuis, Executive Vice President of OE Sales and Business Development at Dayco.
Dayco acts as a Tier 1 supplier and vehicle integrator to provide optimal vehicle performance and energy management in accordance with global emission reduction regulations and trends. Dayco’s innovative zero-emission propulsion solutions are based on Nuvera’s eighth-generation fuel cell stack technology, which is integrated into a power system with balance-of-plant components and embedded controls.
“With ever-tightening regulations in the US, Europe, and Asia, there is a critical need for zero-emissions power solutions for commercial vehicles in trucking, public transit, and many off-road sectors that meet highly demanding performance requirements. Nuvera’s commercially available fuel cell packages deliver high efficiency, reliability, and durability,” said Lucien Robroek, CEO of Nuvera. “Coupled with Dayco’s engineering services and automotive componentry, we are providing our customers a direct path to adoption of fuel cell-powered vehicles and machinery.”
Fuel cell electric vehicles are the future of transportation, and they are strong competitors to traditional internal combustion engines, offering comparable range and refueling times, as well as the convenience of electric drivetrains. Dayco and Nuvera are committed to delivering sustainable integrated fuel cell system solutions for off-highway, heavy-duty, and light-duty applications around the world, thanks to their unrivaled technological advancements.
