PowerCell Group has expanded its collaboration with Bosch through a series of initiatives aimed at accelerating the deployment of hydrogen fuel cell systems in mobility applications. Both companies are also jointly evaluating further possibilities for market entries in stationary applications. The partnership aims to scale the technology and make it accessible to a broader set of customers, such as those in China.
To meet the rapidly growing demand for high-performance fuel cell stacks in China, Bosch has acquired extended use rights for its China-based stack development for the automotive market. Valued at approximately €6 million, the agreement will enable Bosch to further stack adaption not only to local requirements but also to a global perspective.
Under the new framework, PowerCell will open access to Bosch for selected non-automotive customers in China, including those in the backup power, construction and industrial mobility sectors.
“We are happy to continue to build on this very strong industrial collaboration,” said Richard Berkling, CEO of PowerCell Group. “This agreement reinforces the collaboration and with our combined expertise, we excel at bridging the gap between technological platforms and customer reality, making fuel cells work in sectors where performance and reliability are non-negotiable. Together with Bosch, we scale faster, smarter and more sustainably.”
