The fuel cell test bench will help to increase the understanding and development of hydrogen-based technologies. INEM Director Professor Dr. Ralf Wörner: "The fuel cell test bench supports our research work in the best possible way. It is particularly important for our future Master's students to be able to work on their research projects with good equipment straight away."

As a joint venture between Daimler Truck AG and the Volvo Group, cellcentric develops, produces and markets fuel cell systems for use in heavy commercial vehicles and other applications. The company utilizes the know-how and experience of several decades of development work on fuel cells of its predecessor companies. The aim is to become a leading global manufacturer of fuel cells and thus contribute to climate-neutral transportation.
