TECO 2030 has completed selection of all major component suppliers and procured necessary parts for the first fuel cell modules (FCM400). This means the FCM400 development is close to completion and the first units are ready for assembly. The layout release entails a freeze of all functional components to allow for further resimulation and fine detail solutions to be executed.

The first FCM400 will be assembled at AVL's facility in Graz, Austria during Quarter 2, before its scheduled operation in the advanced testbed for complete simulation. The fuel cell development project now shifts from design engineering to the build and validation phase. The FCM400 will complete advanced testbed operations during Quarter 3 2023.

The FCM400 is the building block in TECO 2030's Fuel Cell Power System and is a key driver towards achieving zero emissions while operating marine and heavy-duty applications. The system is designed for an electrical capacity of 400kW.
