TECO 2030 announced that it successfully completes feasibility study for developing and industrializing a one size fits all heavy-duty truck fuel cell system. The feasibility study was pushed out in time, due to the broader investigation scope regarding product development of an automotive fuel cell system and how it can be industrialized at existing production facility in Narvik. The results from the feasibility study proved that system performance targets could be met or exceeded while using existing TECO 2030 infrastructure in Narvik and marine fuel cell technology.

Through the study, the parties have investigated how the same fuel cell system packaging can be universally integrated to fit into both an EU 40 ton- and US class 8 heavy duty truck. design investigations, complemented by a performance simulation study revealed that could industrialize a range of automotive fuel cell systems ranging from 280 to 320kW, by utilizing the existing FCM400 supply chain, 100kW marine stack technology and reach large production volumes faster with the existing production infrastructure in Narvik. TECO 2030 will deliver 4 x 100kW fuel cell stacks to the 'AVL Fuel Cell DemoTruck' project towards the end of 2023.

The goal of this project is to validate the stack technology together with AVL's HyTruck prototype fuel cell module for heavy-duty trucks.
