German auto-parts maker Bosch Engineering is set to unveil its fuel cell control unit (FCCU) for zero-emission vehicles at the 2014MobiliTec specialist trade show in Hannover, Germany.
The FCCU, which is developed for zero-emission off-highway applications, is based on the company's automotive large-scale series production hardware.
The new software features integrated hydrogen, air, and coolant control to increase energy efficiency and reduce consumption. It supports a range of system configurations and can be used in several mobile and stationary applications.
Bosch will initially apply its FCCU technology in a project, Innovative On-Board Energiewandler (InnoROBE), funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research.
Under this project, Bosch is offering a central control unit for a fuel cell system to provide energy for an electrically powered baggage towing truck. The aim of this project is to increase zero-emission range of the company.
Bosch Engineering offers engineering services for automotive, railway and commercial vehicles, off-highway applications, and powersports.
