In addition to fuel cell orders, this would mean engineering collaboration between the two firms, each bringing its specific and considerable expertise to these projects.
Key Points:
- In addition to fuel cell orders, this would mean engineering collaboration between the two firms, each bringing its specific and considerable expertise to these projects.
- Locomotives have for some time been considered a prime target for new and renewable propulsion technology, but this collaboration may result in the first rail application of a fuel cell in the United States.
- NGP chose FCET's fuel cell due in large part to its low-cost, high-efficiency design, making it a perfect candidate for installation in both light-rail and freight locomotive applications.
- FCET's SOFC would be an improvement over existing PEM designs due to SOFC's advantages in efficiency and power density.
