Stuttgart and Berlin, Germany – Climate-friendly solutions are becoming increasingly important in public transportation across European cities. Bosch recently unveiled the latest version of its fuel cell power module (FCPM), which offers opportunities for sustainable urban bus transportation. With this climate-neutral solution, the vehicles can be powered electrically and – when using renewable hydrogen – completely CO₂-free. . The FCPM C100 compact unit is a new addition to Bosch’s fuel-cell power module portfolio, covering a power range between 100 and 300 kilowatts. The flat module, only 40 centimeters high, was specifically designed for mounting on the roof of the vehicle—a common solution for European city buses. The easily integrable system was developed for city buses between 12 and 18 meters in length.
Climate protection is the goal
“In addition to battery-electric buses, fuel-cell electric vehicles can also be used to combat climate change” said Jan-Oliver Röhrl, executive vice president of the Bosch Power Solutions division and chairman of Bosch’s global commercial vehicle activities. “The fuel cell is especially well-suited for buses that travel longer distances every day and rarely have the opportunity to charge en route” he added. According to an EU regulation, by 2030, carbon emissions from newly registered city buses must be reduced by 90 percent compared to 2019 levels, and starting in 2040, this rule will apply to all other new bus types as well.
Vehicles with fuel-cell power modules, which the EU recognizes as zero-emission vehicles, can make an important contribution here. The recently introduced FCPM 100, 190, and 300 fuel cell power modules are an ideal power source for both heavy-duty trucks and intercity buses.
Bosch offers cutting-edge technology across the entire hydrogen value chain
