VOLUMETRIQ - Current Automotive PEM Fuel Cell

Current automotive PEM fuel cell stack manufacturing is very much oriented towards meeting the volume requirements of the day. Stacks are invariably hand-built using components which in some cases are selected based on bespoke quality requirements. As a result manufacturing through-put is too slow and high in cost to meet the 2020 targets.  If PEM fuel cells are to make a significant impact on the modern auto-industry in the EU, development of the manufacturing approach to all components must be made to facilitate high volume capability throughout the supply chain – from sub-component through to stack assembly.
