There is a clear need for a cleaner, practical alternative to the internal combustion engine to power our vehicles, and the alternative, according the vast majority of the worlds major automakers will be the PEM fuel cell.
PEM fuel cells in a hybrid electric configuration are viewed as a highly efficient powertrain offering practical driving ranges, with much reduced overall emissions and producing no harmful emissions whatsoever at the tail-pipe.
Intelligent Energy fuel cell power systems are designed for a wide range of motive power applications, providing propulsion, battery charging or on-board auxiliary power.
Our fuel cells are power dense, robust and capable of operation in a wide range of environmental temperatures. They have been designed with mass manufacturability as a priority, use practical and economical fabrication materials and utilise proprietary designs that reduce system size and component count to a minimum.
Our systems have been designed with automotive cold start and operation particularly in mind and our EC systems are presently capable of reaching full power at -20oC in less than two minutes.

PSA Peugeot Citroën case study
Intelligent Energy has also developed the multi award winning ENV, the world's first purpose built hydrogen fuel cell motorbike. The ENV is fueled by pure hydrogen and the only emission it produces is pure water. It can be refilled with hydrogen in less than 5 minutes, makes virtually no noise, has a top speed of 50 mph and a range of 100 miles.
