IE-DRIVE 100 for fuel cell powered cars

IE-DRIVE™ 100 is Intelligent Energy’s high-power hydrogen fuel cell system engineered specifically for passenger cars and light commercial vehicles (LCVs). Delivering peak power of up to 110 kW, it is packaged in a compact, engine-shaped format that aligns with the spatial and performance demands of modern vehicle platforms.

The hydrogen fuel cell module and surrounding system has been designed specifically to serve as a drop-in replacement for traditional internal combustion engines, enabling manufacturers to transition to zero-emission powertrains with minimal disruption to existing vehicle architecture. The fuel cell module and its supporting systems are optimised for seamless integration, ensuring that installation into new or retrofitted vehicles is as straightforward as possible.

The IE-DRIVE™ 100 offers exceptional flexibility, allowing OEMs to tailor the system to different vehicle classes and configurations. Whether for urban delivery vans, fleet vehicles, or passenger cars, the system supports a wide range of applications where space is limited but performance cannot be compromised.

Applications of IE-DRIVE 100

  • Passenger vehicle
  • Light commercial vehicle
