IE-DRIVE HD100 hydrogen fuel cells for buses, trucks and stationary power
IE-DRIVE™ HD100 is Intelligent Energy’s (IE) as a complete heavy duty fuel cell system, engineered to deliver up to 100 kW of continuous zero-emission power. Designed for demanding automotive and industrial applications, it combines high performance with compact packaging and simplified integration
At the heart of the HD100 system is a robust fuel cell module that houses both the PEM fuel cell stack and the majority of the balance of plant (BoP) components. This integrated design minimises system complexity and installation. To further streamline deployment, IE provides essential auxiliary components – including a heat exchanger and exhaust system – ensuring that customers receive a near-complete solution ready for integration.
The HD100 system adheres to the StaSHH (Standardisation of Heavy-Duty Hydrogen) interface standard, enabling compatibility with a wide range of vehicle platforms and simplifying the adoption of hydrogen technology across the industry. It has been developed with road-use certification in mind, making it ideal for integration into buses, trucks, and other on-road commercial vehicles.
Applications of IE-DRIVE HD100 fuel cell systems
The system is highly versatile and suitable for a broad spectrum of motive and stationary applications, including:
- Heavy duty road vehicles such as coaches, buses and trucks
- Material handling equipment (MHE) such as forklifts and port vehicles
- Off-highway vehicles used in mining, agriculture, and construction
- Rail and marine propulsion systems seeking clean alternatives to diesel
- Stationary and mobile power systems, including hybrid generators, emergency backup units, and scalable multi-megawatt hydrogen power plants
