Description
The SPACT 80 project aims at developing a hybrid fuel cell generator for embedded rail applications. As part of this project, a 80 kW fuel cell, made by HELION Hydrogen Power, was tested under real conditions on a representative rail application platform, and thus integrated into a locomotive of the SNCF (French National Railway Company). A technical achievement made possible by a several robustness tests of the technology facing collisions and vibrations.
