MTU Aero Engines continues to make steady progress on two parallel fuel cell powertrain projects, as it builds towards full system tests over the next two years. MTU Aero Engines continues to make ...

Writer and occasional reluctant perpetrator of engine swaps, James O'Neil is a malaise era enthusiast and also fascinated by the many ways the auto industry has since recovered from those dark days.

BMW’s Plant Steyr is preparing for series production of fuel cell systems, with prototypes of a third-generation hydrogen fuel cell (HFC) system now in testing. Full-scale production is planned for ...

Researchers have developed a new catalyst design capable of pushing the projected fuel cell catalyst lifespans to 200,000 hours. The research marks a significant step toward the widespread adoption of ...

Kyushu University scientists have achieved a major leap in fuel cell technology by enabling efficient proton transport at just 300°C. Their scandium-doped oxide materials create a wide, soft pathway ...

Fuel cells are not some novel new technology. In fact, most history books credit the invention of the fuel cell to Welsh chemist and physicist William Grove, who, in the late 1830s and early 1840s, ...

Fuel cells powered with the metal could provide a new source of electric power that's far more energy-dense than lithium-ion batteries. A new type of fuel cell that runs on sodium metal could one day ...

What if the future of aviation didn’t rely on heavy lithium-ion batteries or complex hydrogen systems, but instead on a fuel as simple and abundant as sodium? At MIT, researchers are turning this bold ...
