FCe™ 80 Fuel Cell Electric EngineThe 80kW Fuel Cell electric engine Unit is the most robust fuel cell with fast
transient power capabilities providing a fully integrated freeze capable system
with a rapid startup design and industry leading power density specifically
designed for medium-and heavy-duty goods movement, transit bus, utility,
refrigerated & cargo trucks, and off-road applications.
FCe™150 Fuel Cell Electric Engine The 150kW Fuel Cell electric engine Unit has been designed for heavy-duty
commercial vehicles applications. The robust and fast transient capabilities
make this electric engine ideal for transit, articulated buses, light rail, Specialty
trucks, and off-road applications. The industry leading durability of over 12,000
hours ensures years of Zero Emission mobility and power generation.
US FuelCell is the premier supplier of integrated fuel cell Electric Engine, “FCe™”, for medium- and heavy-duty commercial
vehicles, including the most robust powerplant in transit bus operation.
About US FuelCell: US FuelCell is a subsidiary of US Hybrid. It was established in 2013, after US Hybrid’s purchase of the United Technologies’ UTC Power PEM Fuel Cell Transportation division along with the UTC global PEM IP license to commercialize the PEM Fuel Cell technology for commercial vehicles. US FuelCell is focused on manufacturing PEM fuel cell power plants with integrated control and power conversion for medium and heavy-duty fuel cell commercial buses and trucks.
The unique feature of the US Fuel Cell power plant is that it not only includes the balance of plant, but also offers an integrated DC-DC power converter, allowing the power plant to function as an Hydrogen Electric Engine “FCe™”. We are adding our proven advanced electronics and system know-how to the FCe™, making it easier for end-user commercial deployment with lower total capital and life cycle cost. US FuelCell’s FCe™ PEM fuel cell product line is the global leader in life-hours durability, achieving more than 22,000 hours of operation and zero stack failure in transit bus applications.
US FuelCell is at the forefront of the clean energy industry, committed to developing more efficient and cleaner energy solutions for transportation that provide the most value to our transportation industry partners globally.

●Performance Notes
† System efficiency represents energy delivered per energy fed in the form of hydrogen (calculated on a LHV basis).
‡ Full power is the maximum power the electric engine can continuously deliver. * Coolant over temperature power derating and protection. ** This electric engine is equipped with a keep-warm system which should be plugged in overnight on cold days to prevent freezing.
The electric engine will not be damaged from freezing; however, additional time is required for thawing before starting.
