Cellcentric is a joint venture of Daimler Truck AG and the Volvo Group and develops, produces and markets fuel cell systems for use in heavy-duty commercial vehicles as well as for other areas of application. The company leverages the know-how and experience of several decades of development work on fuel cells of its predecessor companies.

The goal is to become a leading global manufacturer of fuel cells and thus contribute to climate-neutral transportation. In our plant tour, you will already get an insight into fuel cell production and meet the people who work passionately every day on the development, production and marketing of fuel cells.

Makino is present in Europe through 4 technology centers and 8 regions. Each one focus on bringing global solutions to the local market in terms of marketing, sales, application technology and service —you can find it all in our Regional Tech Centers.

The DLR Institute in Lampoldshausen has been operating rocket test stands for decades, including for the large Ariane engines. These mostly use liquid hydrogen. DLR uses its expertise in handling hydrogen, gaseous and liquid (cryogenic), as well as in operating and planning hydrogen-carrying facilities, to enable companies with support and test facilities to develop new technologies with hydrogen. A hydrogen test field open to all technologies, the H2CT, is currently being created in the Zero Emission project. A larger one, the Hydrogenium, is being planned. With the construction of 2 electrolysers (H2Orizon and Zero Emission), DLR is a pioneer and demonstrator for decentralised self-sufficiency with green hydrogen. This is used on the rocket test stands and in the hydrogen test fields.

Audi AG is responsible for the development and industrialization of fuel cell technology within the Volkswagen Group. Audi can look back on more than two decades of expertise in electric drive systems using hydrogen fuel cells. The Fuel Cell Technology Competence Center is located at Audi's Neckarsulm site. Research work is carried out here in order to gain important experience under a wide variety of conditions and to remain capable of acting in this technology. To this end, Audi is working in the fuel cell technical center with its own development, production and testing of components to optimize relevant properties, such as efficiency, service life and cost-effectiveness. In addition, exchanges with various suppliers and cooperation with universities in this specialist field are important. Audi is aiming for maximum flexibility for different applications.
