Nuvera Fuel Cells has boosted its hydrogen fuel cell engine testing capabilities with the commissioning of a large-scale durability test facility in Italy.

The Nuvera Fuel Cell Engine Test Module (ETM) is a fully equipped testing ground for the company’s expanding product line.

To demonstrate that Nuvera’s power systems meet the requirements of commercial medium and heavy-duty motive applications, Nuvera said the ETM provides the capability of simultaneously testing up to eight fuel cell engines at different customer-specific load cycles.

Verifying Nuvera fuel cell engine performance for the requirements of bus customers in China is among the early activities underway.
