Johnson Matthey (JM) and Bosch have announced a partnership to accelerate the development and production of catalyst coated membranes (CCM) for fuel cell stacks. The agreement is part of a larger effort to transform and decarbonize the automotive industry. JM’s high-performance CCMs will be used in Bosch’s fuel cell power module for commercial vehicles, aimed at enhancing fuel cell efficiency and supporting zero-emission mobility. The partnership will integrate JM’s expertise in CCM technology with Bosch’s fuel cell solutions, resulting in more efficient and scalable fuel cell power modules for commercial vehicles.
The companies aim to reduce emissions and promote clean energy generation. Hydrogen fuel cells, which combine hydrogen and oxygen to generate electricity, produce only pure water as a byproduct, making them a clean and zero-emission option for electric vehicles. The collaboration will focus on developing fuel cell technology for mobile applications, increasing performance and efficiency in fuel cell stacks.
Anish Taneja, Chief Executive of JM Hydrogen Technologies, and Beate Grota, Executive Vice President of Engineering Power Solutions at Bosch Mobility, marked the agreement at Bosch’s fuel cell center in Stuttgart-Feuerbach, Germany. Both executives expressed their enthusiasm for the partnership, highlighting its potential to accelerate cleaner mobility and energy generation.
The agreement signals a significant step towards a more sustainable future for the automotive industry, with the companies working together to develop cutting-edge technology that promotes zero-emission mobility.
