Summary

EKPO develops and produces PEMFC stack modules that are based on patented de-signs for metallic bipolar plates as well as end plates and media supply assemblies, providing many benefits for integration into fuel cell systems. Low-temperature fuel cell stacks from EKPO have excellent power and durability characteristics and can be used for a very wide variety of vehicle categories. Due to a chemical reaction between oxy-gen and hydrogen, electrical energy is generated which, depending on system design, can directly supply an electric motor or charge battery modules in the vehicle. Our established processes and experience in production technology have given us decisive advantages for series development and production in the field of fuel cells.
