TRUCKS' PRODUCTS * UK - Onboard fuel cells set to provide auxiliary power

London,EN,UK -Transport Engineer, by John Challen -19 Nov 2010: -- Operators that run fleet vehicles requiring auxiliary power could be set to benefit from fuel cell technology, developed by Antares...  With the cell packs not expected to feature as a viable method of driving vehicles for the forseeable future, the engineering firm says it is continuing evaluations of the technology...  As such, its APU (auxiliary power unit), which weighs just 9kg, is being offered to operators that would typically use a battery charger back at the depot, or need power for long periods in the field...  The fuel comes pre-packed in cartridges, allowing refuelling while the cell is running. The cartridges come in quantities of five, 10 or 15L, and the high energy density of the fuel can operate equipment for weeks or months from a single fuel canister..  (Photo from fuelcelltoday: Image BMW APU)
