The main objective of H2MAC project is to demonstrate the reliability and performance stability of a complete fuel cell (FC) powertrain system on NRMM (non-road mobile machinery) in harsh environments, and/or where access to electricity is limited. Two machines, namely an excavator and a shredder for the construction and mining sector, will be newly designed to integrate a FC powertrain and the related subsystems.
Therefore, simultaneous demonstration of a 120-kW excavator and a 240-kW shredder will be done in a unique demonstration site, where the Regulations Codes and Standards (RCS) will be carefully assessed to pave the way to a successful introduction of hydrogen FC technology in the various NRMM fields of application.
The operation of the machines is also complementary, as the excavator has a load profile derived of its movement during operation, while the shredder is a more static machine when operating.
