STELION Powertrain

Fuel cell hybrid energy systems
with improved efficiency

The decarbonization of mobility through hydrogen competes with the current lithium-ion battery technology. While these batteries are suitable for vehicles with low energy storage needs (light vehicles, scooters, bicycles, etc.), they may not be as well-suited for vehicles with high energy requirements. Hydrogen, in particular, gains a significant advantage in captive fleets of vehicles that must operate continuously. A perfect example is logistics forklifts. At Hydros Power, we understand this, which is why we’ve developed STELION Powertrain.

Practical and scalable

Compatible with today's electric vehicle designs

Our modular energy storage system, when combined with STELION Supply Network, enables the easy decarbonization of all types of logistics vehicle fleets. We aim to be practical and scalable, which is why our system is compatible with 90% of existing electric forklift models. STELION Powertrain can replace any type of battery with a straightforward retrofit, allowing our customers to increase their fleet’s productivity by 200% without the need to acquire new vehicles – it’s that simple.

STELION Powertrain produces no harmful emissions. The use of the STELION Powertrain system eliminates the costs associated with the management and storage of hazardous substances in battery processes, resulting in a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions due to the elimination of battery recharging

Zero Emissions

Forklifts relying on battery power experience a decline of around 15% in speed during the latter part of the battery charge. The STELION powertrain system, on the other hand, maintains a constant power supply to the forklift, even in freezer environments. This ensures that a fuel cell forklift can maintain top speed throughout the shift.

Increased Productivity

STELION Powertrain system eliminates the need for battery replacement, recharging and maintenance. Concerns about battery degradation are eliminated as these units consistently deliver 100% power to the truck and can be refuelled in less than three minutes, significantly minimising vehicle and personnel downtime.

Lower Operational Costs

Unlike batteries, fuel cells contain no harmful substances such as lead or acid. This means there is no risk of acid spillage, no need for ventilation and no need for personal protective equipment (PPE). STELION Powertrain system provides a safer working environment overall.

No PPE Required

STELION Powertrain system integrates our patented anti-vibration system, which eliminates all adverse effects of vibrations on the fuel cell: efficiency losses, maintenance requirements, and hydrogen leaks.

Patented System

Enhanced with Machine Learning

Increases the efficiency of hydrogen consumption by 20%
and the lifetime of the fuel cell by 38%.

In our pursuit of providing the most efficient solution possible, we’ve developed energy optimization software that can potentially increase hydrogen consumption by 20% and the lifetime of the fuel cell by 38%.
