Conclusions

HyTRAN is a unique in that:

It is an exceptional collaboration betweenautomakers and manufacturers of fuel cell systems

The goals are to advance fuel cell technology

towards commercialisation, rather than to only

demonstrate the functionality of fuel cells

Which makes HyTRAN one of Europe's most

advanced and realistic fuel cell projects today
