Giantleap’s Fuel-Cell System is Ready
After two years of project, Bosch Engineering and the Giantleap Consortium can publish details of our trailer-mounted fuel-cell system for battery buses. Continue reading “Giantleap’s Fuel-Cell System is Ready”
Giantleap Control System
The Giantleap project announces today the publication of one of its core reports, Control System Specification and Algorithms. This report details the novel control concepts to be installed in the Giantleap prototype and how they fit in the pre-existing fuel-cell control unit by BEG. Continue reading “Giantleap Control System”
Project meeting M24 held in Split
2 years into the project, the partners have gathered in Split, Croatia, to assess the progress and plan the last year of Giantleap. Continue reading “Project meeting M24 held in Split”

Hydrogen Conference in Trondheim, Norway
Giantleap will be represented with two presentations at an international conference to be held on May 14-15 in Trondheim, Norway. The conference is organised by Trondheim’s NTNU University and has a global scope, with keynote speakers from EU, USA, China and Canada. Continue reading “Hydrogen Conference in Trondheim, Norway”
MoZEES Annual Meeting
Giantleap will be represented by Ivar Halvorsen at the 2018 Annual Meeting of MoZEES, a Norwegian research group focused on zero-emission mobility gathering all main research institutions in Norway.
Ivar will be presenting the recent advances in Low-Frequency EIS for PEM Fuel-Cell Diagnostics.
Interfaces for Hydrogen Range Extenders
One of the main features of the Giantleap project is the idea of using fuel cells to extend the range of battery buses. To do so, battery buses and range extenders must be equipped with standardised electrical, mechanical and communication interfaces. Continue reading “Interfaces for Hydrogen Range Extenders”
Full-Size Stacks to Integrate in the FC System
ElringKlinger delivered several stack modules in the Giantleap project for integration in the fuel-cell system and for bench testing. These modules are actually more than a stack of fuel cells, and include multiple sensors and an innovative passive recirculation system. Continue reading “Full-Size Stacks to Integrate in the FC System”
Report on Prognostic Algorithms
The Giantleap project publishes today one of its key deliverables: Model-based prognostic algorithm for PEM fuel cell systems, authored by Raffaele Petrone of the University of Franche-Comté. Continue reading “Report on Prognostic Algorithms”
