Federico Zenith – Giantleap

ELFIS presented in Hanoi, Vietnam

ELFIS, the diagnostic method developed by SINTEF and FESB in Giantleap, has been presented at the VPPC2019 conference in Hanoi, Vietnam.

Final Project Meeting

The final meeting of the Giantleap project has been held in Valkenswaard, the Netherlands, at VDL’s premises – and included a tour with a battery bus powered byt the hydrogen range extender developed in the project.

Hydrogen Range Extender Assembled

Giantleap’s key deliverable, the hydrogen-fuelled range extender for battery buses, has recently been assembled at VDL’s workshop in the Netherlands.

The first tests and demonstration are expected in the first week of July, with the support of Bosch Engineering and ElringKlinger.

Giantleap Researcher Receives Prestigious Award

Nadia Yousfi Steiner, leader for Prognostic and Dissemination activities in Giantleap, has been awarded a Bronze Medal by the French National Center for Scientific Research.

Journal Article on Degradation Monitoring

Researchers in the Giantleap project have just published a paper in the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy describing a new method to monitor fuel-cell degradation without dedicated equipment.

Experiments on Full-Size Stacks

The Giantleap project announces today the release of a new public report on experiments on a full-size stack performed at ElringKlinger with the support of SINTEF.

Strong Interest for Giantleap at Hanover Fair

The Giantleap project organised last week a booth at the Hanover Fair‘s section for Hydrogen and Fuel Cells. Many visitors were very interested, to the point we started running out of brochures already on Wednesday.

See you at the Hanover Fair!

Giantleap will in two weeks be represented at the Hanover Fair in Germany, from April 1 to 5. We will be in Hall 27, Booth D74. Closest entrance is West 2.

Giantleap featured at Czech Hydrogen Days

Giantleap has the honour of being invited to the 2019 Hydrogen Days conference in Prague, March 27-29. [UPDATE- read more for full text]

Rejuvenation Techniques for PEM Fuel Cells

Giantleap partner FESB has recently completed a public report on their progress towards the development of techniques to recover fuel-cell degradation that was previously thought to be irreversible. This may have profound impact on the lifetime of fuel cells and their commercialisation.
