MUNICH, Sept. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

- REFIRE PRISMA XII+ fuel cell system makes Euro debut, revealing latest tech

innovations in fuel cell power and efficiency for heavy-duty trucks

- REFIRE actively engages global partners, customers along the hydrogen value

chain, for greater collaboration and commercialisation of the fuel cell

industry.

In the context of the current global response to climate disruption, hydrogen

technologies are crucial to achieving a carbon-neutral future, particularly

within the mobility sector. At IAA Mobility 2021 in Munich, Shanghai REFIRE

Technology Co., Ltd. (REFIRE), as a leading global provider of hydrogen fuel

cell technologies, presents its new cutting-edge hydrogen fuel cell system

PRISMA XII+ that incorporates the company's latest technological advancements,

providing heavy-duty trucks with greater power and efficiency. The European

debut of REFIRE's PRISMA XII+ is supported by Germany's eCap Mobility, a

strategic partner for the European market. The two companies have been

cooperating since late 2019 to develop rapidly deployable and sustainable

hydrogen mobility end use cases.

Such advantages as a longer range and faster refuelling, combined with a

greater load-carrying capacity make fuel cells a uniquely attractive option for

heavy-duty trucks, as this sector accelerates a transition towards

decarbonisation. The PRISMA XII+ fuel cell system targets the increasing number

of performance challenges faced by heavy-duty trucks deployed across a range of

different application scenarios. Efficiency upgrades for the system amount to a

net 10 per cent improvement over previous models with the balance of plant

(BOP) power consumption down by 10 kW. PRISMA XII+ is designed to operate for

at least 30,000 hours with less than a 10 per cent degradation in performance –

a figure to put it on par with heavy-duty internal combustion engines.

Founded in 2015 with the vision of accelerating mass adoption of zero-emission

fuel cell mobility and power, REFIRE has delivered more than 3,000 fuel cell

system variations to its customers. These have been deployed in over 2,700

operational fuel cell commercial vehicles and other project types in 17 cities

across China and in 5 other countries including Germany.

In August this year, a converted Mercedes-Benz Citaro bus equipped with a

REFIRE PRISMA fuel cell system made its operational debut at the Lower Oder

Valley National Park in Germany to provide a zero-emission passenger service

throughout the ecologically protected zone.

REFIRE also continues to expand its international footprint, both by

introducing its products and services into the European market and by reaching

global partnerships to accelerate its goal of sustainable mobility and power.

Assisted by TÜV Nord, recent RDW[1] certification granted to REFIRE's PRISMA

fuel cell system and its ASTRAWORKS factory system further paves the way for

REFIRE's European market expansion and is key to clustering reputable partners

and tailoring products for international markets.
