Nuvera Fuel Cells will collaborate with Viritech to support the deployment of its VPT60N powertrain designed for hydrogen-powered, motorsport and on-road commercial vehicles.
Under a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), Nuvera is set to supply its E-Series fuel cell engines for integration with Viritech’s powertrain product line. H2 View understands that Nuvera’s solution can achieve up to 8kW/L, meeting the demands of aerospace, motorsports and automotive applications.
The two companies previously collaborated by integrating Nuvera’s E-60 engine into a hydrogen-powered race car, designed by Viritech. The vehicle is operational and has “successfully undergone” demonstrations at the MIRA test facility.
“This collaboration will allow customers who see fuel cells as a key technology to get their projects up and running quickly, and optimise their systems over time,” explained Kedar Murthy, Chief Commercial Officer at Nuvera.
Viritech’s CEO, Timothy Lyons, added, “Milestone products drive industry change and help advance important technologies like fuel cells for clean on-road vehicles.
“The collaboration is intended to accelerate the development of fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV) and lead to significantly more efficient products and solutions within a complete high-performance FCEV ecosystem.”
In April (2024), Nuvera secured a repeat order for its E-Series fuel cell engine from DEVINN, based in the Czech Republic.

The second unit of fuel cells would allow the company to pair the technology with an onsite electrolyser to produce electricity and feed into the grid.
