Cellcentric has introduced the BZA375, a next-generation fuel cell system designed for heavy-duty transport and other high-demand applications, including coaches, rail, and stationary power.
Originally presented as “NextGen” at Hannover Messe 2026, the BZA375 is now available for testing and validation, with prototype production already underway. The system is engineered to meet OEM-level performance and durability requirements, with a focus on total cost of ownership in long-haul and high-load operations.
The BZA375 delivers up to 375 kW continuous net power from a single-system configuration, replacing the twin-system architecture used in previous generations. This design reduces system complexity and supports easier integration into vehicle platforms originally developed for conventional diesel engines.
Compared to its predecessor (BZA150), the system achieves a 20% reduction in fuel consumption and a 40% reduction in both waste heat and system complexity. Power density has increased by 40%, while total system weight remains below 500 kg, supporting payload requirements in heavy-duty vehicles.
The system maintains a service life of up to 25,000 operating hours, aligning with durability expectations for heavy-duty transport applications.
cellcentric positions the BZA375 as a scalable solution across multiple sectors, enabling a single-system approach for trucks, coaches, rail, and industrial applications. Initial prototype units are currently undergoing validation with customers, with series production targeted for the end of the decade.
