Abstract:

The innovative technologies on the powertrain of a kind of foreign-country mass-produced fuelcell sedan were analyzed to further promote research and development of China’s fuel cell vehicles. These technologies promoted the maximum power, environmental adaptability, reliability, durability, hydrogentank
mass effectiveness, as well as reduced cost, so that popularized fuel cell application onto vehicles. The powertrain topology, the fuel cell stack assembly, high pressure hydrogen storage system on this kind of sedan are of significance to global fuel cell researchers, so do the internal self-humidification of the fuel cell system and bipolar plate design.

Key words: fuel cell sedan, powertrain, stack assembly, high pressure hydrogen storage system, internal selfhumidification, bipolar plate
