As commercial vehicles transition from mechanical combustion systems to electrified propulsion, the requirements for efficient and reliable thermal management grow increasingly complex. To address these challenges, a mobile test bench has been developed at RWTH Aachen University. This containerized system allows complete fuel cell units to be installed and tested under realistic conditions, combining power rack integration, auxiliary propulsion machinery, and advanced monitoring capabilities. By providing a flexible platform for testing and validation, the setup bridges the gap between laboratory simulations and real-world heavy-duty vehicle applications.

You will gain insights into:

• A container-based test environment for fuel cell systems
• Integration of a power rack and auxiliary propulsion for realistic simulation
• Validation methods for thermal management and energy efficiency
