GreenGT, a pioneer in the design and development of high-power, high-power density electric-hydrogen solutions and Liebherr-Aerospace Toulouse have signed a protocol of agreement to develop and sell hydrogen fuel-cell systems integrating Liebherr's turbocharger technology.

This agreement has been reached just as GreenGT has designed and developed the first generation of a new fuel-cell system, the NGT, destined for high technological added value (HTAV) applications. This extremely compact system generating a net power output of 65 kW for a mass of 150 kg is equipped with an ETC 25 kW Liebherr electric turbocharger.

The NGT is aimed at applications requiring a high level of performance. Two electric-hydrogen prototype trucks based on Russian manufacturer Kamaz platforms have been successfully equipped with the first NGTs: The 44-ton truck for Carrefour developed since 2016 in the context of the French Cathyopé program as well as another heavy vehicle, a 40 ton truck, developed since 2018 in the context of the Swiss GOH! Consortium for Migros.
