Low-emission energy supplies at truck stops. Fuel cell onboard power supply.

Artikel

Long-distance trucks also require electrical power when they are not moving or parked in truck stops - for air conditioning, communications technology, lighting, kettles and refrigerators. However, if the driver lets his 400-PS engine idle, he will use too much diesel - and noise, exhaust fumes and soot pollute the environment. As an environmentally friendly alternative, engineers are developing an engine-independent onboard power supply with a high-temperature fuel cell system that uses diesel as the fuel.
