VIRITECH APRICALE™ HYDROGEN POWERTRAIN

There is so much exciting work underway at Viritech. We wanted to take a moment to share an image of the Apricale hypercar hydrogen powertrain.

One of the great benefits of the technologies associated with electrification is their scalability.

Whereas the engine and gearbox of a passenger car are not capable of being used to power an HGV, in the world of mobile electrification, technologies are far more scalable.

The work we are doing on the Apricale hydrogen hypercar today will have far-reaching benefits as the hydrogen powertrains Viritech develops are scaled and deployed across the Automotive, Aerospace and Marine industries, as well as being applied in Agriculture, Construction and Distributed Power Generation.

The other benefit of hydrogen fuel cell powertrains is that they are actually closely related to battery electric powertrains.

The difference is that the fuel cell generates electricity, while the battery stores electricity generated elsewhere.

Everything downstream of the fuel cell or battery is virtually identical – the motor, transmission and drive system are the same. All these components have no interest in how the electricity was generated – they are simply processing electric power.

Fuel cells and batteries are complementary technologies. It’s not either, or.

We’d love to hear what you think, get in touch info@viritech.co.uk
