Battery producer AMTE Power has signed a memorandum of understanding with powertrain developer Viritech to support the development of hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs).
The agreement will see AMTE Power’s Ultra High Power (UHP) cells supplied for use in Viritech’s battery packs for high performance FCEV projects, including heavy goods vehicles (HGVs), light commercial vehicles, marine, aerospace and its hypercar project, Apricale.
An alternative to fully electric vehicles, fuel cells help mitigate challenges around weight and cell charge times in high power and performance vehicles, compared to battery power alone.
