These vehicles are needed on the market to meet the European Commission\u2019s mobility targets (Green Deal) by 2050. Both the European Union and the EU member states themselves view hydrogen as the energy carrier of future mobility. The innovative fuel cell stack, which is to be further developed in this project by W\u00e4taS W\u00e4rmetauscher Sachsen GmbH, is the key technology in the initiative. Research into new manufacturing approaches and functionalities of the fuel cell stack is supported by Fraunhofer IWU. Fraunhofer IWU is also testing the integration of the new development into the vehicle concept being developed by the Czech project partners. 1to1design s.r.o. and the Faculty of Transportation Sciences at the Czech Technical University in Prague are developing and validating approaches for the design and hybridization of the new drive concept for small vehicles. \u00daJV \u0158e\u017e, a. s. is contributing its expertise in the development of fuel cell vehicles and providing testing facilities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">The project proposal thus contributes to CO<sub>2<\/sub>-neutral mobility in both urban and suburban areas. The new propulsion concept also has a positive impact on road traffic noise and the space required by vehicles. Within two years, integration and manufacturing approaches are to be developed, technologies tested, prototypes built, and the results demonstrated in a prototype demonstration vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>The project has the potential to serve as a benchmark for mobile fuel cell applications, thereby enabling the identification, reproduction, and resolution of application-specific challenges faced by the (automotive) industry.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c44d242 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"c44d242\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"391\" src=\"https:\/\/referenzfabrik.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Foerderlogos-vertikal-1024x500.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-4203\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/referenzfabrik.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Foerderlogos-vertikal-1024x500.png 1024w, https:\/\/referenzfabrik.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Foerderlogos-vertikal-300x147.png 300w, https:\/\/referenzfabrik.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Foerderlogos-vertikal-768x375.png 768w, https:\/\/referenzfabrik.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Foerderlogos-vertikal.png 1480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Das Ziel des FuE-Verbundprojektes \u00bbHydrocycle\u00ab ist die Erforschung und Entwicklung eines wasserstoffbetriebenen Kleinfahrzeugs.
