BLUEPOWER - Climate Neutral Load Transport
Superstructures for waste collection vehicles and sweepers

A conventional garbage truck stops up to 1,000 times a day. The newly developed BLUEPOWER battery/hydrogen drive from FAUN uses the energy generated during the braking process to feed the battery (recuperation). In addition to the battery (85 kWh usable), the vehicle is supplied with energy by 90 kW of fuel cell power, which they generate from hydrogen.
