- Bosch introduced the fuel-cell power module C100 designed specifically for hydrogen-powered city buses.
- The system delivers 100–300 kW and features a compact roof-mounted design for European bus platforms.
Bosch unveiled the Bosch fuel-cell power module C100 at the Mobility Move trade fair in Berlin on March 10, presenting a new generation hydrogen fuel-cell system designed for urban bus applications. The compact module targets city buses measuring 12 to 18 meters in length and integrates standard CAN and diagnostic interfaces to simplify system integration for manufacturers and fleet operators adopting hydrogen propulsion technologies.
Compact Hydrogen Power Module for Urban Bus Platforms
The system delivers a power range from 100 to 300 kilowatts, allowing flexible deployment across various city bus configurations. Its flat construction and height of only 40 centimeters enable installation on the vehicle roof, a common configuration in European hydrogen bus designs. This architecture helps optimize space within the vehicle while supporting efficient integration of hydrogen fuel-cell propulsion systems.
Development Based on Bosch’s Intercity Bus Fuel-Cell System
The C100 platform builds on the previously introduced FCPM C190 variant, which is intended for intercity buses and coach applications. According to Bosch, the C190 system will undergo testing in demonstration vehicles during the first half of 2026, supporting validation of the technology and helping advance hydrogen-powered public transport solutions across European transit networks.
