RWTH Aachen Completes 'SeLv' Project for Modular Hydrogen-Powered Trucks
RWTH Aachen University has successfully completed the 'SeLv' project, which developed a modular powertrain kit for hydrogen-powered heavy-duty trucks, funded by the German Federal Ministry of Transport. The project includes a third prototype truck, with the second receiving road approval, and aims to facilitate the conversion of diesel trucks to electric, achieving a range of 750 to over 1,000 kilometers. This initiative, backed by nearly 17 million euros, seeks to enhance development processes in the automotive sector.

RWTH Aachen University's Chair of Production Engineering of E-Mobility Components has completed the 'SeLv' research project, funded by the German Federal Ministry of Transport. The project developed a modular powertrain kit for heavy-duty commercial vehicles, integrating a hydrogen-powered fuel cell and a high-voltage battery.
The team presented a third prototype truck, with the second prototype receiving official road approval. This modular system allows for the conversion of diesel trucks to electric, catering to both OEMs and niche sectors like construction machinery.
The truck can achieve a range of 750 to over 1,000 kilometers and features a peak output of nearly 640 hp. Innovations from the project aim to streamline development processes in the automotive sector, which is often hindered by prototype-stage components. The project received nearly 17 million euros from the German government’s 'Mobility and Fuel Strategy.'
