In July 2018, Liebherr-Aerospace was selected as a supplier by a major Chinese automobile manufacturer.
Developed electric compressors and electric power units for a new generation of fuel cell vehicles with a maximum capacity of 5 passengers.
This cooperation not only covers the development and verification of electric compressors, but also the supply of electric power units and prototypes. The cooperation and contract with automakers is Liebherr's long-term practice of “developing footprints in China”. One of the strategies
Important milestone.
Robust, reliable, efficient
This collaboration demonstrates Liebherr's leadership and experience in electric turbine applications in the automotive, rail and automotive systems.
For more than a decade, Liebherr has been working with major automakers to develop a new generation of fuel cell vehicles. Liebherr-Aerospace has developed a high-speed motor-driven centrifugal compressor air bearing technology developed for aviation activities. The battery system provides the best way to compress and pressurize the air.
Liebherr's electric compressors meet the stringent requirements of fuel cell systems in the automotive sector: they are extremely rugged and reliable, they require no fuel, are compact, are extremely efficient, cost-effective, have low noise pollution and provide fast dynamic response.
Since 2007, the fact that more than 100 cars using Liebherr-developed electric turbo compressors have successfully traveled millions of miles without failure has proved this.
Mr. Nicolas Bonleux, Managing Director and Chief Sales Officer of Liebherr-Aerospace and Transportation Co., Ltd. commented on this cooperation:
'The contract signed this time is not only an agreement reached between the two parties. It is also a living evidence that Liebherr uses its own technology to help customers make the production of a new generation of fuel cell vehicles in China. Liebherr in China The footprint is continuing to extend. '
