Dana Showcases Latest Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Innovation at HANNOVER MESSE 2024
As Europe’s largest manufacturer of metallic bipolar plates, Dana has leveraged more than two decades of design-to-manufacturing experience to provide its customers with a variety of bipolar plate technologies, including metallic bipolar plates and graphite composite plates for mobile and stationary fuel cell stacks, metallic bipolar plates for hydrogen electrolyzers, and special bipolar plates for redox flow batteries (RFB).

Production of metallic bipolar plates for fuel cell stacks has been underway at Dana’s facility in Neu-Ulm, Germany, since October of 2023. With full production expected to reach peak volume of more than 8 million plates per year in 2025, Dana has the largest production line for metallic bipolar plates in all Europe.

The bipolar plates are being made into fuel cell stacks for mobile applications. These stacks will primarily be used in utility vehicles and will make an important contribution to the successful future of emission-free hydrogen mobility.

Demand for high-performance bipolar plates for proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzers has also significantly increased over the past year. Dana’s new plate designs are currently undergoing prototype testing by leading manufacturers of electrolyzers and electrolysis stacks and preparations for commercial production are underway.
