Nuvera Fuel Cells has started construction of a fuel cell stack production line in the Hangzhou district of Fuyang, China.

The agreement provided incentives to Nuvera for the establishment of its production facility. The fuel cells will power zero-emissions, heavy-duty vehicles such as delivery vans and transit buses.
“China is leading the world in the adoption of fuel cell electric vehicles and we are excited to be at ground zero of this transformation” said Nuvera Fuel Cells CEO, Lucien Robroek.
“The new manufacturing site establishes Nuvera as a major fuel cell provider both in China and in the entire Asian region.”
The combined market for fuel cell forklifts, passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles in China is expected to reach nearly 50,000 units per year in 2025 and 400,000 units per year by 2030.
The Nuvera site incorporates equipment for the automated manufacture of up to 5,000 fuel cell stacks per year for vehicle applications. Additional capacity can be added as demand requires.
