Impressions of the Hydrogen Summit 2025 on Powertrains & Infrastructure in Kempten.

What can the future of mobility look like and how can we meet the energy requirements of the transportation sector and industry? How can we increase the efficiency of fuel cell systems and make it easier to get started with the technology?

These and many other questions were addressed at the "Hydrogen Summit 2025 on Powertrains & Infrastructure" at Kempten University of Applied Sciences, where the results of the successfully completed cleanEngine research project were also presented.

Science forum

Professor Birgit Scheppat used her expert knowledge to professionally guide the audience through the event, which was held in cooperation with Hochschule RheinMain. At the science forum, researchers from Kempten University of Applied Sciences explained the development of a simulation and test environment for fuel cell drives and the influence of energy management on the efficiency of fuel cell drives. Maximilian Kleber, doctoral candidate at Hochschule RheinMain, spoke about the investigation of technical and physical scaling effects on fuel cell systems at system level. Matthias Enders from Fraunhofer LBF and post-doc at Hochschule RheinMain demonstrated how vibrations influence the reliability of fuel cell stacks. Professor Saskia Biehl from Fraunhofer LBF gave an overview of materials, components and systems for a sustainable and reliable hydrogen economy.

Business forum

In the business forum, participants were able to take a look at the developments of top-class companies. For example, the BWM Group presented its hydrogen strategy using the iX5 Hydrogen as an example. DACHSER reported on its experiences with the use of H2 trucks in logistics and the development potential, and NEUMANN & ESSER presented holistic solutions from the industry with regard to the expansion of decentralized hydrogen production.

Following the forums, interested parties were able to visit the H2 research facility at the Hydrogen Center Kempten, including the fuel cell powertrain test stand of Professor Mehr's team at Kempten University of Applied Sciences, as well as a 600 kW electrolysis plant from Kyros.
