Unveiled at HANNOVER MESSE (April 20–24, 2026), BZA375 is now ready to establish itself as a product available for testing, validation, and further industrial scaling across a wide range of heavy-duty applications.

Key performance figures of the BZA375 at a glance:

Up to 375 kW of continuous net power: more than 500 horsepower from a single system

A weight of less than 500 kg, allowing payload levels to be maintained at levels comparable to those expected from proven diesel technologies

20% lower fuel consumption compared to the previous cellcentric fuel cell system BZA150, enabling a fully loaded 40-ton truck to operate on less than 6 kg of hydrogen per 100 kilometers under real driving conditions

40% reduction in residual heat at 300 kW net power compared to BZA150, enabling significantly more compact and cost-effective cooling systems

40% higher power density compared to BZA150, further facilitating integration into existing vehicle architectures, designed to fit into engine compartments originally developed for conventional 13-liter diesel engines

40% reduction in complexity compared to BZA150, thanks to a significant reduction in components and interfaces
