Celadyne will begin developing fuel cell systems for hydrogen-powered heavy-duty systems after it secured funding from the US Department of Energy (DOE).
The fuel cell solutions are set to support companies such as General Motors (GM) in achieving their fuel cell roadmap, enabling a hydrogen approach to electric vehicles (EVs).
H2 View understands that Celadyne’s fuel cells will utilise the company’s Dura technology to produce durable systems suitable for heavy-duty applications.
The funding was secured through the DOE’s Collaborative Research Agreement, designed to enhance EVs’ efficiency, performance and overall sustainability. Celadyne’s partner, GM, was selected as part of the DOE’s 2023 $47m funding round for green projects.

“At Celadyne, we firmly believe that if you can unlock hydrogen, you can change the world,” claimed Gary Ong, CEO and Founder at Celadyne Technologies.
“We are dedicated to bringing our hydrogen solutions to the world’s major industries and players, propelling hydrogen toward mass market adoption for the sake of the planet.
“To collaborate with some of the world’s most well-known and respected developers of fuel cell systems on such a wide-scale project means bringing green solutions to the forefront.”
In January (2024), GM and Honda began the production of hydrogen fuel cells at the 50-50 JV facility in the US. The new fuel cell systems are expected to be “one-third less expensive to make,” when compared with the 2019 Honda Clarity fuel cell.
