GM Defense Revolutionizing Military Mobility with Fuel Cells

GM Defense, the defense arm of General Motors, is driving a revolution in military mobility through fuel cell technology. With more than 50 years of expertise in this field, the company provides innovative, sustainable and scalable solutions for global defense and government customers.

GM Defense’s Fuel Cell Power Cube (FCPC), a compact and versatile power solution, represents a significant advancement. Powered by GM’s HYDROTEC technology, the FCPC emerges as an innovative alternative to conventional diesel generators. Its main advantage lies in its high power (100 kW peak) combined with reduced heat and noise emissions, making it quieter and less detectable.

The FCPC offers a number of additional benefits:

Mobility: Easy to transport and set up in less than 30 minutes, ideal for tactical operations.

Autonomy: Capable of refueling with two types of fuel, ensuring continuous operation over extended missions.

Compatible with existing infrastructure: Enables fast charging of electric vehicles, accelerating the adoption of electric mobility in military environments.

The FCPC demonstrates its potential in the electrification of military vehicles, such as the eISV (All-Electric Military Concept Vehicle). In addition, it can be used as a power source for other equipment and critical missions, such as off-grid charging stations and field operations.

With the FCPC, GM Defense demonstrates its commitment to sustainability, highlighting the advantages of fuel cell technology, such as zero pollutant emissions, fast refilling and low maintenance costs. GM Defense is paving the way for a new era in military mobility, where fuel cell technology plays a crucial role in optimizing the efficiency, safety and sustainability of defense operations.
