PowerCell Sweden AB has received another follow-on order for MS-100 fuel cell systems from the aviation start-up ZeroAvia. The new order is worth MSEK 7.4 and is expected to be delivered during the third quarter 2021.

In March this year, ZeroAvia placed an order for PowerCell MS-100 fuel cell systems worth MSEK 5.1 and is now following it up with another order for MS-100 fuel cell systems. ZeroAvia uses the ordered PowerCell MS-100 fuel cell systems in its efforts to develop 600 kW zero emissions aircraft drivetrain for 19 seat aircraft program.

In September last year ZeroAvia conducted the world's first hydrogen electric flight of a commercial airplane. The plane, a single-engine six-seater Piper Malibu, carried out an eight-minute flight and reached an altitude of 1,000 feet and a speed of 100 knots. The plane had a hydrogen-electric powertrain where an PowerCell MS-100 fuel cell system was an integral part.
