[더구루=오소영 기자] Germany’s Bosch will spend more than $ 200 million (about 275 billion received) in South Carolina, the United States, to start off creating “stacks,” a key component of hydrogen gas cells. Collection generation will begin in 2026 and will be installed on significant vans in Nikola, United States.
Bosch declared on March 31 (community time) that it will make investments extra than $ 200 million to expand its Anderson, South Carolina plant to generate weighty truck batteries.
The new plant has a floor area of 147,000 ft² (approximately 13,656 m²) and collection production will commence in 2026. Bosch expects to generate 350 employment with the investment.
Batteries made by Bosch are provided to Nikola. Nikola is screening a truck equipped with a Bosch stack. A short while ago, he done a take a look at push with Anheuser-Busch InBev, the largest beer business in the planet. It has traveled above 12,000 miles and carried 2 million lbs . of cargo. He is also partnering with US transportation business Whole Transportation Products and services for screening. Nikola has dedicated to supplying 100 vehicles to the enterprise by 2023.
With an financial commitment in South Carolina, Bosch strengthens its partnership with Nikola and enters the hydrogen gas cell marketplace.
In keeping with the worldwide development in direction of decarbonisation, hydrogen cars and trucks are attracting awareness as future mobility. As a final result, the gas cell current market is envisioned to develop rapidly. The Overseas Financial Exploration Institute has predicted that the gasoline cell current market will develop at an average annual amount of 30% from 2.2 trillion gained in 2018 to around 50 trillion received in 2030.
Bosch is concentrating on gas cells as future foods and stepping up investments. Bosch has declared that it will invest far more than € 1 billion on gas cell technological know-how by 2024. In collaboration with the Swedish electrical power cell and stack growth, it has promoted gas cell research with Ceres Energy of the United Kingdom, which has good oxide gasoline mobile (SOFC) know-how.
