Liebherr-Aerospace Toulouse is proud to be part of this project since the end of 2020 by providing a 25 kW / 400V double-state electric turbocharger for the 100 kW fuel cell propulsion system of the vehicle. Due to the project’s ambitious accelerated schedule, it was crucial to select a partner that could deliver efficient collaboration to ensure its success - “Liebherr has provided excellent technical and proactive support which has met not only the technical requirements of the project, but also the aggressive timescales”, said Dr Bernadette Longridge, Engineering Centre Manager, AVL Powertrain UK Ltd.

This successful collaboration represents a further step in the product diversification strategy of Liebherr-Aerospace Toulouse. It strengthens Liebherr’s presence in the automotive industry and allows the company to develop its expertise in electrically powered turbochargers for other applications such as maritime and rail applications.
