Swedish fuel cell technology developer PowerCell Group (PowerCell) has announced that it has received a follow-up order from a leading European aerospace research institute.
The order, valued at SEK 12 million (≈ EUR 1.1 million), comprises four 100 kW fuel-cell systems engineered as modular units to be operated in series as part of an advanced test and validation platform for next-generation aviation propulsion.
Delivery for the unnamed aerospace institute is planned for the first half of 2026.
This repeat order confirms both the strength of our collaboration in aviation and the position PowerCell has established in this highly demanding segment. As some of our customers progress toward certification and commercial readiness, the surrounding ecosystem is accelerating investments to de-risk, validate, and prepare for the introduction of hydrogen and fuel-cell propulsion in aviation, said Richard Berkling, CEO of PowerCell Group.
The new order supports the customer’s next development phase by enabling system-level validation under realistic aviation conditions, using a modular architecture that can be scaled for future propulsion concepts.
Aviation remains one of PowerCell’s strategic segments, where fuel-cell technology can address long-range and high-performance mission profiles beyond the capability of battery-electric solutions.
PowerCell continues to work with advanced research institutes, established aerospace manufacturers, and emerging pioneers across applications ranging from hybrid-electric aircraft to fully fuel-cell-electric propulsion platforms.
