Furthermore, both companies are jointly evaluating further possibilities for market entries in stationary applications. The partnership reflects a shared ambition to scale the technology and make it accessible to a broader set of customers, particularly in emerging, high-growth markets such as China and in the global power generation sector.
Bosch acquires IP rights to adapt PowerCell’s S3 stack for the Chinese market
To meet the rapidly growing demand for high-performance fuel cell stacks in China, Bosch has acquired extended use rights for its China-based stack development for the automotive market. Valued at approximately €6 million, the agreement will enable Bosch to further stack adaption not only to local requirements but also to a global perspective. Financial consequences for PowerCell of the new agreement will be reflected in the 2Q25 interim report.
Non-automotive Chinese market to be seen as joint growth potential
Under the new framework, PowerCell will open access to Bosch for selected non-automotive customers in China, including those in the backup power, construction, and industrial mobility sectors. These segments are rapidly electrifying and require robust, high-efficiency solutions. Bosch’s footprint and capacity to industrialise, paired with PowerCell’s advanced technology, can accelerate the market penetration of fuel cell systems in these adjacent sectors.
“We are happy to continue to build on this very strong industrial collaboration,” said Richard Berkling, CEO of PowerCell Group. “This agreement reinforces the collaboration and with our combined expertise, we excel at bridging the gap between technological platforms and customer reality, making fuel cells work in sectors where performance and reliability are non-negotiable.”
