MIT EVT Partners with Doosan Mobility to Build Hydrogen Powered Motorcycle

DMI is providing a DM15 fuel cell module that will be integrated into a motorcycle that will be designed and developed by the MIT EVT. The DM15 fuel cell is a cutting-edge technology that provides clean, efficient, and reliable power to mobile applications.

The module uses hydrogen as a fuel source and converts it into electricity, producing only water vapor as a byproduct. Assuming green hydrogen production, the technology is a promising step towards a fully zero-carbon footprint vehicle.

DMI's DM15 fuel cell module is already in use in several applications, including drones, material handling, and backup power. It offers several benefits over traditional power sources, including zero emissions, high efficiency, and low noise.

The DM15 module, in particular, is capable of providing up to 1.5 kW of power output, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, including drones, robotics, and small vehicles.

This will be the first time the fuel cell module is integrated into a motorcycle, and the project will provide a real-world testing ground for the DM15 fuel cell module, enabling DMI to gather valuable data and feedback to improve the module's performance and durability, while allowing the MIT EVT to prove that hydrogen powered vehicles can be practical, and safe.

"The DM15 module is really small, and lightweight making it ideal for integration into a vehicle like a motorcycle," says project lead and MIT student Aditya (Adi) Mehrotra. "We hope to work with DMI and their fuel cell technology to really push the boundaries of what EVs can do, and showcase the capabilities of hydrogen as an alternative fuel source."
