RHM Rheinmetall AG

By Olivia Bugault

Rheinmetall AG said Tuesday that it will supply hydrogen recirculation blowers to Daimler Truck Fuel Cell GmbH for a sales volume in the two-digit-million-euro range.

The order will be handled by Pierburg GmbH, a subsidiary of the German automotive-and-defense company, it said.

"The prime task of the components ordered is to recycle hydrogen not used in the fuel-cell reaction back to the stack," Rheinmetall said. "This way, the blowers enhance the efficiency of the fuel cells while extending their service life," the company said.
