Phoenix Motor, a leader in manufacturing of electric vehicles, announced the acquisition of hydrogen fuel cell manufacturing assets, including an automated, robotic fuel cell assembly line, from Altergy Systems.
Phoenix Motor will utilize the manufacturing facility to design and produce hydrogen fuel cells to power forklifts, hybrid buses, vans and trucks, and long-range, heavy-duty trucks.
The acquired manufacturing facility, located in Folsom, CA, has the capability to produce a fuel cell every 30 seconds on its robotic fuel cell assembly line.
With the ability to produce fuel cells in high volumes, using off-the-shelf materials, stamped and molded fabrication, and robotic automated assembly equipment, Phoenix Motorcars plans to raise production at the Folsom facility in the quarters ahead, Phoenix Motorcars CEO Lance Zhou said.
