IAA 2024: Donaldson to showcase Alternative Power solutions for future-focused commercial transport

Donaldson at IAA 2024 is showing a range of Alternative Power technologies for hydrogen fuel cell and battery electric vehicle applications, plus showcase solutions for alternative fuel-powered internal combustion engines. The company’s products on show at the Hannover exhibition are all designed to help OEMs in their quest to deliver the safe, sustainable transport solutions of tomorrow.

This year’s IAA Transportation exhibition in Hannover, Germany, takes place under the banner of ‘pioneers of transformation’ and Donaldson Company will be among those showcasing its future-focused technologies. Donaldson’s legacy of quality and innovation is built on more than a century of experience in solving the industrial sector’s most complex challenges. As hydrogen fuel cells and battery-electric systems become increasingly complex, the company’s experience will be vital in delivering advanced contamination control solutions to maximize their efficiency.

Key highlights of Donaldson’s showcase at IAA Transportation 2024 will include:

  • Alternative Power filtration systems
  • Innovations in non-diesel fuel filtration technologies aimed at enhancing operational efficiency and longevity
  • Venting solutions that support customers in their environmental commitments and compliance with regulations.

Having worked with fuel cell manufacturers for over 25 years, Donaldson is one of the few suppliers able to tailor precision-engineered ePTFE membrane support options for each specific application. Providing critical structural support to a fuel cell’s proton exchange membrane (PEM), these reduce mechanical stress and breakdowns of the ionomer, which swells and contracts in response to changing humidity levels. By enabling the creation of thinner, more durable and efficient structures, ePTFE skeletons help maintain higher current density and can therefore reduce the number of cells required in a stack.

“The transportation industry is rapidly evolving so it’s vital OEMs have access to the most advanced components and technologies to streamline their delivery of safe, sustainable solutions,” said Keith Bechtum, Vice President of OEM Sales, Donaldson. “Our presence at IAA Transportation 2024 reflects our dedication to delivering superior filtration solutions that not only meet current industry needs but also anticipate future challenges. We are eager to help visitors experience firsthand how Donaldson’s cutting-edge technologies continue to set new benchmarks in reliability, efficiency and durability.”
