e-power chooses Honda Fuel Cell for hybrid hydrogen generator

• Latest collaboration for Honda's hydrogen Fuel Cell module in Europe – with e-power®, a leading international producer of energy solutions

• The next generation P-grid aimed to launch in 2026 and use hydrogen fuel cells to support with emissions reductions and peak shaving across many heavy industries – including construction, events, agriculture, and telecoms

e-power®, a leading international producer of energy solutions, has chosen Honda to collaborate on the development of a Fuel Cell-powered hybrid hydrogen generator – following a successful engine supply partnership of 30 years.

Announced at BAUMA (construction machinery and equipment) trade fair in Munich, Germany, the 'P-grid' will be the latest proof of concept for Honda's Fuel Cell module in Europe – the latter of which will be displayed at the event. The all-in-one mobile generator, aimed to launch in 2026, will be easy to transport and deploy in various locations, from construction sites to emergency power facilities, or events.

In addition, it will be possible for the P-grid on Fuel Cell to be paired with solar energy systems to further enhance sustainability, making it ideal for festivals, events, and agricultural businesses – combining zero CO2 emissions and minimizing noise pollution, all while delivering a reliable and efficient energy supply.

All powered by Honda's hydrogen Fuel Cell, a mass production solution designed to make clean energy more accessible and efficient for businesses – with the potential to bring sustainable energy and zero emissions to a variety of industries.

Ingo Nyhues, Deputy General Manager, Energy & Hydrogen Business Division, Honda Motor Europe, said: 'We are excited to be announcing our latest collaboration in Europe for our Fuel Cell module – further demonstrating the positive impact hydrogen power can have across a wide variety of applications. We are proud of our long-standing history working together with e-power® and are excited to take this latest move into the hydrogen era together.

'The P-grid on Fuel Cell promises to be a fantastic proof of concept for our technology, bringing clean, reliable energy to a variety of heavy industries – particularly within construction. We look forward to seeing the positive impact this product can have going forward.'

Established in 1990 with expertise in electrical systems, fuel cells, and batteries, e-power® tackles technical challenges across sectors including telecoms, railroad, fire departments and construction companies, helping to create custom-built sustainable machines.

The P-grid on Fuel Cell and its collaboration with Honda is the latest example of e-power's® use of hydrogen energy, following the deployment of the first 250kVA hydrogen dual fuel generator in 2021.

Kurt Van Dal, Owner/CEO, e-power®, said: 'Our collaboration with Honda enables us to implement hydrogen technology in hybrid energy systems. With the P-grid powered by Honda's Fuel Cell module, we make emission-free power supply and minimal noise pollution possible, ideal for sectors with strict sustainability goals. We look forward to embracing this technology as a future-ready company starting in 2026.'
