Hypermotive Ltd. unveiled the X-M1, a platform for hydrogen fuel cell-based power generation tailored to marine applications. Developed in collaboration with Honda, and underpinned by Hypermotive’s SYSTEM-X technology, X-M1 is a scalable, modular, hydrogen fuel cell power system that makes clean energy transition more accessible and achievable for maritime operators.
X-M1 is designed to bring sustainable energy and reliable performance to a variety of newbuild and existing vessels, including cruise ships, ferries, workboats, motor yachts and more.
Engineered by Hypermotive and powered by Honda, this collaboration marks the first proof of concept for Honda’s latest hydrogen fuel cell system in Europe. The compact yet powerful system has been designed to offer durability and versatility across a variety of uses, including fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV), commercial vehicles, construction machinery, and in stationary power generators.
Designed to withstand the demanding and unpredictable conditions of maritime operations, Hypermotive’s X-M1 is ready for adoption across vessels of a wide range of duties and tonnage.
Its versatile approach seamlessly integrates with existing ship components, and its modular design promises greater flexibility for those new to hydrogen transition, with simple installation, maintenance and upgrade options.
X-M1 operates on a secure platform to ensure cybersecurity compliance, with advanced technology monitoring safety, reducing risk, and optimizing system efficiency and lifetime while maintaining consistent delivery of required power output.
X-M1 is built on Hypermotive’s SYSTEM-X technology, a combination of hardware and software products that accelerate the implementation of optimized hydrogen power systems using fuel cells, compressed gas storage and the connectivity of those power systems to their applications and the cloud.
The X-M1 is currently in development, with a view to bring it to market in the near future through a joint engineering process with Honda. Proof of concept (PoC) trials are planned for 2025.
Transitioning to the X-M1 hydrogen solution requires installation of the system on the vessel, with a customized assessment to enable cross-functionality with existing systems and engineering.
