 Advanced Powertrain Research Facility test cell

BMW found Argonne's Advanced Powertrain Research Facility (APRF) to be the only public test facility in North America capable of testing hydrogen vehicles at these low emissions levels. Specialized equipment at the APRF includes a full-dilution emissions sampling system with a water as well as hydrogen analyzer. The test cell is equipped with an integrated hydrogen warning and ventilation system. Download the high-resolution image »

Argonne mechanical engineer Thomas Wallner (right) and Wolfgang Thiel of the BMW Group, review data from emissions tests conducted on the BMW Hydrogen 7 Mono-Fuel demonstration vehicle. Wallner leads Argonne’s hydrogen vehicle testing activities. Test results showed that the car's hydrogen-powered engine surpasses the super-ultra low-emission vehicle (SULEV) level, the most stringent emissions performance standard to date.
