Launch of the OBI-1 project to develop innovative bipolar plates

mars 02, 2025

Design, Research and Development / Design

Hutchinson, winner of the France 2030 ‘Hydrogen technology brick’ call for projects operated by ADEME, is launching the OBI-1 project to develop economical, high-performance bipolar plates for fuel cells.


Led by the Precision Sealing Systems activity and the Innovation & Research Center, this 43-months project aims to develop composite and metal plates with optimized sealing systems, which are essential for the efficiency and cost of fuel cells. The teams will focus on research into new materials, assembly technologies, and associated sealing systems, while improving transverse conductivity, enhancing corrosion resistance, and perfecting elastomeric sealing with low chemical release.

By 2028, Hutchinson will be able to offer bipolar plate solutions with integrated sealing systems:

  • Increased compactness to create smaller stacks or generate more power for the same footprint, improved functional performance and simplified stack assembly.
  • Large-scale production in France to maintain French leadership in H2 technology.

NVH encapsulation solution for Electric vehicles

octobre 07, 2024

Hammer mill

Hutchinson has designed an innovative solution attenuating the sound vibrations emitted by E-compressors and E-Motors.

Our multi-material solution offers an excellent combination of vibration attenuation and absorption, especially in high frequencies (>1000 Hz) which is the range of E-Modules concerned.

Our Acoustic cover is thermoformed, lightweight and made of recyclable materials. It can provide rapid prototype solutions.

Numerical simulations and specific acoustic tests enable us to answer accurately to customers’ specific requirements.

Thanks to our material expertise, we improve E-compressor efficiency and the active cooling systems for E-motors with optimal thermal insulation properties.

This acoustic encapsulation solution has been validated and selected in 2023 by a major international OEM.
