About Nuvera
Mission
Nuvera, a fuel cell pioneer with a unique perspective, is powering widespread fuel cell vehicle adoption.
We manufacture heavy-duty, zero-emission fuel cell engines for motive and stationary applications. With teams located in the US, Europe, and Asia, Nuvera provides advanced industrial power products designed to meet rigorous commercial requirements.
Why Nuvera?
- A passion for exceeding expectations.
- Leadership in fuel cell efficiency and power density.
- Attractive cost of ownership.

Experience
The solutions that Nuvera builds for today’s growing hydrogen economy — for demanding markets such as industrial motive power — are the result of the proven experience in the fuel cell power and hydrogen supply industry that Nuvera has to offer.
Innovation and Value
Nuvera has created key technologies across the entire hydrogen value chain – generation, purification, compression and fuel cell power. Enabled by a diversified patent portfolio, Nuvera is positioned to innovate with a growing market — minimizing risk in technology investment and offering a solid range of solutions.
Pivotal Involvement in the Industry
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), the Federal Transportation Administration (FTA), the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD), Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), and Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC) have awarded pivotal projects in the development and demonstration of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies to Nuvera based on the expertise and assurance for success that the engineers, world-class labs and production capabilities at our Massachusetts-based U.S. facility bring to fuel cell power and hydrogen supply innovations.
Codes and Standards Development
Product development and innovation, customer site implementation, and service training all benefit from Nuvera’s codes and standards experience, particularly in the area of fuel cell-powered industrial trucks. By invitation of key codes and standards organizations, Nuvera engineers have participated on and lead technical committees in the development of hydrogen-related codes and standards, including CSA standards for dispensing equipment for hydrogen-powered industrial trucks, ISO involvement respective to hydrogen fueling stations, and NFPA participation respective to the hydrogen technology code.
