Optimum product and service quality
TRONICO is both a partner and a promoter of innovative collaborative projects in France, Europe and internationally.
In particular, it has worked with French specialists in hydrogen technologies to put together a complete electro-hydrogen offering. This involved working together to define the green energy contract, the local production of hydrogen by electrolysis and the components for the vehicles. TRONICO dealt more specifically with the ‘energy conversion’ part of the HyTrac project. The aim of this project is to develop a high-power (100-300 kW) hydrogen powertrain for heavy-duty vehicles.
The company has also taken part in the ROAD collaborative project. The aim of this project is to make multi-domain improvements to refrigerated trailers. TRONICO’s mission was to develop the functions linked to on-board energy autonomy.
