‹Mohrdieck›: To be able to use the fuel cell across other automotive segments
and in large volumes in the future, we now face the task of developing our
basic module further, so that it integrates even more efficiently into our
group-wide electric modular system. This would give us maximum flexibility.
The systems could then be variably combined with different battery sizes,
allowing them to be used for any operating profile whatsoever.
