GenCell Inc., the US subsidiary of GenCell, and Advanced Parking Technologies (APT) have entered into a teaming agreement to showcase the GenCell EVOX system as a resilient, grid-optional electric vehicle (EV) charging solution for automotive yard management.
Following successful commissioning at the Michigan Technical Resource Park (MITRP), the companies will conduct live demonstrations for automotive OEMs and logistics providers.
EVOX integrates hydrogen fuel cells, battery storage, power conversion technology, and proprietary EMS software into one system. The architecture balances fuel cell output with stored battery energy and grid input when available, enabling high-capacity dc fast charging in locations where the grid alone cannot meet demand.
For EV engineers, this hybrid design ensures stable, scalable charging capacity while maintaining system resilience and safety. In yard operations, EVOX supports simultaneous charging of large EV fleets, helping OEMs and logistics providers reduce bottlenecks, cut shuttle movements, and maintain vehicle readiness. Demonstrations have shown throughput improvements of roughly 70%, confirming that EVOX can deliver charging continuity under variable demand without costly grid upgrades.
By leveraging hydrogen fuel cells, EVOX provides zero-emission operation at point of use and can be linked to green hydrogen supply chains. Unlike diesel generators traditionally used for backup, EVOX eliminates particulate and NOx emissions, which is critical in dense yard environments.
Proprietary EMS software manages load forecasting, fault detection, and system optimization, ensuring safe operation while reducing hydrogen consumption.
The results highlight EVOX’s role in bridging the “last-mile power gap” for EV fleets and logistics. While yard management is the first application, the same technology has potential in temporary charging hubs, remote fleet depots, and backup power for EV fast-charging stations.
