Cal State LA will host the first public unveiling of RockeTruck Inc.’s new Mobile Fuel Cell Generator (MFCG) on Wednesday, October 29, at the university’s Hydrogen Research and Fueling Facility (HRFF).
Developed by RockeTruck in collaboration with Cal State LA, the compact MFCG uses an automotive fuel cell manufactured by American Honda Motors Company, Inc. to generate electricity on a mobile platform.
The system can be used to power homes and businesses during grid power outages caused by emergencies such as wildfire, to provide electricity for large outdoor entertainment venues, and deliver standby backup power for critical facilities including hospitals and data centers.
“Cal State LA is pleased to be an academic partner on this project and host the first public demonstration of RockeTruck’s amazing new fuel cell generator,” said Cal State LA’s 2025 President’s Distinguished Professor David Blekhman, who manages the HRFF where the MFCG will be showcased.
The public event will run from 1 to 4 p.m. and will feature a live demonstration of the MFCG’s ability to deliver power for recharging devices ranging from cell phones to fast-charging electric vehicles.
