SFC Smart Fuel Cell AG receives major German Bundeswehr order for SFC fuel
cell products in defense applications
<pre>
- Building upon their successful cooperation the German Bundeswehr has
awarded a follow-up contract of 2.5 million Euro for extending the
range of defense applications of SFC fuel cells.
- A considerable part of this order will contribute to this year's
turnover.
- SFC fuel cells prove an efficient solution for supplying power in the
field.
</pre>
Brunnthal, November 27, 2007 - SFC Smart Fuel Cell AG, market leader in
fuel cell technologies for mobile and off-grid power applications, has been
awarded a major follow-up contract by the German Bundeswehr. The order
amounts to approx. 2.5 million Euro.
The follow-up order builds on the success of the existing cooperation
between the German Bundeswehr and SFC Smart Fuel Cell. Its purpose is to
establish the use of fuel cells as a compact portable power source for the
soldier. In addition, further fields of application are to be addressed,
e.g. the use in vehicles as a non-detectable on-board power source and the
general use as a universal autonomous energy provider in replacement of
conventional generators and batteries. In all these contexts fuel cells
offer exceptional advantages as a silent, lightweight and emission-free
power source. To add to this, the enormously high energy density of the SFC
products provides significant cost and emission reductions in the logistics
area.
An extensive SFC product qualification program is dedicated to ensuring
reliable operation under defense conditions. In this context, the use in
high altitudes and the operation in extreme climates are addressed.
With this follow-up order SFC fuel cells have again demonstrated their
superior benefits for the solution of one of today's most urgent problems
of modern defense organizations: the availability of power in the field.
The use of fuel cells allows immediate reductions of up to 80 percent of
the weight of power supplies carried by the soldier.
A significant part of this order will contribute to this year's turnover of
SFC.
