Yes cheeky really, solid sales, not MOU or “sale and development” ? An example is the unit used for extreme E, every man and his dog saw it on telly, even royalty had a snoop, it was made out to be game changing tech in a transformational year for afc, but still nothing, nothing what so ever! If someone came in and said that’s great tech I want 50 units, that would be a solid sale IMO. Because that’s what it is going to take, like bond once said “ I could sell one unit now but we are not looking for that kind of purchaser. Muilti system orders I think where his exact words.
No solid sales ? Really? Ha ha
Fair play cheeky but we have been partners with ABb and extreme E for well over a year now and still no solid sales. Any other sales team would be fired
From the half year report. DYOR.
Our commercial strategy is predicated on entering world class partnerships and collaborations with key global companies to extend our footprint and to generate significant future sales. Our route to market is largely through these strategic collaborations, which have the potential to secure large multi-system sales to meet their customer demands for zero emission power generation.
The work we have completed in recent months in securing our initial distribution partners is key to the successful execution of our strategy and to date, we remain confident that this is the correct strategy to be taking forward. This includes working with these partners to further grow our commercial pipeline and in the case of ABB and ACCIONA, we will deploy systems to their sites in Europe this year to showcase the operability of our fuel cell system.
Unlike acciona, the expectation for jullich is for the system to be completed and not delivered.
Let’s see what happens.
Our sales team are our partners, John.
Half shell that’s not a good appointment in my opinion, design being the problem!! We need sales men /women !!! not design engineers .
Bumble I just got that impression from your post at 1400 hrs today, talking of how the last 2 years have been different… Also with you being so bullish W it h AFC, I would Hope you think it’s next year .. Which also means the last 2 years have not really been transformational in a commercial sense like it was expressed, more of RnD of the S series. And also if you look at the RNS it’s worded very cleverly, instead of mentioning RND they now label it “ SALE and development, ( maybe a bit desperate?? Just asking) if this was such ground breaking tech would it not just be plain and simple that it was a SALE and we are selling lots for of them because they are very good??
Totally agree iWant, ZeroCoaster is a prime example of one of those 50 qualified enquiries. Back in the summer, you start to easily understand how forecasting anything like that could materially overstate or understate revenue when they were working towards a maritime standard AiP. Now that’s been granted and VARD have a commercially-realisable AFC-powered boat to sell, we’ll see those numbers stated in due course.
Important to point that out Halfshell.this board is blinded by fear and impatience,disruptive technology has numerous hurdles to overcome and AFC recruiting like this is very promising.I look at this site twice weekly,any more would wreck my head.maybe some on here should take that onboard.good luck all....
That’s an easy one to answer. It takes 6m+ to convert sales opportunities into sales because we’re not dealing with widgets here but complex fuel cells. Look at ZeroCoaster - six months to get to this point. Some of those 50 enquiries will have been prioritised and will be going full-steam ahead but won’t be ready to announce yet. More and more announcements will start coming through in the near future. IMHO.
BB if that was pointed at me, it was because he was making bond sound like a perennial Father Christmas. Years 19/20 were good to shareholders.
If you look back over the rns how much comes to fruition? Company does seem to have turned a corner but how long do shareholders keep saying it’s coming be patient?
Bond made some strong statements and as Oggs said in his post shareholders should have some expectations met. Except aimM of course, he’s happy to wait until the end of the millennium.
We do seem to be continuing with recruitment another senior design engineer brought into the ranks recently always a good sign things are busy behind closed doors that’s about 5 new faces showing up on line recently in various positions
Bond has been saying that since 2015. It's always next year.
Fifty qualified enquiries and not one sale in nearly six months has to beg the question why?
I think it’s your confidence that is ON ONE aim as you said the share price would be 1.80 by Xmas or something is SERIOUSLY wrong. And bumble, bonds exact words (think it was a proactive interview) at the end of last year where , 2021 is a transformational year for AFC, but now you say it’s next year , again and again this seems to happen, people have A right to ask questions.
That’s where ya wrong oggs, when you have 1.6million shares like aim, you really don’t care about the half year report . Or the share price at 20P. Nothing really Ever matters because he KNOWS where this company is heading haha
Semantics, AIM. Nobody, but nobody, could possibly have read the half year report and not conclude that something was in the offing.
Adam Bond also has a track record of putting out company changing news in December ready for the new year let’s see if he can pull it out of the bag again. There is definitely plenty of news we are all waiting for.
