Regarding the use of the word it looks like in all examples it is meaning âto bring togetherâ - thatâs the way Iâd be reading it anyway. That would support the theory Haggis put forward.
Personally I donât believe âAnythingâ AB says anymore as Iâve heard it ALL before.
Until we have a decent sale order I wonât read into any statements using the well know phrases he loves to use. Especially âcommercialisationâ. Makes me gag.
The phrase is that you wait for ages for a bus and then two turn up at once. If however we are talking about consolidated buses we may end up with a coach instead.
Heath,
Re whatâs that phrase about waiting for a bus?
As long as its an EV or hydrogen powered bus using AFC fuel cells of course, the more the better.
not to put a dampner on things but could he mean improve he is an aussie after all
He/they seem to like the word! Might be more useful to us if he/they chose words that are not so ambiguous!
Great work Alpaca, a nice consolidation of the historical failings.
I would be surprised if these deployments mentioned were customer orders based on previous history, they were talking about having reference sites so I think this is more likely, not selling the systems but agreements to site an AFC charger either free of charge or on loan maybe ? If there was any sniff of an order weâd have been told.
I've consolidated some historical references where 'consolidate' was used by AB/AFC:
2017 after 6m placement
"This investment signifies confidence in the business and its strategy, further demonstrating the material technical and commercial progress AFC Energy is making, together with the pipeline of projects we continue to progress and hope to consolidate throughout the course of 2017"
Quarterly Newsletter - September 2017
I trust you can sense the important progress made by the Company and its partners over the past quarter as we continue to consolidate efforts towards a commercial fuel cell stack by the end of the calendar year. I hope this newsletter provides an overview of these developments and their importance to the success of our commercialisation programme.
Jan 2018 - AFC Energy Plc Quarterly Newsletter
With a technology platform well advanced, exciting new developments being made with our technology partners, new and emerging deployment opportunities in collaboration with third party technologies and innovations ready to consolidate, with ÂŁ5.8 million in the bank at the end of 2017 and over ÂŁ1 million in cash receipts due from EU grant-funded projects and UK R&D tax credits in the first half of 2018, I am extremely optimistic and excited about the prospects for a successful 2018.â
richlist,
That crossed my mind, but why use the word consolidate when there's plenty of other words that fit better, like "convert system deployment opportunities to sales"
That's the reason I'm wondering if it's a big hint.
My bet is on the 'secure' option as in sign a sales contract...
We were hoping for one order and it sounds like weâll get multiple ones - whatâs that phrase about waiting for a bus?
" ...to consolidate system deployment opportunities..."
Well spotted haggis. That certainly sounds as if they want to establish a system for delivery to several customers rather than doing it piecemeal. That would seem likely to involve sub-contracting or outsourcing, so perhaps we'll hear more about this in the near future.
Maybe the hint is that we have so many potential orders that they can be combined into one big outsourced manufacturing contract, gaining us instant economy of scale over assembly at Dunsfold?
The word consolidate has different meanings, so I wonder if this a hint at something?
The CEO Blog says "Several prospective customers travelled to Scotland especially to meet AFC Energy and witness the operation of our EV charger in real time.
Since the launch of our H-PowerTM EV charger three months ago, weâve seen over 500 people visit the operation of the charger, in addition to the significant number of commercial enquiries received through phone calls and email from the UK and overseas.
Our focus however remains on working with several enquiries from the UK to consolidate system deployment opportunities, many of which have arisen over the period of the Roadshow."
