ChippyJo, This was exactly my thought. The world is a big place and the immediate market potential for diesel generator replacement is massive. Ideal for festivals, construction sites etc. For any environmentally conscious companies trying to make an impression the fuel cell system is the closest direct replacement for diesel power in respect to its compact size and flexibility, meaning it can be moved if required.
In respect to large fleet drivers running new EV's be it large delivery vehicle or just employees company cars, the EV charger version of the H Power system is ideal, especially if it is accompanied by an electrolysers and solar to generate its own fuel to support ammonia cracking.
The world is a massiv place and AFC have demonstrated that there focus is not just the UK. 100 systems per annum may not be all that we see over the next few years and the new facility will have to grow to regional hubs.
As you say, they don't develop a facility to deliver 100 plus systems per annum and have a partnership with BK Gulf for the BoP of 100 systems plus per annum if they though they were only going to achieve sales of 1 or 2 systems. Clearly they are in advanced stage negotiations with interested parties.
