Tetrolite, greatly appreciated.

I’d also welcome any AGM news, thanks. I’m curious to know the measurements of the Flower Power Tower.

Could also be for manual lifts and pallets.

Forklift holes seems about right if you need to load more than one unit at a time. The bottom section wouldn’t need to be protected in packaging. We’re talking multiples of units with this and it would make loading far easier. Not sure about the size but I guess the controls would be around waist height.
I’m quite excited by this and further iterations as it’s the first time I’ve seen one of our chargers seemingly comparable to a diesel gen. This might not bring in the same money as maritime and data centres, but it’s the product for real world masses……I hope.

Surely a UK hire company announcement is on the cards?

IMO this is what Altaaqa have been waiting for.

This is the product to compete with a generator. An actual generator sized (hopefully) generator. Rough cost of a diesel/biofuel equivalent is around £5k.

Once a few building sector companies have successfully tested the system, AFC will be in a position to decline a trial request from others. If a trial for data centres and EV charging passes muster with ABB, I see no need for anyone to trial in those sectors.

SonofaGun, I’m still not entirely sure what a ‘qualified enquiry’ is.

I won’t be going, but I ‘expect’ quite a few might attend. I hear they’ve received over ‘fifty qualified enquiries’. Fingers crossed for you all that they have enough coffee due to the ‘multiple order potential.’
Only messing :)

12= 2.5 to 4p
24= Anything up to 10p
24 to 60= Share consolidation

No Ade; we’re not small minded, it’s just that you’re useless, ill informed, cr4p talking, Walter Mitty wannabe tosspot. Absolute c*ck.

Not sure why todays RNS is viewed as disappointing. I view the AFC systems as EV’s (but obviously fewer knocking about atm). I wouldn’t buy a car without taking it for a test drive, so why would a developer take a charger without doing likewise. There aren’t many out there so it stands to reason they’ll want to field test it for themselves until ordering one becomes the norm. It’s had a good workout around the globe but hasn’t been let loose on a building site. It’ll work fine, or it won’t. Either way you’ll no doubt find out pretty quickly.

Seg, just had my second coffee which tasted much better with an RNS. Now off out with the dog. Happy Monday!

We know they are talking, or have talked with the organisers. From memory the AFC engineer mentioned festival organisers, but in a different interview one of the ExE peeps states ‘I know they’ve been talking to Glastonbury’ or words very close to those. Clearly AFC had been chatting to ExE at some point and let slip. Whether anything comes of it, who knows.

Alt, going back to Urban-air port for a sec. During the event the public can have a guided tour and a full size passenger carrying ‘model’ will be on site but not flying. Cargo drones will be taking off, but whether they’re delivering or not isn’t clear. I’m not sure what happens to the police drones which are using the facility because after the event there’s a six week dismantling period. It’s possible that something could be left behind for the police, but that’s unlikely as drone pilots are generally deployed to the scene of an incident and not from a fixed location. Thought I’d better give you the correct info as it was a few weeks ago that I watched the vid.

Alt, I read a few pieces online which stated that it’ll be a fully functional port with taxis on site but they won’t be flying or carrying passengers. The whole thing will then be taken down afterwards and presumably used elsewhere for other demos. The bulk of my info has come from the urban air website.

Alt, no passenger carrying or flying. Police drones only.

Zeus note doesn’t say much. They expect to adjust their outlook slightly but it doesn’t say which way. Skim read but it’s ok and no dramas.

Mucksy, the June date is from Zeus, not AFC.
Either way it shows that despite the doom mongers in here questioning the Acciona involvement, it wasn’t shelved. No drama.
