New Order

Follow up Order from Fincantieri

Proton Motor Power Systems plc (AIM: PPS), the designer, developer and producer of fuel cells and fuel cell electric hybrid systems with a zero-carbon footprint, announces that, following the order received in December 2019, it has received a further order from Fincantieri, one of the world's largest shipbuilding groups, to deliver a fuel cell system with 144 kW fuel cell power to be installed into Fincantieri's first 25 m long demonstrator and testing vessel, called "Zeus", which will be exclusively powered by Proton Motor's fuel cell system.

This order follows the first order announced on 2 December 2019. Proton Motor has been selected via Fincantieri's test and validation processes against other fuel cell system providers, which were also evaluated.

Dr. Nahab, CEO of Proton, commented: "This is excellent news, with Proton having been the world's first fuel cell system provider that has powered a ferry in Hamburg for 6 years between 2009 and 2014 with a 50 kW fuel cell system, it is a great achievement to receive a follow up order from Fincantieri at the ship building stage."
