Enquiries: Proton Power Systems plc +49 (0) 89-1276265-0 Felix Heidelberg Noble & Company Limited +44 (0) 20 7763 2200 John Llewellyn-Lloyd Graeme Bayley Notes to Editors PPS, through its subsidiary Proton Motor Fuel Cell GmbH ("PM"), has developedand produced a standard fuel cell module, fuelled by hydrogen integrated with anenergy storage system to create a hybrid electric fuel cell system capable ofproviding power during peak demand situations. The market focus is on industrialapplications where 'back-to-base' refueling occurs, on site, at the end of eachshift or work period. The Group has identified opportunities to replace batteries with their PEM fuelcell systems and has identified niche markets in the materials handling andmass-transportation sectors where hybrid electric fuel cell systems offerconsiderable advantages over conventional engine technology and fuel cell onlydrive systems. The Group has identified two initial market segments in which theDirectors believe the advantages of hybrid electric fuel cell systems will leadto economic benefits for the end user - forklift trucks and buses. In mostcases, these vehicles operate within a defined radius or return to centralpoints of operation. The many advantages over current commercial alternatives include lower fuelconsumption, longer periods between refueling, shorter refueling, consistentlevels of power delivery and zero harmful emissions. PM's technology development has been undertaken with the key objectives ofmultiple applications and volume production. PPS was admitted to trading on AIM on October 31, 2006.
