Official start of hydrogen fuel cell stack robot made in
Germany
Proton Power Systems plc (AIM: PPS), the designer, developer and
producer of fuel cells and fuel cell electric hybrid systems with a
zero-carbon footprint, is very pleased about the successful
inauguration of its new fuel cell stack assembly plant. The
manufacturing machine was delivered to its Munich-based subsidiary
Proton Motor Fuel Cell GmbH in early summer 2019. With the only
stack robot in Bavaria, Germany, Proton will be able to increase
production capacity up to at least 5,000 stack units per annum.
With further moderate investment, the robotic unit will be able to
produce 30,000 stack units per annum. This milestone in the
company`s more than 20-year-history is a response to the
increasingly heavy demand from industry for hydrogen fuel cells,
which is clearly reflected in Proton's current cooperation
agreements and strategic partnerships.
In a formal ceremony, attended by journalists from TV,
newspapers and special interest magazines, the Deputy Bavarian
Prime Minister and Minister of State for Economic Affairs, Regional
Development and Energy, Hubert Aiwanger, officially pressed the
button to start the hydrogen fuel stack production facility and
commented: "Hydrogen plays a key role as future technology in
coping with the shift in energy and mobility. In order to offer
fuel cells more competitively, we need mass production. Proton
Motor shows that this is already possible."
This innovative stacking installation sets a significant signal
for the company`s enhanced, forward-looking technology standard in
terms of climate-neutral power drive and energy solutions for
mobile and stationary sectors.
The manufacturing robot "made in Germany" was realised as part
of the project "Fit-4-AMandA" (Fit for Automatic Manufacturing and
Assembly) and financed by the European agency "FCH-JU" (Fuel Cells
and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking). After the opening event
international press coverage paid tribute to this new era of series
production with headlines such as:
- "Proton Motor commissions fuel cell stack production facility in Germany"
