The Company has been granted numerous innovation awards. SFC is the first company to successfully market fully commercialized fuel cell products as mobile off-grid power supplies. SFC cooperates with leading companies in a number of different industries.

Successful technology cooperation between Hymer and SFC

Bad Waldsee, July 7, 2005 – Europe’s leading motorhome manufacturer, Hymer AG, Bad Waldsee, Germany, announces the standard integration of a fuel cell for providing an autonomous energy supply into their Hymermobile S-Class. The fuel cell used is the SFC A50 by SFC Smart Fuel Cell AG, Brunnthal, Germany. This public world premiere is the result of a three-year cooperation between Hymer and SFC.
Starting September 2005, the SFC A50 will be integrated as standard equipment in the S-Class, Hymer’s premium line, to ensure full mains independence. Even in the winter half of the year, the fuel cell provides unlimited independence, while eliminating unpleasant noise and exhaust fumes. “This unique selling proposition clearly creates additional value for the S-Class”, says Hans-Juergen Burkert, Chief Sales & Finance Officer at Hymer AG. For the B-Class and the B-StarLine Hymer offers the SFC A50 as optional equipment ex works.
In the framework of the development much effort was made to optimize costs of the fuel cell and the associated fuel cartridges. “Having achieved a breakthrough in technological development we are pleased to now offer the SFC A50 for only EUR 2,999.- “, says Pieter Bots, Chief Sales & Marketing Officer at SFC Smart Fuel Cell AG. „The unique combination of being environmentally friendly, highly reliable and providing ultimate comfort makes this device the predestined source of energy for mobile leisure applications“, he continues.
The SFC A50 is fuelled by liquid methanol, which is supplied from 5 l fuel cartridges. Thanks to an integrated charge control the device automatically recharges the battery of the motor home. Whenever the battery voltage decreases below 12.5 V that device is automatically switched on to recharge the batteries. Depending on individual consumption the SFC A50 supplies up to 100 Ah into the consumer batteries. With a single fuel cartridge the SFC A50 provides between five to ten days of complete mains independence, depending on the season and individual consumption. The fuel cartridge price, too, has been considerably reduced to now only EUR 19.90 per cartridge.
Hymer is the world’s first manufacturer of motorhomes to offer fuel cells as standard equipment. „With the introduction of this revolutionary technology we have again demonstrated our technological leadership“, says Burkert and stresses that Hymer has always put a strong focus on using innovative and environmentally friendly technologies. And he announces: “On Caravan Salon Duesseldorf we will offer the SFC A50 at a special promotion price of EUR 1,999.- in combination with any new motorhome purchase.

SFC to develop portable fuel cells for German Federal Army

Brunnthal, August 03, 2005 SFC Smart Fuel Cell AG, the worlds leading manufacturer of fuel cells for mobile use, today announced a cooperation programme with the German Federal Armys Military Vehicle and Tank Technology Department WTD 41. Under this programme, SFC is to develop a next generation portable fuel cell as power supply for soldiers in the field. The objective is to increase their tactical operating range. As a result of the programme, weight and size of a soldiers equipment will be significantly reduced compared to existing, battery based solutions, while at the same time increasing the amount of available electrical energy.
Soldiers today must carry a weight of up to 40 kg (88 pounds) in mission relevant equipment, in some cases even more. This weight is mainly caused by electrical devices, e.g. communication systems or sensors and the batteries required running them. Also, the number of electrical devices needing electrical energy is continuously growing.
This situation dramatically increases the need for a significantly smaller, lighter and more economical mobile power source. Realizing this objective is the main focus of the development programme.
SFCs current solution, the SFC C20, already offers a significant improvement over even the most advanced and much more expensive batteries, as a weight comparison of alternative power supply solutions for a typical three day mission, needing an average of 20 watts of electrical power, shows:
In case of rechargeable, secondary batteries, a soldier typically has to carry 12.6 kg (27.8 pounds) of battery weight. Much more expensive primary batteries that have to be thrown away after usage, still weigh a substantial 9.3 kg. (20.5 pounds). Todays SFC C20 however, weighs in at only 3.3 kg. (7.3 pounds), including the fuel.
This comparison clearly shows the already impressive weight savings the current model, the SFC C20, has to offer.
Under the programme, the weight of the new DMFC product, SFCs C20-II, will again be significantly reduced to an extremely low 2.2 kg (4.9 pounds). Thus reducing the soldiers weight burden to approximately one sixth of the weight of rechargeable batteries and to one fourth of the weight of primary batteries!
In addition, the new product will benefit from SFCs class leading competence in the areas of design, silent and vibration-free operation and reliability, much like SFCs line of commercial fuel cells.
The product will also contribute to a considerable reduction of operating and logistic costs, as the cost of consumables is extremely low compared with batteries. Furthermore, the fuel cell will eliminate the need to discard partially discharged batteries as well as minimize transportation and logistics costs. The new product will work reliably even at very high or low ambient temperatures and will be robust, shock resistant, and waterproof.
As a result of the programme, the new generation SFC C20-II will be used with existing equipment and become the standard power supply for the soldier of the future. E.g. in the IdZ Infantryman of the Future (Infanterist der Zukunft) project of the German Federal Army. The SFC C20-II is able to either directly feed electrical devices or to recharge secondary batteries. The development of the new product is expected to be finalized by the end of this year. The German Federal Army will do lab and field testing of the product in real operating conditions and compare the results with battery based solutions. The objective is to make the fuel cell fully ready for use by the army as soon as possible.
