Protonex PARTNERS WITH UltraCell
28 Jul 09. Protonex Technology Corporation has partnered with UltraCell Corporation, a producer of portable fuel cell products, to cooperate in the development, marketing, demonstration, commercialization, and sale of advanced fuel cell power solutions and fuels for the U.S. Military. Under the terms of the agreement, the companies plan to focus on three distinct
types of cooperative efforts: 1) collaboration on existing military hardware, 2) development of a common fuel, and 3) joint sales and marketing efforts. On the hardware side, the companies will integrate and test power solutions using UltraCell’s XX25 and XX55 fuel cell power sources with Protonex’ Soldier Power Manager (SPM) and Battlefield Power Manager (BPM) products. Both companies will further develop and promote a new portable power plug-and-play standard for the U.S. Military. The resulting power solutions are anticipated to add significant customer advantages to deliver specific portable power capabilities that are currently unavailable to the market.
