Zebotec
and the rental boat company Fluck from Constance have successfully tested
the first electro boat for rent running on a fuel cell on Lake Constance.
The prototype delivers up to 800
W which is enough for two hours on the lake with two passengers on board.
Zebotec envisions that by next year
they will be in a position to deploy into service a boat with a stronger
fuel cell and a bigger tank. It is aniticipated that with one full
tank it will be sufficient to power the boat for several days.
In the meantime, the tanks are filled
from pressure cylinders by the rental company Fluck. Future enhancements
will allow such boats to have a choice of strategically located hydrogen
filling stations.
Zebotec cooperates with the Swiss
AccaGen in the electrolyser field and is developing such plans for the
Lake Constance region.
