| The
Dutch company NedStack fuel cell technology BV, partner in the recently
established company Hytruck BV, congratulates all employees and involved
partners with achieving the European Road Transport Innovation Award 2007.
This award was granted by the jury of the RAI Association to the first
Dutch distribution truck with a high-tech hydrogen/electric hybrid driveline,
being presented under the name HYTRUCK.
The HYTRUCK can be admired during
The European Road Transport Show 2007, Amsterdam Rai, West hall (hall 3),
booth number 03.003.
NedStack, producer of PEM fuel cells
and systems, has developed and manufactured a 16 kW fuel cell system for
the award winning HYTRUCK. This opens up a complete new path to environmental
friendly distribution.
The current HYTRUCK has been established
by, amongst others, financial support of the Dutch Government, embodied
by SenterNovem, agency of the Ministry of Economic Affairs.
Today NedStack will be granted the
next order of Hytruck BV for the delivery of three additional fuel cell
systems. With this statement, Hytruck BV underlines the RAI associations’
exhibition slogan “Start Future Now.
The independent company NedStack
fuel cell technology BV has been active since 1998 and has become the biggest
European producer of PEM fuel cells.
The Dutch company NedStack can be
best described as innovative and dynamic. Its ambition is to make the PEM
fuel cells and fuel cell systems cheaper, more efficient and more durable.
This is driven by its mission to replace the current polluting technology
by cleaner and more efficient alternatives.
Hydrogen as an energy carrier is
being transformed by the fuel cell into electricity. As a by-product warm
water is produced. This is an environmental friendly way of energy generation
with zero emission. By applying a fuel cell no harmful gasses such as CO2,
NOx and SOx are emitted and there is no particulate matter emitted by diesel
engines. The fuel cell itself does not produce any noise. The technology
is applicable at large scale. For instance as an alternative for the internal
combustion engine in vehicles or as a residential heater, generating not
only warm water but also electricity for use in the household.
