Business Wire
Protonex Technology Corporation (LSE: AIM: PTX and PTXU), a
leading provider of advanced fuel cell power systems, today
announces that it has received an incremental $1.49 million
contract award from the U.S. Army CECOM to deliver additional
advanced portable battery charger / APU fuel cell products. This
follows the US Army CECOM’s decision to exercise an option in its
original contract with the Company which was announced on 20
January 2010.
This award increases the total funded value of the overall
contract to $3.34 million and additional options remain within the
contract which, if awarded, could increase the total value of the
contract to $6.4 million.
Under the terms of this eight-month, phase two program, Protonex
is expected to deliver 30 additional portable battery charger / APU
products to the U.S. Army for field use. The M250-CX units will
include all of the next-generation improvements developed during
the phase one program, which include increased power output,
further integrated battery management and charging capabilities,
additional ruggedisation and reduced overall size and weight.
Commenting on the news, Greg Cipriano, Vice President,
Marketing & Military Development, at Protonex said:“This
additional phase two program is another important milestone for
Protonex as our M250-CX power systems move closer to deploying to
our U.S. soldiers. We are excited about delivering on our first low
volume order for the M250-CX, one of the Company’s flagship
military products.”
Protonex’ M250-CX system is a lightweight, 250-watt portable
power system designed to meet the stringent demands of a wide range
of military battery charging and auxiliary power unit applications.
The unique design combines advances in fuel cell energy conversion
and battery charging technology into one complete product solution
to provide military battery charging and 28V auxiliary power with
extremely low weight, noise, and thermal signature.
