Company Information
Company's
Interests:
Hydrogenics Corporation designs and develops
proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell
systems for transportation, stationary and
portable power applications. The Company
leads in fuel cell balance-of-plant and
operating system technology and applies
this to the development and manufacture
of fuel cell power modules and fully integrated
power generators. Hydrogenics' headquarters
and R&D facility is located in Mississauga,
Ontario, Canada. The Company also has operations
in Burnaby (Greenlight Power Technologies,
Inc. British Columbia, Canada), Japan, the
United States, and Germany. Hydrogenics
is a member of the General Motors fuel cell
alliance.
Achievements
in 2002:
In 2002: We partnered with John Deere's
ePower group to design and deliver a new
configuration of our power module, HyPM-LP2,
culminating in the introduction of a fuel
cell-powered Commercial Work Vehicle;
-- we announced a contract with the Canadian
Government to lead a group of industry partners
in the development of a hybrid fuel cell
bus, which will incorporate Hydrogenics'
HyPM-LP2 power module and proprietary vehicle-to-grid
technology;
-- we announced an agreement with Dow Corning
to jointly commercialize an innovative manufacturing
process that we developed together for sealing
fuel cell stacks, electrolyzers and membrane
electrode assemblies;
-- we participated with General Motors in
the successful demonstration of our regenerative
fuel cell auxiliary power unit (APU), HyPORT-E,
in a GM hybrid-diesel truck developed for
the United States military;
-- we also delivered a HyPORT-E regenerative
APU to the U.S. military. We delivered a
fuel cell module to AeroVironment for a
specialty aerospace application;
-- we successfully demonstrated a 25 kW
HyUPS unit at a cell tower site in Northern
California, under both real and simulated
electrical black-out conditions;
-- we expanded our global reach by adding
new test equipment customers in Germany,
France, China and the Netherlands;
-- in April 2002, announced at the Hannover
Fair, we completed the acquisition of ENKAT
GmbH, a leading German fuel cell test station
manufacturer.. Subsequent to year-end, we
acquired Greenlight Power Technologies of
British Columbia, Canada, our principal
competitor in the fuel cell test business.
Consolidating the number one and number
two fuel cell test businesses into a single
company under Greenlight, we will further
our industry-leading position, combined
having an installed base of over 350 test
stations with approximately 50 leading fuel
cell developers, worldwide.
News
at HANNOVER FAIR 2003: We will report
on our progress towards Hydrogenics goals
for 2003, which are as follows
-- Become the first fuel cell company to
achieve breakeven operating cash flow
-- Partner with industry leaders to access
funding, technology and market opportunities
-- Drive cost reductions in parts, material
and labor
-- Deliver prototypes for field testing
in multiple premium power markets
-- Develop modular architecture to accommodate
a wider array of applications and power
ranges
-- Launch next generation test and diagnostic
product line
-- Expand customer base in all regions for
fuel cell test and power products.
