Frost & Sullivan Technology Innovation Award Presented to PowerCell Sweden AB PR Newswire LONDON, Nov. 6, 2012 -- Unique Powerpac APU system successfully bridges existing fuel infrastructure with hydrogen economy of the future LONDON, Nov. 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Based on its recent analysis of the fuel cell for auxiliary power unit market, Frost & Sullivan recognises PowerCell Sweden AB with the 2012 European Technology Innovation Award for its pioneering Powerpac auxiliary power unit (APU) technology. "PowerCell's Powerpac APU system successfully bridges the existing fuel infrastructure, dominated by petroleum- based fuels, and the much awaited hydrogen economy of the future," notes Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Avimanyu Basu. "The system which innovatively combines a fuel reformer and a fuel cell stack effectively addresses one of the major challenges in the trucking industry – idling." The technology is sufficiently matured to be commercialised. It also meets various environmental regulations and overcomes limitations related to the existing APUs such as noise pollution and reliability. Thus, the all-round solution provided by PowerCell meets every aspect of an ideal APU system. PowerCell's fuel cell technology is in the range of 1 to 6 kW, and uses both hydrogen and reformates gas produced in a fuel reformer.
