- Vites GmbH’s integrated Vikomobil provides reliable broadband communication in disaster control and public safety applications
- EFOY Pro fuel cell onboard features power autonomy for many days, with no user intervention
SFC Energy AG (F3C:DE, ISIN: DE0007568578), a leading provider of hybrid power solutions to the stationary and mobile power generation markets, announces the integration of their EFOY Pro fuel cells in the new Vikomobil of Vites GmbH, Ottobrunn, Germany. The fuel cells deliver intervention-free off-grid power and long autonomy to the communication systems on the trailer.
Vikomobil is a mobile network communication vehicle trailer for government and public safety organizations. In large-scale emergency scenarios or during major events, the system provides integrated solutions for mobile broadband communication between operation site and control center. Vites realized the project with the support of SFC Energy and other cooperation partners.
On the trailer, the EFOY Pro fuel cell ensures a reliable power supply to all security and surveillance devices on board, 24/7 and in any weather. The integrated 500 W EFOY Pro 12000 Duo fuel cell, with two 28 l fuel cartridges (M28), is fully automatic, silent, emission-free and almost undetectable in operation. With the fuel cell, Vikomobil is immediately ready for use anywhere, anytime.
“The number of EFOY Pro fuel cells operating off-grid autonomous security and surveillance applications is growing rapidly,” says Dr. Peter Podesser, CEO of SFC Energy. “As sole power source or in hybrid operation with solar modules, the fuel cell features ultimate flexibility, autonomy and reliability for an interruption-free power supply away from the grid.”
