Ballard Power Systems lebt noch (Wieder)
"Der Seeking Alpha Bericht zieht uns voll nach unten, die dummen steigen aus."
Klar, liegt nur an dieser Veröffentlichung, dass der Kurs stiegt ... !
An einige hier, die eine rosa-rote-Brille aufzuhaben scheinen:
i) ich will den Titel nicht schlecht reden
ii) aber ich warte immer noch auf eine Begründung, warum der Titel (Ballard Systems) steigen sollte. Und zwar deutlich steigen sollte. Ich rede nicht von diesen Zocker-Schwankungen der letzten Jahre. Also, warum sollte der Kurs, der über 10 Jahre mittlerweile stagniert (mit der Tendenz fallend) aufeinmal deutlich steigen?
Meine Meinung: Hier ist der Wunsch Vater des Gedankens und es werden krampfhaft jeden Tag auf's neue Artikel und Informationen aus dem www gekratzt, um das Pflänzchen weiter am Leben zu halten.Ich sehe aktuell und mittelfristig (2-3 Jahre) keine Entfaltungsmöglichkeit (im größeren Stil) für den Brenntsoffzellenmarkt.
Mercedes-Benz Expands Use of Plug Power Hydrogen Fuel Cells at Vehicle Assembly Plant in Tuscaloosa, Alabama

LATHAM, N.Y., Aug. 20, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Plug Power Inc. (Nasdaq:PLUG), a leader in providing clean, reliable energy solutions, today announced that Mercedes-Benz US International, Inc. (MBUSI) has ordered 123 additional hydrogen-based GenDrive® fuel cell units to power new forklift trucks for its material handling fleet at a logistics hub now under construction in Tuscaloosa, AL.
Last July, Mercedes purchased 72 GenDrive fuel cells for the lift truck fleet at its Tuscaloosa vehicle assembly plant. Earlier this year, construction began on a brand new $70 million, 900,000 square-foot state-of-the-art warehouse. This new facility is designed to streamline logistics operations and support the receiving, handling and sequencing of parts for M-Class and GL-Class SUVs and R-Class crossover vehicles currently in production, as well as for the successor generation of the current C-Class for the North American market beginning in 2014. It is expected that the new GenDrive-powered forklift fleet will be operational by the fourth quarter of 2013.
Plug Power's GenDrive fuel cell is designed as a drop-in replacement for lead-acid batteries. It is a more efficient, cost-effective method of providing clean energy for warehouse and distribution operations. Not only does fuel cell usage eliminate the possibility of lead and acid contamination in the workplace, it also eliminates the need for battery storage and re-charging rooms in the new logistics hub.
Compact refueling stations will be available in several locations within the facility, with hydrogen provided by Air Products (NYSE:APD). Fuel cells take only minutes to fully re-fuel, whereas batteries can take hours to reach maximum charge. In addition, fuel cells keep lift trucks running at constant speed, unlike batteries, which cause vehicles to slow as their charge runs down.
"The Mercedes-Benz plant in Tuscaloosa has experienced first-hand the value of GenDrive fuel cells to operate its forklift fleet," said Andy Marsh, CEO of Plug Power. "Success with their initial implementation has led Mercedes to broaden their commitment to sustainable energy by ordering even more GenDrive units to power the fleet in their new logistics center."
It is anticipated that the coming logistics center, which will be as large as the current vehicle assembly plant, will receive about 240 semi-trailer truck deliveries daily and the GenDrive hydrogen fuel cell-powered lift trucks will handle approximately 2.9 million automotive parts per day.

somit haben sie keinerlei Berührungsängste und können mit jedem verhandeln...
und die ganz großen Projekte werden sie selber machen...
Einfach perfekt....
bist du mitglied in der hamburger wasserstoffgesellschaft? scheint mir vom gefühl her doch ein ziemlich elitärer verein zu sein. irgendwie steckt da so ein snobistischer hanseatischer mief mit drin. mag sowas nicht unbedingt.
außerdem unterstützt die gesellschaft auch diesen ganzen schwachsinnigen gutachterwahnsinn, der in unserer gesellschaft komischerweise so in mode gekommen ist, indem sie selbst gutachten, u.a. von ernst & young, in auftrag gibt.

FUEL CELL HYBRID VEHICLE
Electric vehicle equipped with a fuel cell
Use hydrogen as a fuel and power the electric battery when it is depleted
In the 21 century, the auto fuel will be replaced by such regenerative resources as hydrogen and the power system with traditional internal combustion engine will be replaced by hybrid system and finally be replaced by fuel cell power system to realize multi-resources, electric driving and zero emission.
For the fuel cell hybrid electric bus developed, high-pressure PEMFC and high-power NiMH battery pack forms the hybrid system.
In order to obtain the higher fuel efficiency and avoid the frequent charge & discharge of battery pack, the active control for the fuel cell pack to follow the driver"s pedal and the surplus peak power from NiMH battery pack passively is used.
