Proton signs partnership with major auto engineering company
Proton Power Systems, a company that makes fuel cells and fuel cell electric hybrid systems, has signed a partnership deal with Austrian engineering group AVL List GmbH. The move will see the two companies collaborate on the development of fuel cell hybrid systems and related measurement technology.
AVL and Proton Motor Fuel Cell, a subsidiary of Proton Power Systems, are aiming for close cooperation in the partnership, where AVL will serve as the powertrain engineering and measurement technology provider while Proton Motor will provide the proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell system.
Proton said the contract established the formal basis for the expected joint activities of the two companies and will accelerate the offer and order procedure, as well as setting the parameters for intended project contracts. The framework contract will last for three years, with the option to extend.
