SFC Energy’s hydrogen fuel cell technology to supply Jenoptik with energy for speed monitoring systems.

SFC Energy AG (F3C: DE, ISIN: DE0007568578), a leading supplier of hydrogen and methanol fuel cells for stationary and mobile hybrid power supply solutions, and Jenoptik today signed a cooperation agreement with the aim of bundling competencies in the field of traffic safety.

Speed ​​measurement systems from Jenoptik’s Light & Safety division make an important contribution to sustainably increasing road safety and reducing accidents. They measure the speed of vehicles and thus also ensure a better and more efficient flow of traffic.

SFC Energy and Jenoptik are now jointly raising the issue of sustainable road traffic safety to a new level. EFOY fuel cells from SFC Energy enable Jenoptik measuring systems to provide a completely self-sufficient, location-independent and sustainable energy supply. This also makes the complete solution interesting for the international market and especially areas in which the conventional power grid is less developed.

There is also high potential for savings for users due to the low fuel consumption. Compared to conventional generators, EFOY fuel cells are far more economical. In addition, they do not emit any environmentally harmful exhaust gases such as nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO) or fine dust. Compared to a solution with solar panels, the fuel cell technology impresses with its independence from the weather and thus delivers environmentally friendly electricity over the long term.

Both partners demonstrate their high level of innovation and implementation skills. The first systems have already started operation in several European countries.

Dr. Peter Podesser, CEO of SFC Energy AG:

The potential of the fuel cell is impressively unfolding in the Jenoptik systems. Together with our partner, we have the opportunity to make important contributions on several levels: environmental protection and road safety.

“It is clear that the increasing digitalization of road traffic improves environmental protection. We are all the more pleased when this digitalization is now fed from environmentally friendly fuel cell energy”

Tobias Deubel, Vice President Global Sales of Jenoptik’s Light & Safety division:

This partnership advances us and many cities in terms of road safety and sustainability.

“We are thus tapping new alternative energy sources for our devices and delivering significant added value to our customers with the option of using our measuring systems in regions with less well-developed power grids. In future, we will be able to make our technology available at locations that are not connected to the power grid in order to increase traffic safety there”
