FuelCon expands its market position
In an endorsement of its technology, FuelCon has received a repeat order for a large number of Evaluator® C600 test stations from one of the world’s largest automakers, Volkswagen AG. These test stations will allow VW to test high power density PEM single cells, short stacks and complete stacks.

FuelCon’s test stations are used by the world’s leading automakers and fuel cell developers. Our Evaluator® line of equipment provides our customers with an unmatched level of flexibility for testing and evaluating dynamic and static behavior of PEM fuel cells and systems over extended periods of time.

FuelCon’s CEO, Mathias Bode, reaffirmed “One of the company’s key strengths is its position as an independent supplier able to offer a complete range of fuel cell test stations for PEM, DMFC, SOFC and MCFC in power ranges from a few watts to over 100kWs. As such, we can provide our customers with exceptional service.”

Mr Bode goes on to state that “This shipment to Volkswagen is a further highlight of FuelCon’s movement towards the market leader in fuel cell test technologies. FuelCon offers our customers many technical advantages including, our unique ‘Direct Injection Humidification’ technology, our integrated dynamic pressure with broad flexibility in purging and dead-end cycling, our highly advanced FuelWork® software allowing easy interface to development and simulation tools. As such, we offer our global customers a unique product/service package allowing them to save time, costs and resources resulting in a quicker route to commercial success.” FuelCon is the longest supplier of test rigs in the market and has the largest number of automated test systems worldwide.
