SFC Energy AG and Polaris Government Collaborate to Enhance Military Vehicles with Fuel Cell Technology
Key Ideas
  • SFC Energy AG and Polaris Government collaborate to provide NATO and NATO-aligned defense organizations with advanced fuel-cell powered vehicles for mission-critical applications.
  • The EMILY 3000 fuel cell system by SFC Energy offers a reliable and silent power supply, enhancing operational endurance and reducing the need for refueling during prolonged operations.
  • The fuel cell system supports various battery types, is military-certified, and approved for air transport, contributing to increased energy autonomy and tactical utility for military forces.
  • The collaboration aims to enhance operational range, energy autonomy, and tactical utility in real-world missions by integrating fuel cell technology in Polaris light tactical vehicles.
SFC Energy AG, a leading provider of fuel cells, has partnered with Polaris Government and Defense to equip NATO and NATO-aligned defense organizations with advanced fuel-cell powered vehicles. The collaboration was announced at Special Operations Forces Week in Tampa, Florida. The EMILY 3000 fuel cell system installed in Polaris' MRZR vehicle platform offers a reliable power solution for mission-critical applications without the need to run the vehicle's engine. This system supports various electronic devices and communication systems while preserving camouflage and reducing thermal and acoustic signatures. The EMILY 3000 is lightweight, portable, and virtually silent during operation, making it suitable for covert operations. Its high energy density allows for extended runtimes and minimizes the need for refueling. The system supports different battery types and eliminates the reliance on noisy generators, reducing fuel consumption and acoustic exposure. Additionally, the fuel cell system is military-certified, NATO-supplied, and approved for air transport, making it deployable in international operations. By integrating fuel cell technology, Polaris light tactical vehicles gain enhanced operational endurance and power autonomy, crucial for scenarios where silence and energy independence are critical. Dr. Peter Podesser, CEO of SFC Energy AG, highlighted the benefits of this collaboration, emphasizing the enhancement of operational range, energy autonomy, and tactical utility for military forces. The partnership aims to deliver mission-ready, low-signature power solutions tailored to the needs of modern armed forces, ultimately improving military capabilities in real-world missions.
