Game-changers for safety aspect in road tunnels: Emission-free power generators based on hydrogen fuel cells from Proton Motor

Shortly after the announcement of the handover of the “HyCabinet S24” product to “DB Bahnbau Gruppe GmbH”, which is being developed for installation in a railway control centre in the greater Berlin area, Proton Motor Fuel Cell has also received its first follow-up order from “H2tec AG”. The customer acts as a full-service provider for fuel cell emergency power systems on behalf of the Swiss „Federal Roads Office“ (FEDRO), which operates 300 road tunnels in Switzerland.

Following the successful commissioning of the Proton Motor hydrogen fuel cell system “HyFrame® S28” in the Neuenhof Tunnel in the canton of Aargau in December 2022, the new order for the plug-and-play fuel cell product “HyCabinet S16” is planned. A “HyModule® S8” system (view teaser product image) is integrated into the arrangement as the heart of the package, with the possibility of easy expansion with an additional HyModule® S8.

Professional technology response to safety aspect and emission control regulations

For the safety aspect in road tunnels as well as in signal boxes that need to be equipped with uninterruptible and emission-free power generators, hydrogen fuel cell systems from Proton Motor provide a professional technology answer. The demand for hydrogen fuel cells in the rail and road infrastructure segment illustrates the importance of clean energy from renewable sources.
