Proton Motor Fuel Cell GmbH (Proton Motor), a wholly owned subsidiary of London-listed Proton Motor Power Systems plc, was established in 1998 ahead of commissioning the “world’s first” fuel cell-powered forklift truck three years later. In 2015, the company signed a major deal with DB Bahnbau Gruppe GmbH to install uninterruptable emergency power systems in the railroad sector.
This June, Proton Motor completed its follow-up order from Deutsche Bahn’s subsidiary after five years of testing its indoor HyCabinet S24 fuel cell system in real-world conditions.
