PROTON MOTOR AT A GLANCE

“We have to get away from fossil fuels,” proclaimed Dr.-Ing. h.c. some 40 years ago. Götz Heidelberg, then owner of “Magnet-Motor GmbH” in Starnberg near Munich. Among other things, he developed fuel cells that generate electricity and heat from the conversion of hydrogen and oxygen. In 1998, the company boss spun off the division into a separate company. Today’s “Proton Motor Fuel Cell GmbH” has two production sites in the Munich metropolitan region and employs more than 120 people under the management of majority shareholder Dr. Francois Faiz Nahab.

As a wholly owned operating subsidiary of the English parent company “Proton Motor Power Systems plc”, the focus of the international premium supplier of hydrogen fuel cells is on stationary applications such as emergency power for critical infrastructures and decentralized, supply-secure energy self-sufficiency. Zero-emission fuel cells and fuel cell-electric hybrid systems with no local carbon footprint are used in mobility solutions in the automotive, maritime and rail segments.

Alternative Investment Market

On October 31, 2006, the security “PPS” (WKN: A3DAJ9 / ISIN: GB00BP83GZ24) of the UK holding company was admitted to trading on the “Alternative Investment Market” of the London Stock Exchange and simultaneous trading on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange with a market capitalization of 25 million pounds. In 2008, Dr. Francois Faiz Nahab decided to invest in the hydrogen fuel cell technology of “Proton Motor Fuel Cell GmbH” because he was aware of the urgent need for alternative energy sources. Since then, over a period of a quarter of a century, the high-tech company Proton Motor has established itself as a hydrogen fuel cell key player in the development and implementation of technological innovations of the future.
