Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide

Rising gasoline prices are driving expectations for hydrogen-powered fuel cells. The U.S. Army and Japanese automakers are focused on the new technology, but for many investors, fuel-cells are a pipe dream.

Not for Jack Robinson, co-manager of the Winslow Green Growth fund (WGGFX: news, chart, profile). "We are going to have fuel cell vehicles for sure, in this country and globally," he says.

A main beneficiary, he says, will be Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide (QTWW: news, chart, profile), an Irvine, Calif.-based maker of ceramic hydrogen storage tanks.


"They make everything you need for a fuel cell system in a vehicle except the fuel cell itself," he adds.

That distinction is crucial, Robinson says. Quantum doesn`t compete with Ballard Power Systems (BLDP: news, chart, profile) and other fuel-cell manufacturers. Quantum`s major rival, he notes, is a privately held Canadian maker of metal storage tanks.

"They`ve got leading technology, an experienced management team, and a strong balance sheet," Robinson says of Quantum. Customers include General Motors (GM: news, chart, profile), which owns 15 percent of the company, Ford Motor, Japan`s Toyota Motor and South Korea`s Hyundai Motors.

Just three brokerage analysts follow the stock, which has a market value of about $200 million. They expect 33 percent earnings growth for Quantum this year and 55 percent in 2005. "This will be the first profitable fuel cell company in the country," Robinson says.

Quantum Ships First Fuel Cell Vehicle to U.S. Army
Monday October 25, 1:00 pm ET


WASHINGTON, and IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, Inc., (Nasdaq: QTWW - News) and the U.S. Army TARDEC`s NAC (Tank-Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center`s National Automotive Center) unveiled a high performance, fuel cell off-road vehicle at the annual meeting of the Association of the U.S. Army in Washington, DC. The "Quantum AMV(TM)" (Alternative Mobility Vehicle), nicknamed the "Aggressor," is a fuel cell vehicle designed and manufactured by Quantum at its California operations for the U.S. Army under contract with the NAC. This vehicle provides significant advantages to U.S. troops for high mobility in stealth operations.
Features of the Quantum Aggressor include:
* Stealth mode: virtually silent operating mode with reduced thermal
signature
* High-performance: far superior acceleration compared to similar
diesel or gasoline-powered all-terrain vehicles
* Export power: on-board electric power generation to support
communications, surveillance, targeting, and other electronic
equipment


The Quantum Aggressor runs on compressed hydrogen utilizing Quantum`s proprietary Type IV impact resistant carbon fiber storage tanks. A 10 kW fuel cell is coupled with an energy storage module in a parallel hybrid configuration, which provides power on demand to a high-torque electric motor driving the rear-wheels. Preliminary tests have shown that the acceleration of the Quantum Aggressor is far superior to an unmodified gasoline internal combustion engine-powered all-terrain vehicle, reaching 40 miles per hour twice as fast. Ungoverned, the Quantum Aggressor is capable of reaching speeds of 80 miles per hour. Quantum`s electronic control system imposes torque and speed limits on the drivetrain to enhance traction and safety.

The Quantum Aggressor can be driven to the intended destination and then be used as a silent power generator to produce high quality electricity for telecommunications, surveillance, targeting, and other battlefield equipment. The vehicle does not produce any emissions throughout the different operating modes.

More information about the Quantum Aggressor can be found on the following website: http://www.qtww.com/products/quantum_aggressor.shtml.

In addition to being on display at the AUSA meeting, the Quantum Aggressor will be displayed at the annual SEMA (Specialty Equipment Market Association) show in Las Vegas, Nevada, from November 2 through 5, 2004, and the Special Operations Forces Week and Advance Planning Briefing To Industry Conference (SOCOM-APBI) in Tampa Bay, Florida, next June. Quantum and the NAC will also test and evaluate the vehicle on different military bases for a period of six months.

Dennis Wend, Executive Director of the U.S. Army`s National Automotive Center, said, "The U.S. Army is constantly evaluating new technologies with partners like Quantum to provide innovative solutions that provide significant advantages or address the military`s challenges in the battlefield. The Quantum Aggressor is a model for more efficient, high performance stealth vehicles through the use of fuel cells and advanced hybrid electric drivetrain technologies. The vehicle has an integrated power plant, which provides more functionality for our soldiers. What we`ve learned from this project definitely has the potential to translate into real solutions to give our Soldiers an advantage."

Next-Generation Fuel Cell System Propels GM`s Sequel
Monday January 10, 1:40 pm ET


DETROIT, Jan. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- With a 25-percent more powerful fuel cell stack, GM`s next-generation fuel cell power system helps Sequel achieve a 300-mile range and 0-60 mph acceleration in less than 10 seconds, while emitting only water vapor.

Sequel`s 300-mile range is made possible by advances in high-pressure storage that enable the vehicle to carry 8 kg of hydrogen, more than double that of GM`s HydroGen3 fuel cell vehicle. Developed in conjunction with Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, Inc., Nasdaq: QTWW , of Irvine, Calif., three lightweight, carbon composite tanks store hydrogen at 10,000 psi (700 bars), compared to 5,000 psi (350 bars) in Hy-wire, Sequel`s predecessor. The larger tanks also enable a better ratio of stored hydrogen mass versus fuel storage system mass.

GM Delivers First Fuel Cell Truck to U.S. Army
Friday April 1, 8:00 am ET
Military sees day when all its vehicles would be fuel cell-powered

HONEOYE FALLS, N.Y., April 1 /PRNewswire/ -- General Motors Corp. and the U.S. Army today announced they are partnering to introduce the world`s first fuel cell-powered truck into U.S. military service.

The U.S. Army took delivery of the crew cab pickup at the GM research facility outside of Rochester, NY, where the vehicle`s two fuel cell power modules were made. Marking the occasion was Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D- NY), who was instrumental in securing the funds in the 2005 Department of Defense appropriations on behalf of GM`s experimental truck."

" The work that GM is doing here in Honeoye Falls represents extraordinary promise for New York State and indeed the entire nation. Securing the funds to make this project possible was a critical step in the right direction. I`m thrilled to have helped and been able to play a role in today`s announcement," said Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton.

The modified Chevrolet Silverado is equipped with two 94 kW fuel cell stacks, capable of generating 188 kW and 317 foot-pounds of torque, or roughly the motor torque generated by GM`s 5.3 liter V-8 engine.

" Fuel cell vehicles are a good match with U.S. Army goals," said Elizabeth A. Lowery, GM`s vice president for Environment and Energy. " We are committed to the development of new technologies that will improve fuel consumption and reduce vehicle emissions. Fuel cell systems are both clean and quiet, and therefore, can provide a battlefield advantage.

" Our partnership with the U.S. Army will familiarize the military with the next-generation of commercially-developed fuel cell technology, will help us drive down costs, create potential for future joint development of fuel cells and promote the development of a hydrogen infrastructure."

The U.S. Army has the largest fleet of vehicles in the world. Improving fuel economy and reducing the logistics of the fuel supply chain could save millions of dollars. For example, it cost the U.S. Army up to $400 a gallon of gas to ship fuel to Iraq and Afghanistan.

GM has a history of working with the military on their transportation needs. The automaker produces more than half of the non-tactical military vehicles purchased each year.

The U.S. Army will evaluate the experimental truck until July 2006 at an Army base in Ft. Belvoir, Va. The vehicle will be used to deliver packages but will not be used in combat. Rigorous testing is planned in different climates and locations around the U.S. to assess performance and give the military first-hand experience with hydrogen and fuel cells.

Despite weighing 7,500 pounds, the GMT800 accelerates in a similar fashion to a V-8 powered production truck, but produces no tailpipe emissions. Fuel cells chemically convert hydrogen into electricity and water.

Three 10,000 psi compressed hydrogen storage tanks , provided by Quantum Technologies (QTWW), will provide a range of 125 miles, even though the vehicle was not optimized for range. !!!!!

The U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command (RDECOM) gets technology out of the laboratories and puts it into the hands of warfighters as quickly as possible. RDECOM manages eight laboratories and research, development and engineering centers, plus the U.S. Army Materiel Systems Analysis Activity, System of Systems Integration, international technology centers, and capability and technology integrated process teams. RDECOM maintains liaisons to the field, hundreds of international agreements, and engineer and scientist exchange programs. RDECOM has more than 17,000 military, civilian and direct contractor personnel, a multi-billion dollar annual budget and is responsible for 75 percent of the Army`s science and technology objectives. RDECOM provides direct support of the technical base to Future Combat Systems and Future Force, ensuring the nation has the protection it needs for the 21st century and beyond.

News:Quantum Awarded Phase 2 of U.S. Department of Energy $2.6 Million Next Generation Hydrogen Storage Program
PR Newswire - July 19, 2005 09:00

IRVINE, Calif., July 19, 2005 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, Inc., (Nasdaq: QTWW) announced today that the U.S. Department of Energy has awarded the company Phase 2 of its $2.6 million program for the development and advancement of next generation hydrogen storage technologies.

Quantum and the U.S. Department of Energy are working under a Cooperative Agreement to advance hydrogen storage systems in support of fuel cell vehicle commercialization. The overall project focuses on optimizing the storage capacity of Quantum`s ultra lightweight advanced composite 10,000-psi hydrogen storage tank technology, previously developed by Quantum and the U.S. Department of Energy, and reducing costs to deliver next generation hydrogen storage systems.

The specifics of Phase 2 include evaluating and incorporating new developments into high-pressure hydrogen storage systems, such as optimization of materials and fabrication methodologies, advanced structural monitoring systems, and higher density hydrogen storage.

As researchers develop solid-state materials for low pressure hydrogen storage in the long term, safe and durable tanks will also be required. Quantum`s new concepts may eventually be applicable to long-term hydrogen storage engineering issues like thermal management and system optimization, as well as to off-board storage and hydrogen delivery.

"Quantum, working in concert with the U.S. Department of Energy in 2001, was the first to develop and certify a 10,000-psi hydrogen storage system for vehicles," said Alan P. Niedzwiecki, President and CEO of Quantum. "That achievement was the first step toward providing enough fuel on board a vehicle to achieve a 300 mile driving range for specific vehicle platforms. The current project with the DOE will focus on the next step along the commercialization continuum -- advancing the design in order to further increase capacity, reduce costs and weight, and maintaining high levels of safety."

Der globale Kampf um Energiequellen bricht aus
Öl und Gas könnten schneller ausgehen als erwartet. Denn der Energiebedarf der Welt wächst rasant. Wer sich nicht rasch um Nachschub kümmert, hat verloren.


Von Winand von Petersdorff


Seit dieser Woche darf sich Roman Abramowitsch voller Energie seinem Große-Jungs-Hobby widmen, dem Fußballclub Chelsea FC. Denn aus dem richtigen, dem großen Spiel um die Öl- und Gasquellen dieser Erde wurde der einstige Oligarch herausgenommen vom russischen Staatspräsidenten Vladimir Putin. Dessen Eingreifen zeigt, daß sich der globale Kampf um Energiereserven verschärft. "Kein Zweifel, es wird dramatisch", sagt ein führender europäischer Energiemanager.

Der russische Gasmonopolist Gazprom übernimmt nicht nur die Abramowitsch-Anteile am Ölkonzern Sibneft. Er selbst wird gleichzeitig heimgeholt von Väterchen Staat: Rußland stockt seinen Anteil an Gazprom auf mehr als 50 Prozent auf und kontrolliert damit rund ein Fünftel der Weltgasproduktion und 16 Prozent der globalen Reserven.

Nicht nur in Rußland, überall auf der Welt entstehen nationale, häufig staatliche Energiekonzerne, die sich nicht mehr länger auf die Ausbeutung heimischer Ressourcen beschränken, sondern weltweit um Förderlizenzen, Quellen und Unternehmen wetteifern - in Konkurrenz zu den alten staatsfreien Platzhirschen Exxon, Chevron, Total oder BP.

Hugo Chavez, Staatspräsident von Venezuela, will Politiker von Nachbarländern für den Aufbau einer pansüdamerikanischen Ölgesellschaft gewinnen, um die "Konzerne des Nordens" zurückzudrängen. In Bolivien kämpft eine große Opposition für die Verstaatlichung der Konzerne, die im ärmsten Land Südamerikas Öl fördern.

Den größten Schwung aber tragen Indien und vor allem China in den Weltmarkt. Die China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC), die zu 70 Prozent einer chinesischen Staatsholding gehört, sucht überall auf der Welt ruhelos nach Energiequellen, entweder Öl- und Gasfeldern oder Unternehmen, die darauf Zugriff haben. Als CNOOC die kalifornische Gesellschaft Unocal übernehmen wollte, die Öl und vor allem Gas in Amerika und Asien fördert, ist sie nach eigenen Angaben auf eine "beispiellose politische Opposition" in Washington gestoßen und nahm deshalb Abstand. Den Zuschlag bekam die amerikanische Chevron für weniger Geld.

CNOOC sucht weiter. "Geld spielt im Grunde keine Rolle", sagt ein Beobachter. China muß den Durst einer boomenden Industrie stillen. Der Energieverbrauch des Landes steigt alle drei Jahre um die Menge, die der Wirtschaftsriese Japan insgesamt beansprucht. "Technologie kann man kaufen. Aber wenn du keine Reserven hat, kann dir keiner mehr helfen", sagt der Chef des Ölkonzerns CNOOC, Fu Chengyu.

Patriotische Unruhe befällt immer mehr Länder. Denn Öl und Erdgas werden möglicherweise schneller knapp als bisher vermutet. Reserveberechnungen, die im ersten Moment Beruhigung auslösen, unterschätzen den dramatisch steigenden Appetit von Ländern wie Rußland, China, Indien und Brasilien und das Bevölkerungswachstum.

Noch einmal 2,5 Milliarden Menschen kommen bis zur Mitte dieses Jahrhunderts dazu. Das ist zweimal China. Zudem sind bisher rund zwei Milliarden Menschen ohne kommerzielle Energie. Soll die Armut erfolgreich bekämpft werden, müssen diese Menschen Energie verbrauchen dürfen.

Reservemengen sind wenig aussagekräftig. Zum einen wird dabei gerne geschummelt. Zum anderen ist viel relevanter, wie hoch die Produktionsmenge und die Nachfrage ist. Denn ist das aktuelle Angebot knapp, schießen die Preise nach oben. Das aktuelle Phänomen ist: Trotz hoher Preise gelingt es den Förderländern kaum, den Märkten zusätzliche Mengen zur Verfügung zu stellen. Nach Einschätzung des World Energy Council begann die Ölproduktion in den Nicht-Opec-Ländern und einigen Opec-Ländern Ende der neunziger Jahre abzunehmen. Trotz neuer Explorationen und Tiefseebohrtechniken. Die Erklärung: Das Gut macht sich rar.

"Wir haben die Post-Öl-Ära betreten", sagt denn auch Frankreichs Premierminister Dominique de Villepin. Der amerikanische Präsident George W. Bush legte seinen Landsleuten in dieser Woche nahe, einfach mal das Auto stehenzulassen. Spätestens jetzt ahnt der Beobachter: Die Lage ist ernst.

Die globale Hoffnung ruht zunehmend auf Gas, dessen Reserven noch einige Jahrzehnte länger reichen als die des Erdöls. Es ist bei der Verbrennung zudem umweltfreundlicher. Doch auch hier gibt es Signale, der flüchtige Stoff könnte knapp werden.

In Nordamerika hat die Erdgasproduktion ihren Höhepunkt überschritten. Der Kontinent muß Gas aus Europa, Afrika und Asien einführen. Dafür muß das Gas verflüssigt und in Tiefkühlfrachtern über die Meere transportiert werden. Gas-Pipelines durch den Atlantik oder Pazifik sind nicht machbar. Pipelines lohnen sich ohnehin nur bis zu einer Strecke von rund 3000 Kilometern und nur dann, wenn sie nicht durch unsichere Länder führen. Die Ukraine stand lange im Verdacht, Gas aus Pipelines abgezweigt zu haben.

Erdgasverflüssigungsanlagen entstehen deshalb zur Zeit überall in der Welt. Das Geschäft boomt an den Küsten von Gasförderländern, die dank dieser Technik Gas zum global handelbaren Gut machen.

Nur folgt schon die nächste Enttäuschung: "Das Gas wird überfordert: Es soll unsere Wohnungen heizen, einen Teil der zukünftigen Mobilität abdecken (,gas-to-liquid`) und einen großen Teil des in Europa anstehenden Kraftwerkersatzes beliefern", warnt der Energieexperte Fritz Vahrenholt. Es ist ein bißchen wie mit der Mehrwertsteuer. Der kostbare Stoff ist mehrfach verplant.

Die Energieversorgung bekommt zunehmend eine politstrategische Dimension. "Die Abhängigkeit von politisch und ökonomisch instabilen Förder- und Transitländern wächst. Die Versorgungsrisiken nehmen zu", heißt es nüchtern in einer Studie des Beratungsunternehmens Prognos.

Weltweit geächtete Länder und von privaten Energiekonzernen verlassene Länder wie der Sudan und Myanmar (Burma) werden wegen ihrer Energiereserven hoffähig, zumindest für einige Länder. China steht im Verdacht, dem Sudan gegen Energielieferungen Waffen versprochen zu haben.

Geraunt wird auch über einen gewaltigen Deal, den China mit Iran abgeschlossen haben soll, das wegen seiner Atompolitik international in der Kritik steht. Iran verfügt neben Katar und Rußland über die größten Gasreserven.

Deutschland macht sich bei seiner Energiepolitik zunehmend abhängig von russischen Gaslieferungen und damit letztlich von Staatspräsident Vladimir Putin. Die Klimapolitik und die Anti-Kernkraft-Politik des Landes erschweren das Ausweichen auf andere Energieträger. Doch im Ruhrgebiet keimen schon wieder Hoffnungen. Die lange als teuer und schmutzig geschmähte Kohle könnte in absehbarer Zeit zu Weltmarktpreisen produziert und sauber verbrannt werden, sichern Energiemanager zu.

Auch Kernkraft könnte nach Ansicht von Optimisten wieder opportun werden, aber insgesamt doch keine erheblich wachsende Rolle spielen. Daß Gas wieder auf Dauer billig wird, ist nicht zu erwarten, zumal der Preis ans schnell knapp werdende Öl gekoppelt ist. Das World Energy Council erwartet eher eine erratische Preisentwicklung mit einer eindeutigen Grundrichtung: nach oben.

GM-Chef besänftigt die Mitarbeiter (FAZ am 19.11.05)
"Keine Pläne für Konkurs" / Aktienkurs erholt sich

nks. NEW YORK, 18. November. Richard Wagoner, der Vorstandschef von General MotorsCorp. (GM) aus Detroit hat die an den Finanzmärkten wachsenden Sorgen vor einer Insolvenz des weltgrößten Autoherstellers besänftigt. In einer Mitteilung an die Mitarbeiter von GM schrieb Wagoner, daß es keine Pläne für einen Konkursantrag gebe. "Ich würde gerne hier und jetzt die Mißverständnisse aus dem Weg räumen: Es gibt absolut keinen Plan, keine Strategie oder Absicht für GM, Konkurs anzumelden", schrieb Wagoner.

Der Brief wurde auf einer unternehmensinternen Internetseite veröffentlicht. In den vergangenen Tagen war der Aktienkurs von GM schwer unter Druck geraten, weil neben den starken Verlusten im Nordamerikageschäft auch die Auseinandersetzungen zwischen Gewerkschaft und Geschäftsführung beim insolventen Autozulieferer Delphi Corp. die Investoren beunruhigt hatten. Delphi, eine ehemalige Tochtergesellschaft von GM, ist deren größter Zulieferer. Analysten hatten in ihren Untersuchungen ausgerechnet, daß ein mehrmonatiger Streik bei Delphi die Barreserven von GM dezimieren würde.

Der Aktienkurs von GM war daher am Mittwoch zeitweise auf den niedrigsten Stand seit 1987 gefallen. Am Donnerstag gab der Kurs zunächst weiter nach, erholte sich dann aber deutlich, nachdem der Brief von Wagoner bekannt geworden war. Wagoner schrieb auch, daß GM einen klar definierten Plan für eine Wende und eine "robuste Konzernbilanz" habe. Die Barreserven von GM belaufen sich auf 19 Milliarden Dollar...

Ich halte es für durchaus gut möglich, dass wir in den nächsten Monaten wieder Kurse zwischen 6 und 10 $ sehen werden. So günstige Einstiegskurse wie jetzt wird es sicherlich nicht wieder geben!

Nach Meldung der neuesten Zahlen gehts nun richtig rauf...Nasdaq +9,15 $ !!!

Erwartet wurde ein Quartalsverlust von 5,82 Mio. Gemeldet wurden nun lediglich 3,17 Mio. Davor waren es noch 7,94 Mio. Also eine wesentliche Verbesserung. Die Firma ist auf dem richigen Wege.

Der Meger mit Tecstar kann nun wirklich positiv betrachtet werden und zahlt sich schon jetzt aus.
So kann Quantum hervorragend unterstützt und weiterentwickelt werden. Denn bis es mit der Wasserstoff- und Brennstoffzellen- Technologie etc so richtig los geht und Quantum zur "CashCow" wird, dauert es noch ein wenig.

Ich vermute, dass wir in Kürze wieder Kurse um die 7$ sehen werden.

[therman]

QTWW wird m.E. langfristig ein Kursvervielfacher sein.

Es wird zwar noch eine Weile dauern bis diese Technologie serienreif in Massenproduktion geht.
Die US Army wird als erste diese Technologie verstärkt einsetzen.
Dass diese Technologie eine grosse Zukunft hat, dies wird immer mehr Investoren klar werden.

DUBAI — General Motors (GM) hydrogen fuel cell concept car yesterday displayed at the preview of eighth edition of the Middle East Motor Show, which is due to open for general public tomorrow.
The technology, based on hydrogen which can be attained from oil, natural gas, solar, wind, biomass and eventually even garbage, has caused significant instant interest with the Dubai government, according to Scott Fosgard, Director of Advanced Technology Communications at GM.

Dubai, with a highly diversified economy and only 20 per cent of its GNP coming from the oil sector, has shown "huge curiosity for the new system," Fosgard told Khaleej Times. He did not, however, want to report further on the subject.

The car is currently 10 times expensive in production as its conventional counterpart, he said. The challenges for the upcoming years are to modify the one-tonne prototype in size, production costs, speed and design. "Our aim is to achieve these updates by 2010".

The car, he added, will eventually be faster, more affordable and easier to manoeuvre, with no fuel changing needed. Additionally, environmental and economical advantages will be strong.

Experts estimate costs of around $12 billion for 12,000 infrastructure stations, which would cover the supply of the 100 biggest cities in the US. It would cost $200 billion per year for the next 30 years to cover the same demand for oil pumps, he said. In the transition phase, oil and hydrogen pumps could coexist at stations.

Currently, there are 800 million cars worldwide, some 1.5 billion vehicles are predicted for 2020. China alone has dramatically increased to 4 million cars in 2005.

"These figures speak for themselves, leaders globally realise the need for vehicles running on alternative energy forms," Fosgard ruled out.

Hydrogen fuel cell technology is clearly the future vision of the automobile industry today. Leading engineers of the top global manufacturers such as Daimler Chrysler, Toyota and Honda among others are competing to design pioneer technologies.

"It is a race among all the industry big-shot to develop the best, fastest and most efficient prototype," Fosgard explained.

Fosgard also stated that within the US, voices have been raised for increased energy independence, caused by the common public perception the war in Iraq has been initiated because of oil interests. Southern California is likely to be the first state to introduce the vehicles, he said. Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is an environmentalist and supporter of the hydrogen system.

In Europe, Sweden has been one of the most progressive nations in terms of the pioneer technology. Within Asia, Singapore and Shanghai have expressed the most interest so far, Fosgard concluded.

[Kostolanys Erbe]

hier vielleicht eine einfache begründung, warum quantum so runter ging:

SHORTIES:

im Mai 2005 waren 1,3 mio aktien short
aktuell 5 mio aktien... !! = knapp 10 % der ausstehenden aktien

http://www.nasdaq.com/asp/quotes_full.asp?mode=&kind=shortin…

aktueller börsenwert: 158 mio dollar
umsatz mit übernahme tecstar: 110 mio dollar in 6 monaten
Bar in der kasse: ca: 40 mio dollar
buchwert. 2,71 dollar

aus meiner sicht sehr viel potential nach oben, denn die tecstar übernahme katapultiert quantum in eine andere umsatzregion und sicherlich schneller in die gewinnzone.
quantum wird jetzt ca, nur mit dem halben jahresumsatz + cash bewertet!!!!
zu dem müssen die shorties auch irgendwann die aktien zurückkaufen....

Quantum Programs to Receive $6.95 Million Department of Defense Funding
Wednesday January 4, 9:00 am ET

IRVINE, Calif., Jan. 4.
Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide today announced that its Alternative Mobility Vehicle (AMV) and Mobile Hydrogen Infrastructure (MHI) programs are allocated to receive a total of $6.95 million in funding under the fiscal year 2006 Appropriations Bill for the Department of Defense, signed into law by President Bush on December 30, 2005. These programs follow on Quantum`s successes with the U.S. Army, wherein Quantum developed and demonstrated the "Aggressor AMV," a high performance light-duty off-road fuel cell hybrid vehicle, and the recently completed "HyHauler MHI," a transportable hydrogen refueling station designed for rapid refueling of military vehicles and silent watch power generators.

In line with Quantum`s new initiatives in hybrid electric drive technology, the military AMV program will develop an advanced second generation (Aggressor II) high performance light-duty off-road hybrid electric vehicle platform incorporating special undisclosed modifications, based on the results of and feedback from the U.S. Army`s testing and evaluation of the Aggressor. The propulsion system for this next phase of AMV development will be an advanced internal combustion engine hybrid electric drive system, which would provide a cost-effective, near-term solution and provide common shared vehicle architecture with future fuel cell applications of the vehicle. Several pre-production prototypes will be developed and built for testing and evaluation by selected military commands to assess mission suitability, supportability, performance objectives, and guidance on final vehicle configuration.

The objective of the MHI program is to demonstrate the capability of Quantum`s HyHauler transportable hydrogen refueling stations to meet emerging hydrogen fuel demand as hydrogen and fuel cell technologies are deployed throughout the military as part of the 21st Century Base initiative. This demonstration program is expected to include supporting the deployment of hydrogen internal combustion engine administrative vehicles as well as fuel cell vehicles.

"Quantum`s military business and our strategic initiatives in hybrids continue to gain momentum. Our funding for Defense related programs will more than triple this year to almost $7 million, up from $2 million in 2005. Having been allocated $6.95 million for production intent military programs is a tremendous success for the company and a strong indicator of more to come. The high quality and performance of the advanced vehicles and refueling stations Quantum developed previously for the US Army and our capability for limited volume production of vehicles through our Tecstar business unit were instrumental in the significant increase of the 2006 Defense Appropriations Bill allocation for Quantum programs," said Alan Niedzwiecki, President and CEO of Quantum.

"We believe that the AMV and MHI programs offer innovative solutions to meet the mission of the national defense effort while reducing the fuel logistic burden," added Mr. Niedzwiecki. "We credit and applaud the tremendous support of the members of the California delegation for these important programs, especially Chairman Jerry Lewis, Senator Dianne Feinstein and Congressman Buck McKeon."

Shares of Quantum Fuel Rise After Analyst Upgrades to `Buy` From `Neutral`


IRVINE, Calif. (AP) -- Shares of Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide Inc. rose Monday after an analyst issued a report upgrading the maker of fuel systems for hybrid cars as its diversification efforts are starting to pay off.

Brion D. Tanous of Merriman Curhan & Co. upgraded the company to "Buy" from "Neutral," saying the company is in position to play a major role in the growing hydrogen fuel cell market.

In a note to clients, the analyst said Quantum Fuel is seeking to expand beyond its dependence on General Motors Corp. -- one of its largest customers -- by diversifying into military and commercial markets.

"We believe Quantum is close to securing over $200 million of incremental business, signaling a dramatic turnaround in its core businesses," he said.

Tanous also said his firm is maintaining its financial estimates for the company. The 2006 loss is seen at 43 cents per share on revenue of $206.5 million, and the 2007 loss is estimated at 28 cents per share on revenue of $227 million.

Analysts expect Quantum Fuel to post a loss of 37 cents per share for 2006, according to a poll by Thomson Financial.

Quantum Delivers First Vehicles of Hydrogen Hybrid Fleet to Santa Ana
Thursday January 26, 6:00 am ET


IRVINE, Calif., Jan. 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, Inc., (Nasdaq: QTWW - News) today announced the delivery of five hydrogen-fueled Toyota Prius hybrid vehicles to the City of Santa Ana, California. This is part of a larger South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD) program to develop and demonstrate 30 hydrogen hybrid vehicles to fleets in Southern California. The formal delivery took place during a ceremony held today at the City of Santa Ana`s vehicle fleet yard.

In March 2004, the AQMD awarded Quantum a contract to engineer a state-of-the-art OEM caliber hydrogen fuel system, perform accelerated long-term durability testing, including crash testing. The complete hydrogen internal combustion engine fuel system, including both the injection system and hydrogen storage system, was developed by Quantum at its Advanced Vehicle Concept Center in Lake Forest, CA. Included in the fuel systems are the company`s patented fuel injectors, fuel rails, electronic control system and software, hydrogen storage, and an optimized turbocharger. In addition to performing in specified starting conditions and meeting certain drivability specifications, the vehicles have been designed and tested to achieve SULEV (Super Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle) emissions standards.

This event marks the first delivery of hydrogen internal combustion engine-powered hybrid vehicles and formal dedication of a hydrogen refueling station as part of the AQMD`s hydrogen fleet and infrastructure demonstration program. Santa Ana is one of five cities partnering with the AQMD to demonstrate five hydrogen-fueling stations and a total of 30 hybrid Priuses, with internal combustion engines that have been modified by Quantum to burn gaseous hydrogen. In addition to Santa Ana, the demonstration sites for the vehicles will include the cities of Burbank, Ontario, Riverside, and Santa Monica, as well as the AQMD headquarters in Diamond Bar. Each city and the AQMD will operate five hydrogen-fueled Priuses for five years.

In order to stimulate the early demand for hydrogen, expedite the development of infrastructure, and provide a bridge to fuel cell vehicles, the AQMD initiated this effort to establish a network of hydrogen fueling stations and deploy a fleet of hydrogen hybrid vehicles. A key benefit of this program will be the opportunity to educate the public on the use and safety of hydrogen as a fuel through its demonstration in vehicles with which the public is already familiar.

"The AQMD`s vision to support the development and deployment of hydrogen technologies to achieve healthful air quality in Southern California is spot on," said Alan P. Niedzwiecki, President and CEO of Quantum. "We believe this program will help expedite the expansion of a hydrogen infrastructure and bridge the technology gap between conventional gasoline vehicles and fuel cell vehicles, as this technology of the future is being commercialized."

Was für ein Wandel. Man mag es kaum glauben...

Bush Speech to Outline Energy Alternatives By NEDRA PICKLER, Associated Press Writer
2 hours, 57 minutes ago

WASHINGTON - Trying to calm anxieties about soaring energy costs, President Bush is using his State of the Union address this week to focus on a package of energy proposals aimed at bringing fuel-saving technologies out of the lab and into use.

ADVERTISEMENT

In Bush`s vision, drivers will stop at hydrogen stations and fill their fuel-cell cars with the pollution-free fuel. Or they would power their engines with ethanol made from trash or corn. More Americans would run their lights at home on solar power.

Bush has been talking about these ideas since his first year in office. Proposals aimed at spreading the use of ethanol, hydrogen and renewable fuels all were part of the energy bill that he signed into law in August, but that hasn`t eased Americans` worries about high fuel prices.

Americans were hit with the biggest jump in energy prices in 15 years in 2005, and worries about the cost of gas and heating oil have damped spirits about the economy despite other recent encouraging signs.

Add in the unrest in the Middle East, and energy becomes a major problem for the president to address Tuesday night.

"I agree with Americans who understand being hooked on foreign oil as an economic problem and a national security problem," Bush said in a recent interview with CBS.

Eight in 10 Americans surveyed earlier this month by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press said gasoline prices were a big problem.

Home heating fuel and health care were the other major economic concerns. It`s not a coincidence that Bush will spend much of his State of the Union reassuring Americans that he has a plan to address energy and medical costs.

House Democrats sought to take the luster off Bush`s speech with a television commercial that accuses the president and Republicans of tilting their policies toward the pharmaceutical, oil and investment industries. It shows lawmakers cheering Bush`s words from three previous State of the Union addresses, and asks: "What Special Interest Will the Republican Congress Rubberstamp This Time?"

Officials said the commercial would air only once, on Fox, in the run-up to Bush`s speech, making it more like a guerilla-style attack on the GOP than an attempt to mold public opinion.

Bush told CBS that he does not support a big raise in the gas tax, as others have proposed. Instead, he is looking for tax breaks that encourage new technologies, which is popular with farmers, with industry and with consumers of those products.

"We have got to wean ourselves off hydrocarbons, oil," Bush explained. "And the best way, in my judgment, to do it is to promote and actively advance new technologies so that we can drive — have different driving habits."

For example, he said, the federal government could push more widespread use of corn-based ethanol and spur production from other sources.

Almost all ethanol produced now comes from corn. Although non-corn ethanol from sources like grasses, wood chips and even garbage is widely talked about, a practical and cost-effective process for producing it appears years away.

Bush noted to CBS that about 4.6 million cars on the road in the United States can run on ethanol. The fuel works in more than 30 models, including General Motor`s Yukon, Chevrolet`s Silverado and Ford`s Taurus. However, almost all drivers of those vehicles outside the Corn Belt fill up with gasoline.

Automakers and environmentalists are also excited about the prospect of fuel cells, which would run on hydrogen that would only emit water instead of gas fumes. But fuel cell vehicles are extremely expensive to produce and lack an infrastructure of fueling stations to make them viable. The government has said it hopes hydrogen fuel cell vehicles will be available in car showrooms by 2020.

When it comes to alternative ways to power homes and businesses, very little U.S. electricity now comes from renewables such as wind, solar, geothermal, wood and waste. But that share is expected to increase as the price of fossil fuel rises.

Die Energiewende wird nun auch in den USA eingeleitetet. Wer hätte je gedacht, dass ausgerechnet Bush die Sache zum Laufen bringt und Bush dem Öl abschwört?!
Ich schätze, der Kurs von QTWW wird nach dem bisherigen Feuerwerk heute regelrecht explodieren.
Kurse kurfristig über 10 und mittelfristig um 50 werden möglich.

Rede zur Lage der Nation
Bush will Amerikas „Abhängigkeit vom Öl” stoppen

01. Februar 2006 Unter dem Eindruck eines gewaltigen Haushaltsdefizits und eines unpopulären Krieges hat der amerikanische Präsident George W. Bush angekündigt, die internationale Führungsrolle der Vereinigten Staaten zu erhalten. Im Interesse der nationalen Sicherheit und des Weltfriedens müßten die Vereinigten Staaten die globale Führungsmacht bleiben. „Unsere Nation ist dem historischen, langfristigen Ziel verpflichtet, die Tyrannei in der Welt zu beenden”, sagte Bush.

Das Land sei stark, trotz der Sorgen wegen des Irak-Krieges, der wirtschaftlichen Lage und der steigenden Energiepreise, sagte der Präsident in seiner Rede zur Lage der Nation am Dienstag abend (Ortszeit) im Kapitol von Washington. Die amerikanische Wirtschaft warnte er dennoch vor Selbstgefälligkeit. „Amerika ist süchtig nach Öl, das oft aus instabilen Teilen der Welt importiert wird”, sagte Bush. Diese Abhängigkeit von Ölimporten aus dem Ausland müsse verringert werden.

Ölimporte aus dem Nahen Osten ersetzen

Der Kongreß lauscht
Er forderte die Erforschung alternativer Treibstoffe, um Ethanol aus Holz und Getreide zu gewinnen. „Unser Ziel ist es, diese Art von Ethanol innerhalb von sechs Jahren zum Einsatz zu bringen”, sagte Bush unter dem Applaus der Zuhörer. „Durchbrüche bei dieser und anderen Technologien werden uns helfen, ein anderes großes Ziel zu erreichen: mehr als 75 Prozent unserer Ölimporte aus dem Nahen Osten bis 2025 zu ersetzen.” Dafür werde mehr Geld in alternative Energien wie Sonne und Wind sowie Biotreibstoffe, Atomenergie und umweltfreundliche Kohlekraftwerke investiert...

Heute ein schlechter Tag. Nach dem heftigen Anstieg in kurzer Zeit war damit zu rechnen. Könnte bis maximal bis ca. 3,80$ zurückkommen um dann mit neuem Schwung den Up-Trend fortzusetzen.
Ich denke dieses Jahr sind zweistellige Kurse durchaus möglich!

Mit soetwas muss man natürlich immer rechnen.
Shorten (typisch amerikanisch) kann gut gehen, muss aber nicht.

So günstig wird man die Aktie wohl nicht mehr bekommen. Bei erwarteten hohen Umsätzen ist die Marktkapitalisierung im Branchenverleich noch relativ gering.
Die Aktie ist mindestens 10$ Wert!

US-ENERGIEPLÄNE

Neo-Öko George W. Bush

Von Hasnain Kazim

Leere Rhetorik oder Wende in der amerikanischen Energiepolitik? Wegen der horrenden Preise droht US-Präsident George W. Bush dem Nahen Osten, die Ölimporte drastisch zu reduzieren - und erklärt, künftig auf alternative Energien zu setzen.

Hamburg - Irak-Krieg, Atomstreit mit Iran, Anschläge auf Ölanlagen in Nigeria - nichts davon dürfte die schlechte Laune von Autofahrern an Tankstellen aufheitern. In den USA, dem Land mit dem höchsten Pro-Kopf-Erdölverbrauch in der Welt, verderben solche Nachrichten erst recht die Stimmung. Da nützt auch der Hinweis nichts, dass Benzin in den USA mit etwa 2,50 Dollar pro US-Gallone, also umgerechnet 66 Cent (0,55 Euro) pro Liter, für deutsche Verhältnisse noch immer spottbillig ist.

REUTERS
US-Präsident Bush: Autofahren mit Biogas und Wasserstoff.
Für die US-Bevölkerung scheint klar zu sein: Was auch immer fern der amerikanischen Heimat passiert, es hat Einfluss auf den heimischen Benzinpreis. Also spricht der US-Präsident aus, was seine Bevölkerung denkt: Die Abhängigkeit vom Öl aus dem Nahen und Mittleren Osten muss schleunigst beendet werden. Bis 2025, sagte der US-Präsident jetzt, sollen die Öleinfuhren aus der Golfregion um 75 Prozent reduziert werden.

Klaus Matthies, Energieexperte am Hamburgischen WeltWirtschafts Institut (HWWI), hält nicht viel von diesen Plänen. "Eine Erfolgsmeldung ist das nicht", sagt er gegenüber SPIEGEL ONLINE, "schon gar nicht aus einem Land, das drei Prozent der Weltbevölkerung stellt, aber auf dessen Konto ein Viertel des weltweiten Ölverbrauchs geht." 75 Prozent Reduzierung klinge nach viel, "aber es geht ja nur um die Einfuhren aus Nahost, und die machen nur 22 Prozent der US-Importe aus". Absolut gesehen sei das viel zu wenig, um als Wende in der US-Energiepolitik bezeichnet zu werden, meint Matthies. Außerdem: "Der Verbrauch soll ja nicht gedrosselt werden. Die USA kaufen das Öl einfach woanders ein statt im Nahen und Mittleren Osten."

Eine echte Erfolgsmeldung, sagt Energiefachmann Matthies, "wäre, wenn Bush das Energiesparen voranbringen würde, beispielsweise durch höhere Mineralölsteuern. Damit würde er zwar die Verbraucher quälen, aber energiepolitisch wäre das richtig".

Erfolge in der Energiepolitik braucht Bush dringend. Erst Ende Januar geriet der hohe Ölverbrauch jenseits des Atlantiks wieder in die Schlagzeilen, als Hunderttausende armer US-Bürger im Norden des Landes ihre leeren Heizöltanks angesichts von Rekordpreisen nicht mehr füllen konnten. Gerade in den USA aber ist der Heizölbedarf wegen der Leichtbauweise aus Holz und oft schlechter Isolierung besonders groß. Bushs Lieblingsgegner, Venezuelas sozialistischer Präsident Hugo Chavez, nutzte die Gelegenheit für eine demütigende Geste: Er ließ in den USA billiges Heizöl verteilen.

Suche nach neuen Quellen in Alaska

Tatsächlich ist Bush auf der Suche nach neuen Ölquellen. Am liebsten wäre ihm die Erhöhung der seit Jahren rückläufigen Förderung im eigenen Land. Seit 1995 wird deshalb in den USA darüber gestritten, ob Bohrungen in einem Naturschutzgebiet in Alaska zugelassen werden sollen oder nicht. Bushs Amtsvorgänger Bill Clinton war vehement dagegen, Bush aus dem Ölstaat Texas, selbst im Ölgeschäft erfahren, dafür. Erst im Dezember scheiterte der Präsident im Senat trotz Republikanermehrheit mit seinem Vorhaben, Bohrungen im "Arctic National Wildlife Refuge" in Alaska zuzulassen. Schätzungsweise zehn Milliarden Barrel Öl werden dort vermutet, die Förderung sollte 2015 beginnen.

Dass Bush ausdrücklich die Importe aus dem Nahen und Mittleren Osten erwähnt, wo etwa drei Viertel aller Ölreserven liegen, ist sich auch politisch begründet: Dort liegen die Krisenherde, die die USA derzeit am meisten beschäftigen. Dass der amerikanische Regierungschef damit die Opec-Mitglieder vor den Kopf stößt und auch Freunde wie Saudi-Arabien düpiert, stört ihn offensichtlich nicht.

Aber der Bush-Administration geht es zumindest nach offizieller Verlautbarung nicht nur um die Suche nach neuen Ölquellen. Ein Papier aus dem Weißen Haus nennt die Weiterentwicklung der Energiegewinnung aus Kohle, Solarenergie und Windenergie drei "vielversprechende" Optionen. In allen drei Bereichen will Washington Gelder für die Forschung erhöhen.

"Schritt in die richtige Richtung."

"Ich bin zwar skeptisch, dass die Verdopplung der Ausgaben von derzeit acht auf dann rund 16 Milliarden US-Dollar ausreichen wird", sagt Friedemann Müller von der Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik in Berlin im Gespräch mit SPIEGEL ONLINE. "Gleichwohl bin ich überzeugt, dass Bush einen Schritt in die richtige Richtung macht."

Zwar habe es in den USA seit dem Independence-Programm unter Präsident Richard Nixon, nach der ersten Ölkrise in den siebziger Jahren, immer wieder Bestrebungen gegeben, sich von ausländischem Öl unabhängiger zu machen. "Aber jetzt, wo auch noch China und Indien verstärkt Öl nachfragen, spitzt sich die Situation wirklich zu." Steuererhöhungen, sagt Müller, seien in den USA "nicht durchsetzbar". "Schauen Sie sich doch die Ökosteuer in Deutschland an. In den USA stößt man noch viel früher auf Grenzen. Eine Lösung für das Energieproblem ist das nicht."

Das Papier aus dem Weißen Haus sieht zudem vor, die Entwicklung von alternativ angetriebenen Automobilen voranzutreiben - eine kleine Sensation in dem Land, in dem die meisten Automobile pro Kopf verkauft werden. "Ich sage Ihnen, lasst uns ein paar Autos bekommen, die mit anderem Brennstoff als dem aus Öl fahren", sagte Bush der Nachrichtenagentur AP. Aus Biomasse hergestelltes Ethanol sei so ein Brennstoff, heißt es in dem Papier, außerdem Wasserstoff. Grundsätzlich sollten Fahrzeuge effizienter im Verbrauch werden. "Bush geht es in erster Linie um die Versorgungssicherheit", sagt Müller. "Der Klimaschutz kommt quasi durch die Hintertür." Dennoch sieht Müller die Entwicklung positiv: "Wenn die USA die treibende Kraft bei einer solchen Entwicklung werden, dann stehlen sie den Europäern am Ende noch die Show."

Autoindustrie setzt auf alternative Kraftstoffe

mmue. BERLIN, 17. Februar. Die deutsche Automobilindustrie will künftig verstärkt alternative Kraftstoffe nutzen. "Damit wollen wir unsere Abhängigkeit vom Öl mindern", sagte der Präsident des Verbandes der Automobilindustrie (VDA), Bernd Gottschalk. Die deutschen Autohersteller haben sich zum Ziel gesetzt, die technischen Voraussetzungen zu schaffen, um in Zukunft 10 Prozent regenerative Kraftstoffe (Biodiesel und Ethanol) dem herkömmlichen Diesel und Benzin beizumischen. Der VDA-Präsident forderte Finanzminister Peer Steinbrück (SPD) auf, auf die vom 1. August dieses Jahres an geplante Besteuerung von Biokraftstoffen zu verzichten. Biokraftstoffe seien im Vergleich zu fossilen Energien noch zu teuer und bräuchten eine fiskalische Flankierung. Langfristig solle der umweltfreundliche Wasserstoff, der aus regenerativen Quellen gewonnen wird, die Rolle des Energieträgers übernehmen.

Offenbar haben nun endlich auch die deutschen Autohersteller begriffen, dass es wie bisher nicht weitergehen kann.

Prima Nachricht, Kosto!
Offensichtlich schafft das Management es doch immer wieder neue Interssenten und Kunden für sich zu gewinnen.
Wenn das in dem Tempo so weiter geht, brauchen wir Aktionäre uns keine Sorgen mehr zu machen.
Schön auch, dass die Firma so auf Diversifizierung setzt.
Bis die Sache mit der H2-Wirtschaft richtig anläuft, dauerts halt doch noch ein wenig.
Die Kunden, die über Tecstar gewonnen werden, sind natürlich gleichzeitig potentielle Abnehmer für das H2-Equipment.
Wenn ich kann, werde ich weiter Nachkaufen (bei den guten Perpektiven und prognostizierten Umsätzen, ist die Aktie völlig unterbewertet.
Wann kommen den eigentlich die neuen Zahlen?

Quantum Fuel Systems Selling Fleets of Hydrogen Fuel Hybrid Vehicles

27. Februar 2006
Corey Washington, The Business Press, San Bernardino, Calif.

Demand for hybrid vehicles is revving up as businesses seek ways to reduce fuel expense.

Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide Inc., based in Irvine, is selling fleets of hydrogen-fuel hybrid vehicles, said Andy Abele, executive director of strategic development.

Riverside became the first city in the Inland Empire to host a hydrogen-vehicle fueling station, which Quantum began operating Jan. 26. The station is used to fuel five hydrogen hybrid vehicles built and sold to the city by Quantum Fuel Systems. The station is available for all hydrogen powered vehicles.

Quantum also sold five hydrogen hybrid cars to the city of Ontario as a part of South Coast Air Quality Management District`s $7 million clean air pilot program.

Quantum hopes the demonstrations in Riverside and Ontario will attract interest from fleet vehicle purchasers, Abele said. The key to selling the vehicles is teaching potential buyers about the benefits of using of hydrogen hybrid vehicles, he said.

"We want to demystify hydrogen and get ready to make hydrogen hybrids a much more accepted vehicle," Abele said.

"We`re not looking to sell one or two," he said. "We`re looking for fleets [purchasers] that would take about five vehicles--something we can set up a service contract to deal with," Abele said.

Businesses that use fleets to transport products and goods, such as courier and delivery services, are likely buyers of hybrid vehicles.

Atlas Courier Service LLC in Riverside subcontracts drivers that use their own cars to transport items. Though the company is small, hybrid vehicles are an appealing option for reducing gasoline and maintenance costs, manager Kathy Jones said.

Atlas uses three regular cars that cost about $20,000 a year in gas and maintenance, Jones said. But Jones leans toward hybrid electric vehicles because they are more convenient to fuel and less expensive to purchase, she said.

A hydrogen hybrid vehicle "would have to be realistic for us to use each day," Jones said.

Quantum`s hybrid vehicles make use of an advanced hydrogen storage system and electronic controls, which makes them ultra-low-emissions vehicles. The hybrid`s engine includes a turbocharger that enables it to operate as a conventional car.

Quantum`s hybrid vehicles cost $80,000 to $100,000 each. The hydrogen hybrid vehicles are individually built.

"Hydrogen is not well known. People are used to going to their neighborhood gas station. Since hydrogen is less dense [than gasoline] there is a compromise in the range in refills," Abele said.

Hydrogen-hybrid fleets can be a hard sell because of their limitations, Abele said.

Because of the limited availability of hydrogen fuel, costs can spike up to $10 dollars a kilogram.

One kilogram of hydrogen fuel has about the same amount of energy as a gallon of gasoline.

The city of Riverside charges about $4.50 a kilogram at its new fueling station. By 2015, the Department of Energy expects hydrogen to cost about the same as gasoline.

Quantum manufactures only Toyota Prius hybrid electric vehicles that are individually converted to hydrogen electric power. The hydrogen vehicles get about 75 miles per tank of fuel compared with the traditional hybrid electric vehicle that gets about 300 miles per tank of fuel.

Because hydrogen hybrids are still in testing, it is unclear whether the vehicles are mechanically more efficient than gasoline-powered cars, Abele said.

United Parcel Service`s Ontario distribution center uses alternative fuels spokeswoman Heather Robinson said.

UPS operates 469 compressed natural gas vehicles in California. The Ontario distribution center uses 45 compressed natural gas vehicles in its fleet.

UPS has spent $15 million on alternative fuel programs nationally since 1998, Robinson said.

The Ontario center is one of two UPS locations with hydrogen vehicles, which are still being tested.

The lack of hydrogen fueling stations is a challenge, Robinson said.

The U.S. Department of Energy hopes traditional gasoline stations will dispense hydrogen fuel when the combustible fuel becomes widely available to consumers, said Thomas Welch, a spokesman for the department.

If hydrogen hybrid vehicles are to become a viable, alternative vehicle for commercial use, an infrastructure that supports hydrogen vehicles must be in place, which includes more fueling stations and incentive programs, Abele said.

The Press-Enterprise of Riverside, Calif., contributed to this report.

Cheap Hydrogen Fuel

GE says its new machine could make the hydrogen economy affordable, by slashing the cost of water-splitting technology.
By David Talbot

Among the many daunting challenges to replacing fossil fuels with hydrogen is how to make hydrogen cheaply in ways that don`t pollute the environment. Splitting water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen using electricity from energy sources such as wind turbines is one possibility -- but it`s still far too expensive to be widely practical.


Now researchers at GE say they`ve come up with a prototype version of an easy-to-manufacture apparatus that they believe could lead to a commercial machine able to produce hydrogen via electrolysis for about $3 per kilogram -- a quantity roughly comparable to a gallon of gasoline -- down from today`s $8 per kilogram. That could make it economically practical for future fuel-cell vehicles that run on hydrogen.


Electrolyzers are fairly simple technologies: water is mixed with potassium hydroxide electrolyte and made to flow past a stack of electrodes. Electricity causes the water molecules to split into hydrogen and oxygen gases, which bubble out of the solution. The chemistry makes a good high-school science experiment -- but commercial-scale quantities of hydrogen are extracted far more cheaply from natural gas.


The core problem in improving electrolyzers for hydrogen manufacture is not how to improve the fundamental conversion efficiency, says Richard Bourgeois, an electrolysis project leader at GE Global Research in Niskayuna, NY. "You can only make it so much more efficient; there isn`t a lot you can do. So we`ve attacked the capital costs," he says.


Today`s electrolyzers are made of metal plates bolted together manually, with gaskets between them, and the whole unit is typically housed in a chamber made of the same metals used in the electrodes, says Bourgeois. The materials are expensive and assembly requires costly labor.


Bourgeois` research team came up with a way to make future electrolyzers largely out of plastic. They used a GE plastic called Noryl that is extremely resistant to the highly alkaline potassium hydroxide. And because the plastic is easy to form and join, manufacturing an electrolyzer is relatively cheap.


Inside the plastic housing, metal electrodes still do the same job. But because GE is using less electrode material, the reactivity of the electrodes` surfaces is improved. To do this, the researchers borrowed a spray-coating process -- normally used to apply coatings for parts on jet engines -- to coat the electrodes with a proprietary nickel-based catalyst with a large surface area.


GE has demonstrated the technology in a prototype, and is now building a larger production module -- one that can produce 1 kilogram of hydrogen per hour -- for testing in its labs later this year. A machine of that scale could be attached to small electricity sources to produce hydrogen on the side. The technology also has the potential to be massively scaled up to create a hydrogen gas station.


GE`s new electrolyzer could be ready for production in a few years. "You can talk about transitioning to a hydrogen economy, but really these things don`t move unless the economics are there," Bourgeois says. "This takes enough capital cost out of the whole electrolyzer system, so when you buy this and amortize it over so many years, you compete with gasoline."


Paul Bakke, an electrical engineer and program manager at the U.S. Department of Energy in Golden, CO, says a cheap electrolyzer could be a key component of the future hydrogen economy. "As far as I know, GE is the only one who has tried to tackle this problem," he says. "Assuming GE is successful in being able to produce these things with a high level of reliability and low cost, it will break through the barrier that has traditionally been there for electrolyzers -- namely, the capital cost barrier."


Bakke adds: "I would say it`s an important piece; it may not be the only way to make hydrogen, but it`s an important piece. Natural-gas reforming may be a near-term bridge, but in order to get away from the environmental concerns, we will have to go to electrolysis, derived from wind turbines and solar panels and so forth."

Quantum and Former Senior Executive of General Motors Join Plug-In Hybrid Vehicle Consortium
TUESDAY, MARCH 28, 2006 6:00 AM
- PR Newswire

QTWW
3.44 +0.01

IRVINE, Calif., March 28, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, Inc. ("Quantum") (QTWW) announced that Quantum Technologies and Mr. Alan Perriton, former Senior Executive of General Motors Asia/Pacific, have joined the Plug-In Hybrid Development Consortium (the "Consortium"). The Consortium is made up of a growing number of automotive suppliers, manufacturers and other organizations working together to accelerate the commercial production of Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles ("PHEVs").

Quantum and its subsidiary, Tecstar Automotive Group, are leaders in powertrain engineering, system integration, rapid prototyping, advanced propulsion systems, and manufacturing of packaged fuel systems for hybrid, fuel cell, and alternative fuel vehicles. Quantum has product commercialization alliances with General Motors, AM General, and Sumitomo. Quantum's customer base includes General Motors, Toyota, Opel, Hyundai, Suzuki, Ford, DaimlerChrysler, AeroVironment, and the U.S. Army. Quantum has also developed hybrid hydrogen technologies for the Toyota Prius and the Hydrogen Ford Escape Hybrid now in development. Quantum brings valuable vehicle prototyping, powertrain, and system integration engineering services to the Consortium, which plans to demonstrate affordable plug-in hybrid technology to automakers in a PHEV design with the potential of achieving over 100 mpg.

"Quantum is pleased to join the Consortium and contribute system integration and energy storage expertise in the development of the next generation hybrid vehicle. We believe that plug-in hybrid electric vehicles can be practical and cost-effective, and support the transition to fuel cell vehicles," said Dr. Neel Sirosh, Chief Technology Officer, Quantum.

Alan Perriton joins the Consortium as an advisor to the automotive industry. Mr. Perriton formerly served as president of General Motors, Korea and head of GM Asia/Pacific's New Business Development/M&A activities. Having led GM's fuel cell business development activities for a period of time, Mr. Perriton's expertise in this field will be of great assistance. "The Plug-In Hybrid Development Consortium can help automakers accelerate the development of plug-in hybrids by introducing critical new technology and by reducing development time and costs. I see plug-in hybrids as a legitimate bridging technology to our Hydrogen future," said Perriton.

"The technical expertise of Quantum along with the leadership of auto industry experts such as Alan Perriton are valuable additions to the Consortium and will help coordinate the Consortium's efforts with automakers."

PHEVs are dual-mode hybrids that can run on low-cost electric fuel or gasoline. Plug-in hybrids can deliver significant improvements in fuel economy by driving their first 25 to 50 miles on clean renewable electric fuel for about 1/4 the price of gasoline before turning on the combustion engine.

The Consortium was organized to help reduce the R&D gap between component suppliers and OEMs, and to coordinate and accelerate the development of critical new solutions while reducing the development time for the next generation Hybrid vehicles. The members of this growing Consortium plan to develop compatible components and cost-effective working designs that would enable a plug-in hybrid to achieve 100-200 total mpg petroleum economy by driving its first 25 - 50 miles in all-electric zero-emission mode. This "Dual Mode" PHEV will then continue to operate in a high-efficiency hybrid electric mode to achieve conventional range of operation.

Alan Perriton also serves on the Board of Directors of Raser Technologies Inc. (http://www.rasertech.com/), an advanced electric drive technology company that also participates with the Plug-In Hybrid Development Consortium.

About The Plug-in Hybrid Development Consortium

The Plug-In Hybrid Development Consortium is made up of key component suppliers who intend to work together with participating automobile manufacturers to coordinate and accelerate the development of key hybrid components and demonstrate these advanced technologies in "next generation" plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. Membership is divided into two groups, developers, made up of component suppliers and advisors. Phase 1 membership is not exclusive.

GM in race to make clean-car investment
Publication Date:30-March-2006
06:30 AM US Eastern Timezone
Source: financial times

General Motors needs to give a green light to heavy investment to develop a mass-market hydrogen-powered car within the next 18 months to ensure the US carmaker – struggling with a financial crisis – does not get left behind on clean vehicles.
Larry Burns, head of research and planning at GM, said the carmaker needed to move fuel cell propulsion from the laboratory to full development well before its 2010 deadline for proving that the technology is commercially viable.

Hydrogen-powered fuel cells have been seized on by governments and most carmakers as the long-term solution to pollution, global warming and high oil prices as they emit only water and the fuel can be made from renewable sources.

Mr Burns declined to say how much would need to be invested to produce a saleable car, but allocating significant money is likely to be a tough decision for GM. The company lost $10.6bn last year and faces heavy costs to close a dozen facilities and cut 30,000 jobs in North America, as well as demands for cash to help Delphi, its bankrupt former components arm.

"It is even more important to show our resolve and take a position on the future in these tough times," he said in an interview with the FT.

The tabular content relating to this article is not available to view. Apologies in advance for the inconvenience caused.Typically an all-new vehicle costs at least $1bn to develop, while a derivative of an existing model would cost $500m or more. The new technology of fuel cells is likely to push the cost up significantly.

But GM is under pressure from rivals led by DaimlerChrysler and Toyota, who plan to start selling fuel-cell cars by 2012 and 2015 respectively. Honda has begun putting fuel-cell test cars on the road in California.

"We are not the only company driving hard to be first to market with fuel-cell vehicles," Mr Burns said. "You can safely conclude that if we are going to be on market [in time] then a decision needs to be made in the next year to 18 months."

However, Mr Burns suggested it might be possible to fund a new vehicle within the existing development budget, which is scheduled to rise by $800m to $8.7bn this year. No decision has yet been made on whether fuel-cells would be provided instead of an engine in an existing car, or whether an entirely new model would be produced.

GM has long argued that fuel cells have the potential to transform the industry, replacing complex engines and gearboxes with a fuel cell and electric motors containing far fewer parts.

Rick Wagoner, chief executive, opted to pour cash into fuel-cell development six years ago to put GM at the forefront of next-generation car design, and promised to be first to sell 1m fuel-cell cars. But the company missed out on hybrid petrol-electric technology, having chosen to focus on fuel cells instead, and is now trying to catch up with Toyota, which has scored a surprise hit with its fuel-efficient Prius.

GM delayed some hybrid and fuel cell projects last year when heavy losses forced a cut in the planned research budget, although the programmes were protected from cancellation, unlike other research.

...Dank Wettbewerber ist nun genuegend Druck da, die Sache beschleunigt voranzutreiben....

Momentan schein ja wirklich alles denkbar zu sein...
Aviation officials imagine planes flown by hydrogen power Source:Chris Jones-Gaming Wire, 05-April-2006

Hydrogen-powered jumbo jets have long existed solely in the dreams of hippie environmentalists and sci-fi geeks.
But their future looks groovy, baby, experts said this week in Las Vegas.

And tomorrow's clean-running aircraft won't need a live-in Wookiee to keep their motors soaring safely through the sky.

Current and future applications of alternative fuels were a big topic at the Aviation Industry Expo, which took place Tuesday through Thursday at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

Soaring oil costs continue to sabotage airlines' finances, a trend that will worsen as global demand for crude oil rises.

Likewise, the need to curtail air pollution around airports and elsewhere is fueling interest in different methods of powering planes and ground-based vehicles.

The military is among those leading the charge, said Mike Mead, chief of the U.S. Air Force's Advanced Power Technology Office at Robins Air Force Base near Macon, Ga.

Hydrogen-powered fuel cells are driving buses, forklifts and tow trucks at military bases around the nation, he said.

Alternative-fuel blends such as E85 ethanol are being studied for wider use, including unmanned airborne vehicles.

Mead urged caution before the public becomes anxious for green-friendly passenger jets, however.

"Let's test it out on the ground first before we put it 30,000 feet in the air," he said.

Capt. Jim Muldoon, an Air Force liaison to the U.S. Army's Tank-Automotive Research Development and Engine Center, said hybrid engines are used in military Humvees, and have been field tested in aircraft and other Army vehicles.

"The capabilities are there," Muldoon said. "We have enough energy here (in the United States). We just need to be able to utilize it."

The world's two largest commercial aircraft makers, Airbus S.A.S and the Boeing Co. are "looking at fuel cells right now," said Charles Myers, sales director with Nuvera Fuel Cells, an energy technology company based in Cambridge, Mass.

He said it will be several years before fuel cells are used to power jumbo jets.

In the interim, military and private businesses are focused on cutting ground-based vehicles' oil dependence.

Fuel cells, which use hydrogen and other fuel sources to produce energy that's cleaner and more efficient than gasoline-powered internal combustion engines, offer the most long-term promise, panelists said.

Myers said such cells are getting smaller and easier to deploy. They're also growing stronger: cells with enough juice to drive a locomotive are being tested for use in Japan, he said.

"Airports are between a rock and hard place because they can't change the emissions on aircraft, but they can do something about their ground support equipment," Myers said, touting fuel cells' potential for jetway tow trucks and luggage transports.

To remain in full compliance with federal clean air standards, McCarran International Airport uses diesel buses, hybrid/electric gasoline vehicles, compressed natural gas vehicles, dedicated diesel vehicles, and 52 bi-fuel vehicles that use gasoline and compressed natural gas.

Those vehicles nearly double the airport's 103 gasoline powered vehicles.

McCarran does not use ground equipment with fuel cells, a spokeswoman said.

In many cases, future power sources will be compatible with existing equipment.

Kevin Harris, who oversees business development for Toronto-based Hydrogenics Corp., said fuel cells can also be reloaded with connections to wind and solar power sources, which further expands their flexibility. Chevron, Shell Oil and Toyota are all involved in their development, he added.

Future fuel sources are often more expensive than today's common sources, while their reliability and durability remain key concerns, Harris said. Other challenges include where to store such fuel supplies, how such projects can meet coding standards that are often yet-to-be written, and encouraging the public to pursue such uses.

Costs are dropping, he added.

"It's still relatively early in the fuel cell area ... but I can say it's improving every year," Harris said.

Mead said researchers are focusing on technology that can be used by the military and commercial entities to make the most of potential market opportunities.

"The Air Force has really gotten into the energy war and is really doing all it can to reduce our dependence on foreign oil," Mead said. "We're trying to get (technology) out of the showrooms and laboratories and put it into vehicles on the flight line."


Könnte dabei nicht QTWW eine entscheidende Rolle spielen (die guten Kontakte zum Militär bestehen ja bereits)??!

[stefauser]

wäre doch der hammer wenn wasserstoff sich wirklich als energieträger für die transportmittel baldigst auch in der massenproduktion einsetzen lässt,
zur zeit gibt es viele projekte welche die kosten zur herstellung von wasserstoffe gewaltig reduzieren,
bei lagerung und transport fehlen noch einige punkte die realisiert werden müssen dann dürfte es ja endlich klappen und die herstellung zu vernünftigen preisen und umrüsten der transportmittel endlich erfolgen,
bis 2010 sind es noch 3 3/4 jahre, ob das hinhaut laut den prognosen von gm?
ich hoffe sehr für meinen geldbeutel und für die wirtschaft, wir sind bereits schon in einer energiekriese und haben höchste eisenbahn nach all den verschlafenen jahren, denn erdöl sollten wir nicht so verheizen es ist viel zu kostbar dafür.
mittlerweilen werden ja schneekatzen mit wasserstoff betrieben!
eigentlich müsste ja eine kurskorrektur kommen um den weg nach oben freizuschaufeln, bleibe aber long, denn die finanzierung ist sicher

Five for the Money, By Alex Halperin

Greener Pastures in Tech
Whether for profit or for Mother Earth, these companies offer eco-friendly products that could mean big bucks down the road.

When all else is equal, few people actively object to buying products touted as environmentally friendly. But buying stocks in so-called green companies may be a different story. Some of the newest companies have yet to prove that they can produce solid returns for investors.

However, as environmental issues gain greater attention from policymakers and the public, some companies think they can have it both ways by getting rich on environmentally-friendly products, or at least ones that don't do much harm. And investors have an ever-growing number of options.

With Earth Day approaching, Five for the Money takes a look at companies offering products or technologies that may reduce pollution -- and pull in big bucks in the bargain. They range from tiny startups to enormous conglomerates, and as always with new technologies, investors would be well advised to take a closer look before diving in, especially at those companies that haven't yet turned a profit.

1. Quantum Fuel Systems
Quantum's products include high capacity hydrogen storage tanks that can be used in fuel-cell powered cars. These tanks can store enough hydrogen to power a fuel-cell car for about 300 miles. Brion Tanous, managing director of equity research at Merriman Curhan Ford & Co. -- which makes a market for Quantum (QTWW) -- says that's about the minimum distance electric cars will need to travel before consumers will buy them, and that makes Quantum an industry leader in a field that could take off. He rates the stock a buy despite predicting that losses will continue into at least 2007.

Only about 500 fuel-cell powered cars exist worldwide, but Tanous says there could be 5,000 in the U.S., and many more elsewhere, by 2010. What's more, the military is "very aggressively deploying hydrogen technology" to combat the expense and logistical difficulties involved in transporting liquid fuel in battle, he says. In the general arena, Quantum can already count among its customers behemoths such as General Motors (GM) and Toyota Motor (TM). Not a bad start in a fledgling market...

Guten Abend, XIO!

Der Nachrichtenfluß seitens QTWW ist doch noch etwas dürftig. Die halten sich z.Z. noch ziemlich bedeckt.

Die arbeiten wohl u.a. vorwiegend mit dem US Militär und GM etwas intensiver zusammen.

Du weisst bestimmt schon mehr...Das sind die derzeit mir bekannten letzten offiziellen Meldungen (Ausschnitte) zum Thema QTWW / Toyota (Prius):

South Coast Air Quality Management District beauftragt Quantum
Der South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD) in Kalifornien, USA, hat beschlossen, die Verbrennungsmotoren von 30 Toyota Prius-Hybridautos auf Was-serstoffbetrieb umrüsten zu lassen. Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide hat einen entsprechenden Auftrag mit einem Umfang von 2,3 Mio US-$ erhalten. Die Summe könnte durch das National Automotive Center des Verteidigungsministeri-ums auf 2,5 Mio US-$ aufgestockt werden, um 5 weitere Prius umzurüsten.
Quantum wird das gesamte Kraftstoffsystem des Wasserstoffverbrennungsmotors inklusive des Einblassystems und des Wasserstoffspeichers entwickeln. Dabei wer-den sowohl Quantum Druckwasserstoffspeicher als auch fünf Texaco Ovonic Metall-hydridspeicher zum Einsatz kommen. Quantum wird diese Komponenten in die Fahrzeug einbauen und alle notwendigen Crash-, Dauer- und Emissionstests durch-führen.
AQMD wird später über neun Angebote zur Errichtung der notwendigen Wasserstoff-tankstellen in fünf Städten (Burbank, Ontario, Riverside, Santa Ana, Santa Monica) entscheiden, die den Betrieb der Wasserstoffautos für mindestens fünf Jahre sicher-stellen sollen.

Army Tests Hybrids Fueled by Hydrogen
April 18, 2006

http://www.emagazine.com/view/?3153

As part of a strategic effort to provide vehicles suitable for use in far-flung locales, the United States Army has begun to test hybrid automobiles fueled by hydrogen instead of gasoline. With fuel cells still cost prohibitive, Army researchers are jazzed by the possibility of combining existing electric drive assist technology with hydrogen fuel. They have started experimenting as such with converted Ford Escape Hybrid SUVs.



According to a statement released by the Army's National Automotive Center (NAC), combining such technologies "has the potential to offer a cost-effective alternative to full fuel-cell powered vehicles." The Army is working with an industry partner, Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies, to make such ultra-hybrid vehicles, along with mobile compressed hydrogen refueling stations, a practical reality.

"Currently one of the biggest vehicle technology focuses for the Army is alternative energy, both hybrid and fuel cell," says Paul Skalny, director of the NAC. "We are continually exploring the uses of commercial fuel cell and hybrid platforms for both tactical and combat vehicles."

Updated: 3:16 p.m. ET March 31, 2006

The U.S. Army's vehicle research center is partnering with a private company to fuse technologies, converting a Ford Escape Hybrid to run on hydrogen instead of gasoline.

The idea is to start using hydrogen with internal combustion engines because the alternative, fuel cells, is still cost prohibitive.

“Part of the 21st Century Base Initiative, this technology has the potential to offer a cost-effective alternative to full fuel cell powered vehicles,” the Army's National Automotive Center said in a statement.

The center is working with industry partner Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies , which will do the conversion and supply a mobile refueling station.

"Currently one of the biggest vehicle technology focuses for the Army is alternative energy, both hybrid and fuel cell," center director Paul Skalny said. "We are continually exploring the uses of commercial fuel cell and hybrid platforms for both tactical and combat vehicles."

Quantum Awarded Contract to Deliver Hydrogen Hybrid Vehicles to Norway
TUESDAY, MAY 09, 2006 6:01 AM
- PR Newswire

QTWW
4.87 +0.13

IRVINE, Calif., May 9, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, Inc., (QTWW) today announced that it received a purchase order for 15 hydrogen-fueled Toyota Prius hybrid vehicles from Miljobil Grenland AS, a participant and vehicle provider to the Norwegian Hydrogen Highway (HyNor). These hydrogen hybrid vehicles will be put in service in Norway in 2006 and 2007 as part of the HyNor program.

HyNor is a unique Norwegian joint public/private partnership initiative to demonstrate real life implementation of hydrogen energy infrastructure along a route of 580 kilometers (360 miles) from Oslo to Stavanger during the years 2005 to 2008. The project comprises all steps required to develop a hydrogen infrastructure and includes various hydrogen production technologies and uses of hydrogen, in all cases with an adaptation to local conditions. The overall objectives of the HyNor project are to demonstrate the commercial viability of hydrogen energy production, hydrogen's use in the transportation sector, and the development of a hydrogen infrastructure.

HyNor will address various means of transportation, including buses, taxis, and private cars, and various transportation systems, including urban, inter-city, regional, and long national transports. The project will connect various activities and cities in a common network along one of the major national transport corridors, between the capital Oslo and Stavanger, the major oil and energy city in Western Norway.

"We see this as a new and interesting segment of zero emission technology for the transportation sector, that complements our activities on electric cars," says Bjorn Nenseth, Managing Director of Miljobil Grenland.

The hydrogen Priuses to be delivered to Norway will be based on Quantum's state-of-the-art OEM-caliber hydrogen hybrid vehicles operating in California. Quantum recently delivered 30 hydrogen Priuses to municipal fleets in Southern California. Quantum optimized the performance of the hydrogen vehicle system, completed accelerated long-term durability testing, and performed crash testing, to verify the design of the vehicles. Quantum subjected the final design to extensive system optimization and vehicle verification testing to ensure super ultra low emission vehicle (SULEV) emissions performance, drivability, durability, and crash survivability of the hydrogen Priuses. Quantum will also complete analysis and verification of the hydrogen hybrid vehicles to meet Norwegian Department of Transportation requirements.

"Quantum is pleased to be the supplier of the hydrogen hybrid Priuses that will be used in the HyNor project. We believe this program will help expedite the expansion of a hydrogen infrastructure, grow the acceptance of hydrogen as a transportation fuel, and bridge the technology gap between conventional gasoline vehicles and fuel cell vehicles, as this technology of the future is being commercialized," said Alan P. Niedzwiecki, President and CEO of Quantum. "In response to oil prices upwards of $75 per barrel, we are also seeing increased interest from around the world for Quantum's hydrogen, hybrid, and alternative fuel vehicle technologies as options to petroleum."

"ausserdem, wenn ich mir die mk von 108 mio. im vergleich zum umsatz von 193 mio. ansehe, scheint mir quantum günstig zu haben zu sein." ... ja, aber eben nur auf den ersten Blick. Das Unternehmen steckt tief in den Schulden (45Mio. USD) und schreibt nach wie vor Tiefrote Zahlen ... Gewinne sind leider so schnell nicht in Sicht. Die haben sich mit der Tecstar Automotive Group total übernommen ... ohne diese Übernahme würde Quantum Fuel Systems Fundamental glänzend da stehen, zum mal das Storage Business bei weitem nicht die Verluste generiert hat, wie Tecstar.

[archihof]

Hallo, zusammen!

Schaut mal...

General Motors have entrusted Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies with the liability of providing them, Hydrogen Storage System for their Equinox Fuel Cell Fleet. GM plans to equip the Fleet with 10,000 psi tank, which accounts for double storage as compared to most of the Fuel Cell Vehicles.

Quantum will base the requisite tank on their Type IV all Composite ,Polymer lined tank design , which is an ultra lightweight tank , thus the credence issue wont be of much relevance for the Equinox Fleet .

Quantum has developed and safety tested the pattern explicitly for the Equinox Fuel Cell Fleet. GM made an evident choice by picking up Quantum as they have created their own proprietary High-pressure valves, regulators and safety designs for the Equinox system.

Quantum Technologies Reports Fiscal 2007 Second Quarter Financial Results
Monday December 18, 4:00 pm ET

IRVINE, Calif., Dec. 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, Inc. (Nasdaq: QTWW - News), a leading designer, manufacturer and integrator of packaged fuel systems and accessories for specialty vehicles and applications including hydrogen fuel cell, hybrid, and alternative fuel vehicles, today reported results for its fiscal 2007 second quarter ended October 31, 2006. Conference call information is provided below.

Second Quarter ended October 31, 2006

Consolidated net revenue declined to $36.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 compared to $63.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. The decrease in consolidated net revenue is the result of a $27.0 million decrease in revenues within the Tecstar Automotive Group's segment. Net revenues within the Quantum Fuel System segment increased from $4.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2006 to $5.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2007.

The Company's consolidated net loss increased from $3.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2006 to $89.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2007. The increase was primarily due to a $72.3 million impairment loss on goodwill related to the acquisition of the Tecstar Automotive Group and operating losses incurred in the Tecstar Automotive Group segment mostly as a result of lower product sales resulting from downtime at Tecstar's Texas and Canadian facilities as General Motors transitions from the 800 to 900 series full-sized trucks and SUVs. Tecstar's Louisiana facility was also idle during the quarter, but is now back in regular production with a GM mid-size pickup program. The Company also realized higher corporate administrative expenses primarily related to stock option compensation expenses under the adoption of 123R during fiscal 2007. The compensation expense related to the adoption of 123R was $0.9 million and depreciation and amortization expense during the second quarter was $3.0 million.

Quantum Fuel Systems operating segment revenues during the second quarter of fiscal 2007 were $5.2 million, representing a 10% increase over the prior year's second quarter, which was $4.8 million. This increase is primarily due to higher product sales of hydrogen fuel storage and natural gas systems. This segment's operating loss increased from $3.3 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 to $3.8 million for second quarter of fiscal 2007.

Revenues for the Tecstar Automotive Group operating segment for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 were $31.4 million compared to $58.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. Product sales for the Tecstar Automotive Group segment totaled $30.0 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2007, consisting of $15.2 million in automotive assembly revenues, $12.3 million in automotive OEM accessory parts revenues, and other product sales of $2.5 million. In comparison, product sales for the Tecstar Automotive Group segment totaled $55.2 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2006, consisting of $33.6 million in automotive assembly revenues, $20.3 million in automotive OEM accessory parts revenues, and other product sales of $1.3 million. Contract revenue for the Tecstar Automotive Group was $1.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 compared to $3.2 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2006.

Impairment of Goodwill

Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangibles must be tested for impairment annually or in interim periods if events indicate possible impairment. In connection with the preparation of the second quarter financial results, the Company performed an impairment test which resulted in the Company recording an estimated non-cash charge of $72.3 million for the impairment of purchased intangibles associated with the merger of Tecstar Automotive Group and the acquisition of Empire Coach Enterprises, which is included in the TAG business segment. This charge is recorded as an operating expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months and six months ended October 31, 2006.

The Company recognized certain factors or indicators of possible impairment at the end of the second quarter, primarily related to a sustained decrease in the Company's market capitalization below the carrying value of the Company's net equity and delays in the Tecstar Automotive Group's recovery because of industry conditions and the transition of new model year programs. With the assistance of an independent consultant, the Company recently completed the first step of the goodwill impairment test and determined that the book value of the Company, including goodwill, exceeds its fair value. The fair value was estimated using a combination of a discounted cash flow approach and market approach.

The second step of the goodwill impairment test, the measurement of the potential impairment loss, is not yet complete. However, the Company has concluded that it is probable that a goodwill impairment loss has occurred and recorded an estimated impairment charge of $72.3 million, representing all the goodwill related to the Tecstar merger and acquisition of Empire. The Company expects to complete the second step prior to the end of the fiscal 2007 third quarter and will record any adjustments to the estimated impairment loss at that time.

The fundamental strategic platform for the Tecstar acquisition remains in place today. Tecstar continues to provide the Company with a stronger operational base with OEM-level assembly facilities, including quality processes, production and tooling capabilities, and a second-stage vehicle assembly operation that can be used for future fuel cell, hybrid and alternative fuel vehicle assembly programs and other specialty vehicle programs. Waning second-stage programs are being replaced with new models, however, specific discussion of those models must be withheld pending public announcements by the OEMs. Military engineering programs using both Quantum Fuel Systems and Tecstar expertise are launching simultaneously, but again cannot be disclosed in detail until public announcement.

Six-month Period Ending October 31, 2006

For the six month period ended October 31, 2006, consolidated net revenue decreased $31.4 million from $110.5 million in fiscal 2006 to $79.1 million in fiscal 2007. This decrease in consolidated revenue is a result of lower revenues within the Tecstar Automotive Group's operations, partially offset by a slight increase in revenues for the Quantum Fuel System segment. Product sales for the Tecstar Automotive Group segment decreased $32.0 million, or 33%, from $96.5 million in the first half of fiscal 2006 to $64.5 million in the first half of fiscal 2007 as a result of the expiration of certain second stage contracts and changeovers in vehicle platforms by General Motors that have occurred since the second half of fiscal 2006. For the six-month period, Quantum Fuel System segment revenues increased 35%, from $9.1 million in fiscal 2006 to $12.3 million in fiscal 2007. Product sales for the Quantum Fuel System segment increased $4.3 million, or 105%, from $4.0 million in the first half of fiscal 2006 to $8.3 million in the first half of fiscal 2007. Due to the higher revenue base, the Quantum Fuel System segment operating loss decreased from $7.5 million for the first half of fiscal 2006 to $6.8 million for first half of fiscal 2007. The Company's consolidated net loss increased from $11.2 million in the first half of fiscal 2006 to $102.8 million in the first half of fiscal 2007, which includes the $72.3 million impairment loss on goodwill.

Alan P. Niedzwiecki, President and CEO, stated, "The Company's operating performance during the quarter was negatively impacted by the impairment charge, lower than expected Tecstar revenues and gross margins due to product mix and underutilization of our Tecstar facilities due to transitional delays in the upstart of new programs with our OEM customer base. Although we are disappointed with the overall operating performance, the Quantum Fuel System and technology driven revenue base has been very strong during the first six months of fiscal 2007 and we continue to see opportunities emerge in hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, hybrids and other platforms, especially in international markets.

"We have reduced our variable cost structure and continue to make changes to the operating model based on cost rationalization, while at the same time not losing focus on future business opportunities. The outlook for future revenue streams from Tecstar is encouraging and we anticipate higher revenues from Tecstar toward the end of fiscal 2007 which will allow that operating segment to improve its operating performance in the second half of fiscal 2007 and continued improvement in fiscal 2008."

Mr. Niedzwiecki added, "Despite recent cost reductions, we continue to make significant investments in our hydrogen and battery control system technologies and other emerging technologies to maintain our position as leading manufacturer and integrator of packaged fuel systems for hydrogen fuel cell, hybrid, and alternative fuel vehicles. We are excited about participating in GM's recently announced Chevrolet Equinox Fuel Cell vehicle program. We anticipate delivering hydrogen fuel storage systems for this program starting in the second half of fiscal 2007. The delivery of these vehicles will be the largest fleet of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles equipped with range-extending 10,000 psi hydrogen storage systems."

IRVINE, Calif., Jan. 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, Inc. (Nasdaq: QTWW), today announced that it has been awarded a contract by Lockheed Martin to supply its new state-of-the-art hydrogen and oxygen fuel storage tanks for a regenerative power supply system to be used in a stratospheric airship application.

This award is due to the successful performance in a previous award from Lockheed Martin for Quantum to design and develop the next advancement in ultra-lightweight hydrogen and oxygen tanks. Utilizing its expertise in ultra-lightweight all-composite gaseous fuel storage, Quantum developed unique compressed gas storage systems for oxygen and hydrogen with higher system weight efficiency than has been demonstrated in the past. Additionally, the storage systems have been designed and tested to withstand an extreme range of conditions from sea level to high altitude.

"This program has redefined the state-of-the-art for compressed hydrogen and oxygen storage technologies. Quantum is excited to have been awarded this contract from Lockheed Martin to produce ultra-lightweight hydrogen and oxygen storage tanks," said Alan P. Niedzwiecki, President and CEO of Quantum. "Meeting these extreme requirements for Lockheed Martin's application has advanced our high pressure all-composite gaseous storage technologies for hydrogen vehicle commercialization, where the automotive operating environment, packaging efficiency, and weight requirements pose their own challenges."

Quantum Signs Strategic Agreement in China to Expand Global Portfolio of Natural Gas Vehicle Products



IRVINE, Calif., April 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, Inc. (Nasdaq: QTWW), today announced that it has signed an agreement in China for the distribution and sale of compressed natural gas (CNG) cylinders into international markets.

Through this agreement, Quantum gains access to lower-cost Type II steel tanks and Type III aluminum-lined, carbon fiber-wrapped, high-pressure compressed natural gas cylinders, enabling entry into broader international market segments. The tanks will be manufactured in China by Quantum's partner for the international automobile and transit bus markets. Quantum will assist with the certification of these CNG cylinders to international standards for safety and quality, specifically ISO 11439, EU ECE R110, and US NGV2-2000, for compressed natural gas tanks.

"We believe that this partnership will facilitate Quantum's entry as a supplier of complete, integrated fuel storage systems to Chinese automakers and the growing market for alternative fuel vehicles in China, India, and Europe to meet government demands to diversify energy resources and mitigate the environmental impact of increasing transportation needs. This agreement is the first in a series of agreements Quantum expects to put in place over the course of this year as a result of our initiatives in China to expand Quantum's global portfolio of products and their international market penetration," said Alan P. Niedzwiecki, President and CEO of Quantum. "Quantum, as a fully-integrated alternative energy company, is a unique one-stop-shop for alternative energy solutions. We will now be able to offer our customers a choice of Type II, Type III or Quantum's own premier ultra-lightweight Type IV compressed natural gas cylinders to meet their requirements for the rapidly expanding worldwide natural gas vehicle market."

Quantum Technologies to Review Strategic Alternatives for Tecstar Division
Thursday June 28, 9:00 am ET

IRVINE, Calif., June 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, Inc. (Nasdaq: QTWW - News), today announced that it has retained Merriman Curhan Ford as financial advisor to assist the Company in a review of strategic alternatives to enhance shareholder value. The Company anticipates a review with its advisors of its options for the Tecstar operating segment, including strategic alliances or a possible sale of all or part of the Tecstar Automotive Group subsidiary, but there can be no assurances of any particular outcome.

The Company does not expect to disclose further developments regarding the process until the review of strategic alternatives has been completed. Quantum will continue to implement a cost reduction plan at Tecstar, which it believes has improved the long-term prospects of Tecstar.

No timetable has been set for the completion of the strategic review. There can be no assurance that the review will result in any specific strategic or financial transaction.

[ustrading]

... das Management sollte gleich mit ausgetauscht werden, die haben das Tecstar Debakel immerhin verzapft Wo würde Quantum heute stehen, wenn man die Finger von Tecstar gelassen hätte ... zur Erinnerung, die Übernahme hatte 2004 über 185Mio. USD gekostet und die damals noch prallen Kassen von Quantum in einen rießigen Schuldenberg verwandelt :O

[PrivateParts]

ISt der Handel ausgesetzt, oder wieso gibt es keinen Kurs ? (jedenfalls weder bei yahoo noch bei meiner Bank noch auf der QTWW-Website..).

[ustrading]

nö, Handel läuft ... aktuell bei +3% bei 255T Shares

[mc-plop]

So, bin jetzt auch bei QTWW dabei.

Ich denke mal der Turnaround ist vollzogen und Quantum wird demnächst die Früchte der Sanierung ernten können.

Optimal wäre wenn Tecstar verkauft werden könnte und sich QTWW ganz auf die Entwicklung und den Vertrieb alternativer Antriebe, also die Kernkompetenz, konzentriert.

Hier ne Übersicht der 2007 Aktivitäten aus IV von trend:

Quantum's 2007 activities

Look at how many different projects this company has received contracts for or is working on for in the past 6 months. Pretty impressive action lately.

Quantum Awarded Contract by Force Protection to Support Engineering and Production of Armored Military Vehicles

Quantum Awarded Contract to Develop Diesel Hybrid Electric Vehicles for U.S. Army

Quantum Awarded Contract to Develop and Demonstrate Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles

Quantum Awarded Contract to Expand Hydrogen Hybrid Vehicle and Refueling Infrastructure Programs for U.S. Army

Quantum Ships Eleven Extended-Range Hydrogen Hybrid Vehicles to Norway's Hydrogen Highway

Quantum Supplies Ford With Hydrogen Fuel Injection Systems for E450 Hydrogen Shuttle Buses

Quantum Awarded Contract to Supply Aerospace Hydrogen and Oxygen Storage Systems

and I wanted to add this because this took place in 2007 also:

Quantum Signs Binding Letter of Intent to Acquire Stake in a German Solar Company



Ich denke mal die Investoren die kürzlich 18,9 mio $ in QTWW investiert haben denke ähnlich.

Im IV gingen Gerüchte um das Frank Kavanaugh zu QTWW gegangen ist nachdem er bei FRPT zurückgetreten ist, habe aber nichts konkretes diesbezüglich gefunden, weiß da jemand genaueres drüber?

[coolrunning]

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 30.397.852 von mc-plop am 29.06.07 19:36:02

Nein, Frank ist nicht dabei.

running

[ustrading]

@mc-plop,

also von einem vollzogenen Turnaround zu sprechen ist viel zu früh ... eine Sanierung kann zudem erst dann erfolgen, wenn die Tecstar Zukunft geklärt ist. So viel wird QTWW für den Laden eh nicht bekommen. Die Tatsache das Quantum eine Solarfirma kaufen will (dzw. haben sie wohl auch neue Investoren gefunden) zeigt doch, das sie für das alte Brennstoffzellen Business keine große Zukunft mehr sehen. Schau dir mal HOKU an, das war vor ein paar Jahren einer der großen Brennstoffzellenstars (waren sogar profitabel) und jetzt machen sie dieses Business dicht, und gehen in die Siliziumproduktion

[mc-plop]

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 30.399.665 von ustrading am 29.06.07 21:21:25

Das stimmt natürlich, komplett vollzogen ist er nicht, aber der anfang ist gemacht mit der bodenbildung des pps und den aufträgen die bisher in 2007 an land gezogen wurden.

Wenn der Turnaround vollzogen ist wird QTWW bei mindestens 3 - 4 $ pps stehen, deshalb bevorzugen ich lieber jetzt schon den Einstieg.

Ich sehe hier ein optimales antizyklisches Investment mit begrenztem Risiko und erheblichem Aufwärtspotential. Ich denke die 1,50 $ Marke vom PP wird eine starke Unterstützung darstellen.

Eine drohende Insolvenz als Worstcase schließe ich eigentlich aus aufgrund der Zusammenarbeit mit GM, die notfalls einspringen könnten.

Vorm PP hat man ja gesehen wie der Kurs nach oben will und an der 2,30 $ Marke gekratzt hat, ich denke Kurse oberhalb der 2 $ werden wir in den nächsten Wochen locker wieder sehen.

IRVINE, Calif., July 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, Inc. , a leading designer, manufacturer and integrator of alternative fuel systems and accessories for specialty vehicles and applications, including hydrogen fuel cell, hybrid, and alternative fuel vehicles, today reported results for its fiscal 2007 fourth quarter and year ended April 30, 2007. Conference call information is provided below.

Fourth Quarter Results

Total revenue in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 was $36.8 million compared to $45.8 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. The decrease in consolidated net revenue is the result of a $5.1 million decrease in revenues within the Tecstar Automotive Group's segment and a $3.9 million decrease within the Quantum Fuel System segment.

The Company's consolidated operating loss increased from $13.9 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 to $15.1 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007. The increase was primarily due to a $2.3 million restructuring charge and FAS123R share-based compensation expenses in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, partially offset by a lower operating loss at the Tecstar automotive group operating segment. The Tecstar Automotive Group operating segment loss was $8.9 million -- including the restructuring charge, the Quantum Fuel Systems operating segment loss was $2.6 million and Corporate segment expenses were $3.5 million. The compensation expense related to the adoption of 123R was $1.3 million and depreciation and amortization expense during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 was $3.0 million.

Quantum Fuel Systems operating segment revenues during the quarter were $3.1 million compared to $7.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006, representing a 56% decrease. This decrease is primarily due to higher product sales in the prior year fourth quarter to support Toyota's fuel cell bus program and higher development program revenues. This segment had an operating loss of $2.6 million compared to an operating loss of $2.3 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. This increase was primarily a result of lower customer funded development program activities and share-based compensation expense.

Tecstar Automotive Group operating segment revenues during the quarter were $33.7 million compared to $38.8 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. This decrease is related to the lower product sales from our operations in Canada and low volume in Texas associated with trucks and sport utilities. Product sales for the Tecstar Automotive Group totaled $27.7 million, consisting of $14.9 million in second-stage automotive assembly and conversion revenues, $10.7 million in automotive OEM accessory parts revenues, and other product sales of $2.1 million. Cost of product sales for the Tecstar Automotive Group was $27.8 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007. Contract revenue for the Tecstar Automotive Group was $6.0 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007.

The Company's net loss increased from $14.5 million, or $0.27 a share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 to $16.2 million, or $0.25 a share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007.

Fiscal 2007 Results

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2007, the Company reported consolidated revenues of $146.7 million compared to fiscal 2006 revenues of $191.9 million and consolidated product sales of $130.0 million compared to fiscal 2006 product sales of $172.1 million. The decrease in product sales is a result of lower revenues within the Tecstar Automotive Group's operations, partially offset by a $1.9 million increase in product sales for the Quantum Fuel System segment. Quantum Fuel System segment product revenues increased 22%, from $8.8 million in fiscal 2006 to $10.7 million in fiscal 2007. Product sales for Quantum Fuel System's consist of the Company's hydrogen fuel metering and fuel storage systems for Toyota Motor Corporation's fuel cell SUV platform and bus platform, sales associated with General Motors' mid-size automobiles and pick-up trucks equipped with the Company's bi-fuel and compressed natural gas fuel systems, and hydrogen hybrid vehicles. The Quantum Fuel system operating segment operating loss decreased $1.0 million from $13.4 million in fiscal 2006 to $12.4 million in fiscal 2007 primarily due to the higher product sales and the gross profits in fiscal 2007.

The Tecstar Automotive Group segment revenues decreased $43.1 million, or 25%, from $172.1 million in fiscal 2006 to $129.0 million in fiscal 2007. Product sales for the Tecstar Automotive Group segment decreased $43.8 million, or 27%, from $163.2 million in fiscal 2006 to $119.4 million in fiscal 2007 as a result of the expiration of certain second stage contracts and changeovers in vehicle platforms by General Motors that have occurred since the second half of fiscal 2006. Operating loss for the Tecstar Automotive Group segment was $10.1 million and $101.9 million for fiscal years 2006 and 2007, respectively. Included in the fiscal 2007 operating loss was an impairment charge for goodwill of $71.7 million. The Corporate segment expenses increased from $9.9 million in fiscal 2006 to $15.0 million in fiscal 2007. The increase in corporate expenses in fiscal 2007 is primarily due to share-based compensation expense of $3.2 million resulting from the new accounting change effective beginning in fiscal 2007.

During fiscal 2007, depreciation and amortization expense was $12.0 million compared to $10.5 million during fiscal 2006. The Company's net loss increased from $35.5 million, or $0.67 a share, for fiscal 2006 to $140.5 million, or $2.28 a share, for fiscal 2007.

Alan P. Niedzwiecki, President and CEO, stated, "Our overall operating performance during fiscal 2007 continued to be affected by the downturn in vehicle sales and the change over in model year for several vehicle platforms offered by our largest customer, General Motors. During the fourth quarter, we made significant reductions in our cost structure and staffing levels, discontinued unprofitable business lines and consolidated certain facilities. These changes resulted in a $2.3 million restructuring charge, but we anticipate this will lead to improvement in the coming fiscal year. We will continue to evaluate our facilities and cost structure, balancing future reductions with new programs and opportunities being offered by our OEM customer base. Additionally, as recently announced, we are reviewing strategic options for the Tecstar operating segment, including strategic alliances or a possible sale of all or part of the Tecstar Automotive Group subsidiary.

Mr. Niedzwiecki continued, "Fiscal 2007 also brought opportunities to the company, especially new relationships in international markets that will allow us to begin leveraging our existing product and technology base. We have memorandums of understanding for the establishment of strategic relationship with companies in China, India and Europe, and continue to advance our lithium ion battery technology in partnership with Advanced Lithium Power based in Vancouver, Canada. Our product and technology portfolio has been solidified by the advancement of our fuel storage and delivery systems, our battery control systems and hybrid systems under funded program development work with the US military, automobile companies and other domestic and international government agency funding. The lithium ion battery technology combined with our industry leading hydrogen storage systems and system design capabilities will position us to capitalize on growing opportunities within hybrid systems, hydrogen engine and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, refueling technology and other applications including the renewable energy markets."

Mr. Niedzwiecki added, "We recently announced an agreement to acquire an equity stake in a German solar energy technology company that develops and manufactures high-efficiency photovoltaic modules for a number of innovative applications, including automotive, residential, and commercial applications. We expect this to be the first step in a pathway to re-establish our dedication to alternative energy and progressively become a fully integrated alternative energy company."

* Quantum Awarded Contract to Develop and Demonstrate Plug-In Hybrid
Electric Vehicles -- Quantum announced that it was awarded a $2.1
million contract by California's South Coast Air Quality Management
District (AQMD) to develop and demonstrate plug-in hybrid electric
vehicles (PHEVs). Quantum will develop, manufacture, and deploy 20 Ford
Escape PHEVs for demonstration in Southern California. Under this
contract, Quantum will utilize its OEM system engineering and vehicle
integration methodologies to develop a plug-in hybrid version of the
2008 Ford Escape Hybrid. The PHEV system will be based on integrating a
lithium ion battery pack and management system from Advanced Lithium
Power Inc. (ALP), a partner of Quantum. ALP's plug-in hybrid battery
system will be designed to achieve a target of 35-40 miles of battery-
only range. Extensive analysis and testing, including vehicle crash
testing as well as fuel mileage and emissions performance, will be
completed on the Ford Escape PHEV prior to the field demonstration to
ensure the safety, performance, and reliability of the vehicles.
The AQMD has been a leader in developing and demonstrating plug-in
hybrid technologies. Plug-in hybrid technologies overall have potential
for lower criteria pollutant emissions and zero local emissions during
portions of the commute when vehicles are operating on battery only.
This can provide substantial benefits to communities, neighborhoods, and
schools where these vehicles operate. AQMD's draft 2007 Air Quality
Management Plan calls for 100,000 PHEVs by 2014 in the South Coast Air
Basin and up to one million PHEVs by 2020. This is one of the measures
needed to meet the aggressive air quality goals and deadlines required
by U.S. EPA. The AQMD also believes that PHEVs can be an enabling
technology for all types of alternative fuels, such as CNG and hydrogen,
by reducing the size of the most costly components (e.g., gaseous
storage tanks and the fuel cell stack) and relying more heavily on the
battery system.

Humvee replacement
Qtww just may be a little closer to building some
non-combat vehicles than we thought.
Fuel economy for transportation on secure bases is
definately on the front burner with the DOD.
It is all about the fuel economy.

This may be a dated article but the basic premise has not changed except the needs of the military are even more crucial in 2007
---------------------------------------------------------------
Hybrid Could Fill Humvee's Boots
John Gartner 04.21.05 | 2:00 AM
For a transport vehicle to be all it can be, the Army says it needs to run far on a tank of gas and provide portable power. To meet this goal, the military is developing a hybrid Humvee alternative that could boost the market for combination combustion-electric vehicles.

During last week's Society of Automotive Engineers' 2005 World Congress, the Army's Tank-Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center demonstrated a hybrid vehicle chassis that can be fitted with multiple bodies to replace Humvees, Jeeps, armored vehicles and pickup trucks.



See photosCutting fuel costs and reducing maintenance were the driving forces behind the decision to create hybrid vehicles, according to Hal Almand, the Army's light tactical forms team leader.

The vehicle is powered by a small, three-cylinder diesel engine and two hybrid motors. It would cost about $20,000 to manufacture and could replace a $65,000 Humvee, Almand said. The vehicles are expected to get about 50 miles per gallon, compared to the Humvee's current 11 mpg. "The more money we can save the better," Almand said.

Like the Toyota Prius, the prototype vehicle minimizes fuel use by running exclusively on the electric motors at low speeds or when idling. The Army designed the vehicle for easy repair by providing unobstructed access to the engine, electric motor and drive train. The batteries are located in the center of the chassis beneath the vehicle for easy access.

The vehicles would likely be used in non-tactical situations to transport soldiers within an Army base where the Humvee is overkill, according to Almand. The prototype vehicle was made from "off-the-shelf components" in less than 90 days to prove that the technologies are for real, he said.

Almand said the Army would soon test the vehicles for field readiness at training facilities. If the demonstration is successful, Army officials would determine how many vehicles would be built and how they would be deployed. Almand said researchers are also investigating a remote-controlled, driverless version that could move supplies in dangerous areas.

Vehicles produced by the military have become adapted to become popular consumer models in the past, and the new hybrid platform could also make that transition, according to Dan Kahn, road test editor at automotive website Edmunds.com. Kahn said diesel hybrid vehicles are fuel-efficient "when used for short hops, like on a military base. It would be a perfect application and would save a lot of fuel."

The Army produced the easy-to-repair Jeep and Humvees that became successful commercial vehicles, Kahn said. An easily maintained hybrid that, unlike the Toyota Prius, would not require specially trained mechanics might further interest in hybrids, according to Kahn. "The military's involvement in hybrid technology could make it more convenient and easier to use," Kahn said.

The vehicle was built for the Army by Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, a systems integrator that has built more than 400,000 specialty vehicles, according to Alan Niedzwiecki, the company's president and chief executive officer.

Quantum could manufacture enough vehicles to meet any Army orders, and would consider licensing the platform to other automakers for commercial applications, Niedzwiecki said. The platform could be used with commercial auto bodies and sold as fuel-efficient vehicles for driving around ranches or neighborhoods where speeds above its 35 mph maximum are not required.

The vehicles are less expensive than other hybrids because of the smaller diesel engine that can fit in an 11-inch-by-14-inch package, Niedzwiecki said. Quantum designed the vehicle so that the diesel engine could be easily removed from under the hood and used as a mobile 5-kilowatt electric generator, according to Niedzwiecki.

According to Edmunds.com's Kahn, the Chevy Silverado and Ford Escape hybrids, which also can produce auxiliary power, have proven that car engines work as sources of electricity.

Kahn said potential customers would include former soldiers who like to buy vehicles that they used while in the service. Hummer and Jeep owners love their vehicles because of their simple design and rugged looks, Kahn said, and an Army-produced diesel hybrid could follow in those vehicles' tracks and became a status symbol.

Klingt ja alles ganz schön und gut, allerdings halte ich die geplanten Absatzzahlen von 15.000 Stück jährlich für arg optimistisch. Immerhin basieren die beiden vorgestellten Modelle auf MB SL55 AMG und BMW 650 / M6. Ob man da mal eben soviele von absetzen kann?

Aber vielleicht werden es ja noch mehr Modelle.

Quartalsbericht ist raus: http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1166380/0001193125072…

Net loss USD 66 Mio., das entspricht USD 0,94 pro Aktie!!

Hört sich erstmal dramatisch an, liegt aber größtenteils an außerplanmäßigen Abschreibungen auf Vermögenswerte (Impairment of Assets) in Höhe von USD 58,9 Mio.

Bereinigt um diese Abschreibungen lag der Verlust bei USD 7,95 Mio. im ersten Quartal (gegenüber Vorjahr USD 13,43 Mio.)

Was mich ein wenig trübe stimmt, sind die von USD 41,94 Mio. auf USD 30,44 Mio. gesunkenen Erlöse.

Ich hoffe das ich alles aus dem Quartalsbericht korrekt und ohne Fehler wiedergegeben habe. Wenn nicht bitte ich um Korrektur.

Hat jemand hierzu eine Meinung?

[ustrading]

Zahlen waren wieder mal eine Katastrophe und ein Ende ist nicht in Sicht. Seit der Tecstar Übernahme geht es nur noch bergab. In dem von dir angesprochen 66Mio. USD ist aber eine Steuererattung in Höhe von 4,9Mio. USD enthalten ... unterm Strich hat man auf operativer Basis in 3Monaten einen 2stell. Millionenbetrag in den Sand gesetzt

[ebookaktiv]

Kennt Ihr andere Unternehmen die mit Brennstoffzelle arbeiten.
Die BZ hat Zukunft und ich suche alle Firmen die damit etwas zu tun haben.

[Outriggerrace]

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 31.598.960 von ebookaktiv am 16.09.07 10:57:52

das dürfte ja nicht so schwer sein - denn die Firmen siehst Du auch auf der Seite - unter "Leute die sich über den Wert informieren - informieren sich auch über ..."
so ganz der grosse brüller scheint Quantum ja nicht zu sein - aber andere BZ-Firmen machen auch Verluste und das ohne Zukäufe - die Frage ist nur welche Firma die nächsten 5 - 10 Jahre überlebt.

[ustrading]

meines Wissens ist Quantum auch nicht direkt mit der Entwicklung der Brennstoffzelle beschäftigt, sondern sie haben sich auf die Entwicklung von Wassestofftanks die für die BZ-Technologie nötig ist, spezialisiert. Ich denke das die BZ, zumindest im Automobilsektor keine große Zukunft haben wird, da sie einfach zu teuer und auch zu uneffizient ist, was die Energiegewinnung angeht. Interessant könnte das ganze aber auf portabler Ebene werden, da hier eine andere Technologien eingesetzt wird, die wesentlich preiswerter ist, da sie weniger Energie liefern muss ... schaut Euch dazu mal Medis Technologies an

here is the german solar manufacturer quantum invested in recently..looks like it will be profitable but what is more interesting is this:

" In addition, the LOI provides that A Solar will facilitate Registrant's solar initiative in the United States by assisting with the installation of a production facility of approximately 30 MW peak annual capacity."

and this:

"Additionally, we have the leading-edge know-how for constructing state-of-the-art thin film modules."

by contructing i hope they mean that they manufacture it as this is what FSLR does, thin film.

>asola is one of the pioneers in viewing solar energy in a broad context. It's not just about making
solar energy available, but rather enabling it to be used in as diverse applications as possible.
We're particularly strong advocates of the mobile use of solar energy � for example in vehicles.
This is an area where as far as asola�s concerned, the competition is (almost) non-existent.

http://www.ass-gmbh.net/output/en/techno...

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On May 14, 2007, Registrant announced that on May 11, 2007, it entered into a binding letter of intent ("LOI") with Automotive Solar Systems GmbH ("A Solar") and Mr. Reinhard Wecker ("A Solar Shareholder"). The LOI provides that, subject to Registrant's satisfactory completion of its due diligence investigation and the parties' execution of a definitive purchase agreement, Registrant will purchase from A Solar and/or A Solar Shareholder a 24.9% ownership interest of A Solar for 300,000 Euro.

The proposed transaction is to occur within 60 days following execution of the LOI. Registrant has a period of 14 business days from the date of the LOI to conduct its due diligence review, and the right to terminate the LOI if not satisfied with the results of its review.

The LOI also provides that (1) the Registrant shall have the right to increase its ownership interest in A Solar to 32.66% within 2 years of the closing for a purchase price of 100,000 Euro, (2) Registrant agrees to provide 1,200,000 Euro of future investment over the course of two years from closing to be used by A Solar solely for expanding its plant capacity to 30 MW, conditioned upon A Solar obtaining additional equity investment acceptable to Registrant, and (3) Registrant will provide a bank guarantee not to exceed 1,000,000 Euro with respect to a bank loan to be used by A Solar for working capital purposes. In addition, the LOI provides that A Solar will facilitate Registrant's solar initiative in the United States by assisting with the installation of a production facility of approximately 30 MW peak annual capacity.

perhaps later these modules can be incorporated in their hybrid vehicles that they just announced.

Re: Quantum's stake in German Solar Company - Pogy

Hi Gents,

as promised I did some further research on Automotive Solar Systems ASS GmbH with the help of Germanys biggest credit agency, DWA.
So here is a summary (all data comes from closed business year 2006) and could differ here and there.
By telefone I got the information that the company has a capital infusion lately, no numbers available yet.

Companys register number in Germany: HRB 112643
Employees: 40
Credit risk: Minimal, pays accurate
D&B rating: 1AA 1
D&B Capital Indicator: 1AA (based on total property of 1.3 million EURO)
Line of credit: 500.000 EURO
Contingency risk: smallest (94 point out of 100) only 5% of German Companys have a better score
Stockholder: 1. Reinhard Wecker , 2. Biohaus PV Handels GmbH
Authorised Capital: 37.500 EURO (That´s the minimal amount you need to constitute a GmbH (limited company) in Germany.
Value of business equipment: 700.000 EURO
Inventory: 530.000 EURO
Recievables: 665.000 EURO
Liabilities: 590.000 EURO
Turn over 2006: 4.55 Million EURO

Looks like a sound firm on its way in a future market.
Mr. Wecker is founder of the company and executive director and stakeholder since then.
No changes in directors or any other indicator that there is hassle in any way.
They are placed in a former niche that could be a big market in the future (especially the automotive sector, see their homepage for further details)

I am not an owner of QTWW stock at the moment, but that can change within a blink of a eye...

Gerade bezügl. des Ratings hört sich das ja nicht schlecht an. Andererseits kann ich mir nicht vorstellen, dass sich die Beteiligung groß auf das Ergebnis Quantums auswirken wird.

Hoffentlich liegt brasi mit seinem Einstieg richtig. Bei mir selber will sich der Optimismus noch nicht recht einstellen, obwohl oder vielleicht gerade weil ich schon mit Verlust drin bin. Naja, no risk no fun.

[coolrunning]

Na Freunde, ist das schon der Rebound. Kommt mir ein bißchen früh, ich bin zwar schon investiert - würde gern aber noch nachkaufen.

Also - bitte nicht zu heftig hier ran.... die gute Zeit kommt noch !

Irvine couple first to test GM green car
Automaker is still looking for more volunteers to try experimental fuel-cell powered SUV.
By JOHN GITTELSOHN
THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER
Comments 0 | Recommend 3

When it comes to cars, David Shelton goes green.

Shelton, a computer systems operator from Irvine, is the first Orange County resident who will test drive General Motors' new fuel-cell Equinox SUV, getting to use the eco-friendly Chevrolet for three months beginning early next year.

Shelton said being first to use the new electric vehicle is an honor and a challenge, similar to becoming a contestant on a reality TV show – "Dancing with the cars."

"When I was asked why I'm the ideal candidate, I said it's because I'm a tech savvy person and an early adopter on a number of technologies," said Shelton, 46.

This will be the fourth electric car Shelton has taken for a test drive. He tried General Motors' EV1 in the late '90s, experimented with a Ford Think City electric car and, since 2002, has owned an electric-powered Toyota RAV4.

The Equinox runs on hydrogen – using a fuel system provided by Irvine-based Quantum Fuel Systems. Its maximum range is about 160 miles.

General Motors is still seeking people interested in serving as guinea pigs. For information on the program and applications CLICK HERE.

General Motors is making 100 of the fuel-cell powered Equinoxes available, about two-thirds of them in Southern California, the rest in the New York and Washington, DC, areas.

The company is looking for celebrities and people like Shelton – tech types who will give an enthusiastic but honest appraisal of the pros and cons of the car. They get free fuel and damage insurance coverage, but they're expected to contribute heavily to the online chat rooms and surveys created for the fuel cell Equinox crowd.

So far, more than 11,000 people nationwide have begun the application process.

Shelton, who performs with his wife Suzanne in the Saddleback Symphony Orchestra, commutes less than seven miles to work. But he plans to stretch the car on excursions to performances and visits to relatives who live in the San Fernando Valley and beyond.

"We have a gas car, but we use it very, very infrequently," Shelton said.

The biggest barrier to more hydrogen cars at this point is a lack of fueling locations. Today, the only station in Southern California that delivers hydrogen at the right pressure for the Equinox is at the intersection of Jamboree Road and Campus Drive in Irvine, convenient for Shelton's commute from Turtle Rock home to his office at Pacific Life Insurance Co. in Newport Beach.

In Southern California, the automaker plans to open additional fuel stations in Burbank and Santa Monica.

GM, which has spent $1 billion developing fuel-cell vehicles, estimates it would cost $10 billion to $15 billion to set up a nationwide network of 12,000 hydrogen fueling stations. That would be one station at least every five miles in urban areas and every 25 miles on freeways.

"We don't want to be in the fuel business," said John Hughes, a strategic marketing manager for Chevrolet, who was part of a team that showed a fleet of Equinoxes to members of the media in Newport Beach this week.

Hydrogen creates electricity through a catalytic conversion process. The only byproduct is water when hydrogen combines with oxygen – meaning it's totally carbon free, making this type of vehicle especially attractive as concerns rise about global warming.

Hydrogen is already widely produced – used in oil refining and other chemical processes. GM officials said it costs about $2-$3 per kilogram, which can produce about the same energy as a gallon of gasoline.

Refueling the Equinox takes about 5 minutes. It takes Shelton more than five hours to fully recharge his RAV4.

"At this stage, there's no mass market for the EV," Shelton said. "But this (Equinox) program represents a tangible step in that direction."

Fisker: High performance plug-in hybrid coming in 2009
Posted by Michael Kanellos

Fisker Automotive. Think of it as a marriage between the Chevy Volt and the Tesla Roadster.

The company is planning to come to market in about 18 months with a high-performance, high-end, plug-in hybrid sedan. The car will cost $80,000. It will go about 50 miles on a battery charge, which isn't far, but the car will also come with a built-in gas engine that exists primarily to charge the battery. With the charging capability, the car can go hundreds of miles, according to Henrik Fisker, the company's CEO.

With a range of hundreds of miles, the car will go farther than other electric cars coming to market. The new electric cars go only about 225 miles on a single charge at best. Granted, Fisker's car uses a little gas--something electric cars don't--but it won't burn much. This is how the Volt functions. General Motors, however, doesn't plan on coming out with the Volt until 2010. If Fisker hits its goals, it will have cars on the market in 2009. Fisker, though, is also aiming at the luxury end of the market with its alternative car, which makes it like Tesla. Its tag line is "Eco-chic."

Fisker also hopes to come out with SUVs and other types of cars. The drive train comes from Quantum Technologies, by the way. Quantum works with a number of companies and government agencies on alternative fuel vehicles. Initial production will be about 15,000 vehicles a year.

The company will show off a prototype in 80 days at the Detroit Auto Show, according to the company's somewhat cryptic Web site.

In this day and age, it seems everybody has started an alternative car company. There is Tesla, Miles Automotive, Zap and Venture Vehicles. Everyone but my grandmother, and that's because we took her license away.

But Fisker does have something a lot of these other companies don't. Namely, experience in the auto industry. Henrik worked for years at Ford and BMW. He came up with the BMW Z8 and the Aston Martin DB9.

Thanks to Greg King of Wostec for pointing out the Fisker presentation at the Dow Jones Alternative Energy Innovations Conference taking place in Redwood City, Calif., this week.

First pic of Fisker plug-in hybrid luxury car released

Posted Oct 25th 2007 4:29PM by John Neff
Filed under: Detroit Auto Show, Hybrids/Alternative, Sedans/Saloons, Green



Here we have the first image of the upcoming plug-in hybrid luxury car from Fisker set to debut at this year's Detroit Auto Show in January. Developed in conjunction with Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, the plug-in hybrid will cost around $100,000 and initially be built in a run of just 100 units. Fisker hasn't given out any details on the car, like how much power it will produce or what it's fuel economy will be, but from the picture above we can tell it will be a stunner. That's not surprising, as the company's namesake, Henrik Fisker, designed such cars as the BMW Z8, Aston Martin DB9 and V8 Vantage, among others. Though the image is small, we can make out design elements from many other high-end autos including a Ferrari 599-esqe front end, some Maserati Quattroporte in the midsection and, of course, a little Aston in the rear. Check back here in January for some solid info on what this car's all about.

FRANKFURT, Nov 2 (Reuters) - German solar cell maker Ersol (ES6G.DE: Quote, Profile, Research) signed a deal worth 230 million euros ($332.8 million) with German solar module maker Asola for the delivery of solar cells, it said on Friday.

The supply deal will run until 2017 and takes Ersol's order volume for solar cells to more than 3 billion euros, Ersol said in a statement.

"For Ersol, the signing of this contract again offers the chance to further develop the U.S. market, which will become a key market in the future," Ersol Chief Executive Claus Beneking said in a statement.

Asola plans to set up a production facility in the United States together with U.S. company Quantum Technologies (QTWW.O: Quote, Profile, Research), which is currently in the process of acquiring a 24.9-percent stake in Asola.

Asola said it held a stake of less than 20 percent in the U.S. company, which makes packaged fuel systems for specialty vehicles.

Asola also produces solar modules for the automotive industry, for example for the integration in car roofs.

"This delivery agreement (with Ersol) forms the basis for further contracts with even bigger volumes," Reinhard Wecker, managing director at Asola said.

The German solar module maker also plans to expand its production capacity in Germany to about 40 megawatt peak from currently 10 MWp by the end of 2008, investing up to 10 million euros, the company said.

Further expansion into Italy and Spain was also planned, Asola said.

Quantum's Advanced Hydrogen Storage Technology Supports Challenge X Vehicles Exhibited at EVS-23

IRVINE, Calif., Dec. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, (Nachrichten) Inc. today announced its support of the student teams participating in Challenge X: Crossover to Sustainable Mobility. Quantum supplied its advanced hydrogen storage systems to three of the participating teams, as well as providing technical support, safety training, and system commissioning. Quantum's Advanced Vehicle Concept Center in Lake Forest, California also served as a staging and inspection site for Challenge X teams participating in the 23rd International Electric Vehicle Symposium (EVS-23) held in Anaheim, California, Dec. 2-5, 2007.

Challenge X is a unique engineering competition, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy and General Motors, which is providing 17 university teams from across North America the opportunity to follow the GM Global Vehicle Development process and develop advanced propulsion technology solutions that will increase energy efficiency and reduce environmental impact. The teams are using a variety of alternative fuels, including biodiesel (B20), ethanol (E85), reformulated gasoline, and hydrogen, and technologies, including hybrid electric, hydraulic hybrid, and fuel cells. Students are working on a 2005 Chevrolet Equinox, a GM crossover sport utility vehicle platform, and integrating cutting-edge advanced automotive technologies with these alternative fuels to minimize total environmental impact and build a sustainable transportation future.

Quantum supplied its advanced hydrogen storage systems to three teams, namely Pennsylvania State University, Texas Tech University, and the University of Tulsa. These teams are using hydrogen in innovative approaches as a supplementary or secondary propulsion source to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve system efficiency. Penn State is injecting hydrogen into their vehicle's diesel engine as an emissions abatement strategy. The Texas Tech and Tulsa teams are using hydrogen to power auxiliary systems for their vehicles.

"Quantum is proud to support some of the best and brightest engineering students from universities across North America in Challenge X.

Wie viel cash haben die denn eigentlich noch ? Diese verlinkte schöne Präsentation beinhaltet ja auch für Q1 08 noch einen (um Abschreibungen bereinigten) Verlust von über 11 Mio - das kann doch nicht mehr lange gut gehen.

Hallo,
interessiere mich für den Wert und wollte mal fragen ob ihr es für realistisch haltet, dass die in den USA eine Solarproduktion auf die Beine kriegen wie zuletzt in der Ersol PN angedeutet.

[ustrading]

lasst die Finger von Quantum Fuel. Das Management hat in den letzten Jahren einen 3stell. Millionen Betrag vebrannt und eine Fehlentscheidung nach der anderen getroffen. Vor der Tecstar Übernahme stand das Unternehmen auf Fundamentaler Seite (über 80Mio. Cash) auf gesunden Füßen und die Verluste lagen im unteren einstell. Mio.Bereich. Und heute ist aus der Firma nur noch ein Scherbenhaufen, mit einem Schuldenberg der inzwischen fast die aktuelle MK sprengt. Wie wollen die eine PV-Produktion auf die Beine stellen, wenn sie nach wie vor mit ihrem Automobilgeschäft 2stellige Millionebeträge pro Quartal in den Sand setzen ? Meiner Meinung nach, kommt nächstes Jahr das C11 - Tecstar wird über Bord geworfen bzw. das Business eingestellt und man konzentriert sich mit Hilfe neuer Investoren auf das bommende Photvoltaikbusiness.

Wenn ich es im 10-Q richtig verstanden hab, hat der potentielle Tecstar-Käufer erstmal Abstand genommen. Findet sich kein Käufer so muss Tecstar in die Insolvenz. Desweiteren besteht die latente Gefahr eines Delistings von der Nasdaq, da der Kurs schon seit längerem unter 1$ liegt.

Ich bin heut morgen zu € 0,45 mit ca. 60% Verlust raus. Mir wird die Sache zu heiß.

Quantum Technologies Receives Notice Regarding Minimum Bid Price Rule
IRVINE, Calif., Jan. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, (News) Inc. (the "Company") today announced that it received notice on December 28, 2007 from The Nasdaq Stock Market ("NASDAQ") that for 30 consecutive business days the Company's common stock closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued inclusion under Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(5). In accordance with Marketplace Rule 4450(e)(2), the Company has until June 25, 2008, to regain compliance. The notice has no effect on the listing of the Company's securities at this time, and its common stock will continue to trade on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol "QTWW".

The Company can regain compliance if at any time prior to June 25, 2008, the bid price of the Company's common stock closes at $1.00 or higher for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, although NASDAQ may, in its discretion, require the Company to maintain a bid price of at least $1.00 for a period in excess of ten consecutive business days (but generally no more than 20 consecutive business days) before determining that the Company has demonstrated the ability to maintain long-term compliance.

If the Company does not regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement by June 25, 2008, NASDAQ staff will provide the Company with written notification that its securities will be delisted. At that time, the Company may appeal the delisting determination to a Listings Qualifications Panel. Alternatively, the Company may apply to transfer its securities to the NASDAQ Capital Market if it satisfies the requirements for initial inclusion set forth in Marketplace Rule 4310(c), other than the minimum bid price requirement of Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(4). In the event of such a transfer, the Company will be afforded an additional 180 calendar days to comply with the minimum bid price requirement while listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market.

The Company has not yet determined what action, if any, it will take in response to this notice, although the Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its common stock between now and June 25, 2008, and to consider available options if its common stock does not trade at a level likely to result in the Company regaining compliance with the NASDAQ minimum closing bid price requirement.

Quantum Acquires 25% Stake German in Solar Company
IRVINE, Calif., Jan. 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, (News) Inc. today announced that it has completed the acquisition of a 25% equity stake in ASOLA Advanced and Automotive Solar Systems GmbH ("ASOLA"), a leading German solar energy technology company that develops and manufactures high quality and high-efficiency photovoltaic modules for a number of innovative applications, including commercial, residential and automotive.

Based on existing orders and capacity, ASOLA anticipates 2008 revenues in excess of 50 million Euros while generating positive net profits. Currently, ASOLA's order backlog extends for several years, building on the long-term solar cell supply agreement that ASOLA and Quantum entered into with prominent German solar cell manufacturer Ersol. ASOLA continues to expand production capacity at its German facilities to support the high growth the company is experiencing.

As previously announced, ASOLA has signed a long-term supply contract with Ersol Solar Energy AG for the procurement of 155 MW of high-efficiency silicon photovoltaic solar cells, starting in 2008. This agreement guarantees a supply of solar cells to Quantum and ASOLA, thereby avoiding any potential future disruptions due to polysilicon shortages, as have been recently experienced by the solar cell industry. Resulting sales from the supply agreement with Ersol are anticipated to generate US $500 million for ASOLA and Quantum. Quantum and ASOLA intend to jointly utilize the Ersol cells for the manufacture of high quality solar modules for commercial, residential, and automotive applications in both Europe and the United States. This guaranteed supply will enable the expansion of Quantum and ASOLA solar modules into Germany, Spain, Italy, and France as well as into the United States, beginning in California.

Solar energy demand has consistently grown in excess of 25 percent per year in Europe during the past 15 years, and is poised for a period of accelerated growth, especially in California. German solar energy companies have gained significant experience over the past decade in meeting the demand in Germany that consumes over 50 percent of the global solar photovoltaic module manufacturing capacity.

"We are pleased to announce the completion of the acquisition of a 25 percent stake in ASOLA. We believe ASOLA will add positive earnings to our bottom line and move Quantum closer to profitability. ASOLA, which has over 20 years of solar industry experience, has and will continue to provide us access to European alliances and relationships in the rapidly expanding European renewable energy market," said Alan P. Niedzwiecki, President and CEO of Quantum. "Demand for ASOLA's high-quality solar modules continues to grow in the expanding renewable energy markets in Germany, Spain, Italy, and France. Our goal is to produce and make these high-quality solar modules available in the United States as well."

"As a California-based company, we believe that Quantum, together with ASOLA, is well positioned to capitalize on the multi-billion dollar California Solar Initiative, which provides incentives for solar installations over the next decade for residential homes and commercial, industrial, and agricultural properties," added Mr. Niedzwiecki.

"We are excited to be able to announce this contract award for Asola's solar modules so soon after entering into the recently announced long-term photovoltaic cell purchase agreement," said Alan P. Niedzwiecki, President and CEO of Quantum. "Demand for Asola's high-quality solar modules continues to grow in the expanding renewable energy markets in Germany, Spain, Italy, and France. With our supply of solar cells secured, we believe that Quantum and Asola are well-positioned to meet this demand in Europe as well as to capitalize on the opportunities in California and the rest of North America."

The Spanish solar energy market is projected to grow in excess of 67% per year. Both Alan Niedzwiecki and Reinhard Wecker presented Quantum's and Asola's clean energy solutions at 'Genera08' Energy and Environment International Trade-fair in Madrid, Spain, 26-28th of February, 2008.

Quantum Teams with Boeing to Advance Hydrogen Storage Technologies; Selected for $5.6 Million Award from the U.S. Department of Energy
IRVINE, Calif., March 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, (News) Inc. today announced that its proposal to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has been selected for final negotiations for a contract to develop next-generation manufacturing technologies for hydrogen storage vessels. The total value of this project, which will be done in partnership with The Boeing Company (News/Aktienkurs), is $5.6 million over a period of 3 years.

The goal of this project is to leverage the considerable advances in precision composite material processing technologies in the aerospace sector, to develop innovative manufacturing techniques for hydrogen storage tanks, with the intent to significantly drive down costs. The specific objective is to develop and demonstrate an innovative hybrid process which integrates the most optimal features of high precision aerospace and high-speed commercial manufacturing techniques.

Boeing has steadily established itself as a global leader in advanced composite manufacturing technologies, which utilize lightweight, high-precision composite structures for tremendous performance advantage. Quantum's hydrogen storage systems utilize carbon-fiber reinforced composite structures for volumetric and gravimetric efficiency.

As the prime contractor, Quantum will provide overall coordination and leverage its extensive experience in hydrogen systems. Boeing Phantom Works, the company's advanced research and development organization, will adapt precision composite manufacturing technologies that it developed for the aerospace industry. The Quantum-Boeing team has partnered with the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LNNL) and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), to enhance and expand this development program. LLNL will develop a unique high speed composite processing technique, which will be modeled validated by PNNL. The program will highly leverage on the existing expertise of the team members, and will be executed in three phases, starting in 2008.

"Quantum is honored to partner with Boeing on this strategically important program. We are pleased by the comment from the DOE that the Quantum-Boeing team represents a best-of-the-industry partnership," said Quantum's President and CEO, Alan Niedzwiecki. "Quantum, working in concert with the DOE, was the first to develop and certify a high capacity 10,000 psi hydrogen system, which has evolved as the industry standard, supporting a number of hydrogen vehicle programs today. This important program will take hydrogen storage technology one step closer to mass-commercialization."

IRVINE, Calif., April 9, 2008, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, Inc. (QTWW), today announced that the Quantum-powered Fisker Karma, a high-performance hybrid sports sedan built through a partnership with Fisker Automotive, is featured in the April 2008 edition of the Robb Report Collection.

The article highlights the breakthrough "eco-chic" hybrid design from renowned Danish designer Henrik Fisker that runs on Quantum Technologies' "Q-Drive" -- a fully electric-powered system that offers zero-emissions, no compromise on power, and achieves 100 miles per gallon.

The innovative Q-Drive is a hybrid propulsion system configured with a small gasoline engine used solely to power an electric generator that charges a lithium-ion battery pack. The advanced propulsion system can take the Karma from 0 to 60 mph in 5.8 seconds, reaching speeds in excess of 125 mph.

Quantum's Q-Drive technology will provide a base for all future derivatives from Fisker Automotive and moves Quantum one-step closer to its goal of becoming the premier, fully integrated alternative energy company. In addition to supplying the Q-Drive, each Fisker Karma will incorporate Quantum-Asola's solar roof, produced through Quantum's partner, the German-based solar module manufacturer, Asola.

Fisker expects to deliver 100 of the luxury hybrids by the end of 2009 with full production commencing in 2010. For more information, visit http://www.qtww.com or http://www.fiskerautomotive.com

Durch ihre Beteiligung bei Asola ist Quantum gut positioniert bei der solaren Mobilität, glaube ich. Und das könnte ein Megatrend werden.

Aus dem yahoo-board:

This is really BIG!!!
I actually noticed this news on Friday evening. Wonder if the rise on Friday was due to some inside knowledge. Was hoping it wasn't posted until later this morning.
15,000 (cars) times 80K = 1.2B in sales.
I believe they will all sell - gas is hitting 4 bucks in parts of the country now.
All hybrids produced over the next 5 years should be bought as quickly as they're made.

Have you heard the sounds on that video - unlike any car I've ever heard and watch how the car accelerates.

So much for the Naysayers and bashers who said they wouln't be able to deliver this.

I believe they are ahead of schedule. Who needs Tesla's secrets - this is What Quantum does best.

Fisker Automotive's Karma Prototype on the Test Track for Initial Development
Tuesday May 13, 8:45 am ET
First Production Car from Green American Premium Sports Car Company Remains on Track for 2009 Delivery


IRVINE, Calif., May 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Fisker Automotive, Inc. and Quantum Technologies (Nasdaq: QTWW - News) announced today they are performing initial vehicle testing and fine tuning the battery software management system for the Fisker Karma plug-in hybrid production car. These initial test track developments are taking place in Southern California.
ADVERTISEMENT


Three Fisker Karma prototypes have been built, and are currently undergoing testing for the electric powertrain developed by Quantum Technologies. Concurrently, the Fisker Automotive engineering team is working on crash test simulation. Further validation and certification on the vehicles will be performed over the coming months.

"We are very excited about the initial test results of the Fisker Karma prototype," said Henrik Fisker, CEO, Fisker Automotive. "The vehicle dynamics and fuel economy have performed better than expected and we remain on target for our fourth quarter 2009 initial delivery."

In sport mode the Fisker Karma will offer a continuous top speed of 125 miles per hour (200km/h). Electric only, or stealth mode, is capped at 95 miles per hour (150 km/h). Preliminary testing of the lithium-ion battery that powers the Fisker Karma has indicated a life expectancy of more than 10 years.

Configured to meet the demands of today's driver, the Fisker Karma's proprietary design allows consumers to drive the car emission free for up to 50 miles a day provided the car is charged every evening. With more than 80 percent of daily commuters driving less than 50 miles (80 km) a day, consumers who drive the Fisker Karma could conceivably only need to refuel the car but once a year.

Fisker Automotive is preparing to deliver its first Premium Edition vehicles by fourth quarter 2009. Currently, Fisker Automotive has received more than 500 orders for the Fisker Karma since its 2008 debut at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in January. Fisker Automotive will reach a full production of 1,250 vehicles per month by the end of 2010. The starting estimated MSRP for the Fisker Karma will be approximately $80,000 or EURO 80,000.

Fisker Automotive, Inc.

Fisker Automotive is a privately owned car company with Henrik Fisker as the CEO. Fisker Coachbuild, LLC will be the exclusive design house for Fisker Automotive through the entire range of product development. The company has backing from Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and Palo Alto Investors.

About Quantum Technologies (NASDAQ: QTWW - News):

Quantum is a publicly traded, world leader and OEM supplier of state-of-the-art clean propulsion technologies, fuel and energy storage technologies and services including propulsion systems for hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, hydrogen internal combustion engine vehicles, compressed natural gas vehicles, liquid petroleum vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids based on advanced electronic control systems and Lithium Ion batteries developed by Quantum's strategic alliance partner.

Quantum and Asola Awarded $17 Million Solar Module Supply Contract by a Leading German Solar System Supplier
IRVINE, Calif., May 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, (News) Inc. today announced that its German solar partner, Asola Advanced and Automotive Solar Systems GmbH, has won a $17 million contract from Sunworx GmbH, for the supply of high-efficiency silicon photovoltaic solar modules. Sunworx, which is one of the leading solar system suppliers in Germany, will take delivery of these modules in 2008.

"Sunworx is notable for their innovative solutions, consistent growth and long-term business success. Asola is pleased to partner with this dynamic company, as they share our passion for the highest quality and reliability," said Asola's founder and CEO, Reinhard Wecker.

Quantum and Asola have recently announced tripling of solar module production capacity in Germany, by fall 2008. Quantum holds a 25% stake in Asola, and is in discussions towards an expanded partnership. Asola and Quantum have entered into a long-term supply agreement with Ersol Solar Energy AG for the procurement of 155 MW of high-efficiency silicon photovoltaic solar cells, starting in 2008. The Ersol agreement and additional supply contracts with other leading suppliers such as MOTECH and Sunergy guarantee a steady supply of solar cells to Quantum and Asola, thereby avoiding any potential future disruptions due to silicon shortages, as have been recently experienced by the solar cell industry. Resulting sales from these supply agreements are anticipated to generate in excess of US $600 million for Asola and Quantum.

"Demand for peak power is growing at twice the rate as the overall electricity market," commented Alan P. Niedzwiecki, President and CEO of Quantum. "Solar systems are ideally suited to meet local peak power demands, and are increasingly favored by major utility companies to meet their renewable energy portfolio requirements. We believe that Quantum and Asola are well-positioned to meet this demand in Europe as well as to capitalize on the opportunities in California and the rest of North America."

ORLANDO, Fla., May 29, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- RedChip Companies, Inc. announced today that the Fisker Karma, the first of its kind plug-in hybrid premium sports sedan created by Fisker Automotive, an affiliate of Quantum Fuel Systems Worldwide, Inc., will be showcased at the RedChip Small-Cap Investor Conference at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco, California, June 5, 2008, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. PDT. The conference will feature presentations by the CEOs and executive teams of numerous emerging small-cap companies, including Quantum.

The Karma is powered by Quantum's Q Drive advanced hybrid drive system, developed exclusively for Fisker Automotive by Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide. Henrik Fisker, whose portfolio includes Aston Martin's DB9 and BMW's Z8 roadster, designed the Karma in aims of changing the face of the automotive industry.

The luxury sports sedan can be driven emission free for up to 50 miles per day on a full charge and can reach a top speed of 128 miles per hour and 0-60 in 5.8 seconds, providing eco-conscious drivers a way to ride in style without compromise on power. Venture capitalists such as Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers are involved and made a significant investment in Quantum's Fisker Automotive affiliate, as well as General Motors, who owns a 7% interest in Quantum. The Fisker Karma is being produced in Detroit, with the first cars expected for delivery in late 2009.

Other companies presenting at the conference include scientific pioneers RXi Pharmaceuticals Corp., founded by Nobel laureate Craig Mello, Ph.D., who received the 2006 Nobel Prize in Medicine with his colleague, Andrew Fire, Ph.D., for their groundbreaking research in RNA interference (RNAi); mining leaders Minco Silver Corp., a Canadian-based company developing what may be the largest silver mine in China; and India Globalization Capital, Inc., the only Indian infrastructure company currently trading in the United States.

RedChip investor conferences are a nationally known forum for emerging small-cap companies to present their stories before hundreds of retail brokers, institutional brokers, fund managers, portfolio managers, accredited investors, and research analysts whose disciplined focus towards the small-cap markets represents their core investment strategies.


Schön, es wird an an Fronten etwas getan - das lob ich mir !

Wir werden mit QTWW noch viel Freude haben, wenn man seine shares länger liegen läßt

Ich hoffe das die schlechten Jahreszahlen bald der Vergangenheit angehören und wir in den schwarzen Bereich fahren.... Gute Autos werden das (Fisker).... verdammt gut. Hoffe bald in D auch so einen zu fahren

... und wenn nicht, dann kauf ich eben den Cheetah und gurke hier rum

bei 5 hätten wir eine mcap von ca. 400mio dollar, kannst du mir erklären wie du das rechtfertigst?

[ustrading]

.... der Kurs wird ja nicht wg. der aktuellen Fundamentals so hoch getrieben. Die Company steht wieder einmal im Umbruch und das Management ist immer noch das gleiche

Immerhin ist man sein verlustbringedes Tecstar Business wieder los, was man einst sehr teuer erkauft hatte. Die Märkte in dem Quantum nun tätig ist bzw. fokusiert (Hybrid und Solar) sind nun mal sehr Heiß und ziehen das Kapital z.T. magisch an ... und genau dieses Kapital hat das Unternehmen aber auch nötig. Ein Blick auf die Verschuldung & Cash und die geplanten Projekte und es wird klar, alle Zeichen stehen für eine neue Kapitalerhöhung, nachdem wir die 3USD geknackt haben

Aber wer weiß, jetzt wo sich Bosch die Ersol AG geschnappt haben, werden sie evtl. auch auf Quatum aufmerksam (siehe der Deal im März) .... eine Menge Phantasie steckt in dem Stock auf jedenfall ... aber dabei nicht den rechtzeitigen Ausstieg vergessen

Andere unterstreichen das.

Aber weiter zu meinen Ansichten:

Ich fahre beruflich sehr viel Auto und alle zwei jahre wechsele ich meinen PKW. Bisher hatte ich immer Diesel, das macht bei der momentanen Preispolitik wohl wenig Sinn, wie jeder verstehen wird.
ich bin kein Markenfreak und wenn ich sehe, was mit Fisker (und sicher auch bald mit anderen, viel gewichtigeren Marken) passiert, dann zähle ich 2 und zwei zusammen = Hybrid/Solar und andere Ersatzrohstoffe bzw. Antriebe.

Ich denke und hoffe, hier wird nun besser gewirtschaftet und die letzten news stimmen mich positiv, dass die schwarzen Zahlen nicht mehr so fern sind.

Die Zukunft ist nicht der Kraftstoff, den wir nun immer teurer einkaufen werden....

Fisker lands European distributor

U.S. dealer network coming next year
Craig Trudell
Automotive News Europe | June 19, 2008 06:01 CET

Fisker Automotive Inc. has named its latest importer overseas, where it eventually plans to sell more than half of the units of its debut car, the hybrid plug-in Karma sedan.

Nellemann Holding AS will distribute the Karma to Denmark, Sweden and Norway. Shipments of the Karma to Europe are expected to begin in 2009.

“We are extremely pleased to bring Nellemann on board as our latest international distributor,” Vic Doolan, Fisker’s director of retail development, said in a statement released Wednesday by the company based in Irvine, Calif.

Fisker set up its first overseas importer, Fisker Italia, this year.

Annual production for Fisker is expected to reach 15,000 cars. Fisker said it has received more than 800 overseas orders for the Karma.

Fisker also said it has heard from 44 domestic retailers interested in selling the Karma in the United States. CEO Henrik Fisker told Automotive News earlier this year the company’s goal was to sign 25 dealers by summer and about 40 by the time of the Karma launch.

The automaker said it plans to reveal its U.S. dealer network by the second quarter of 2009. The Karma is projected to arrive to those dealers by the fourth quarter of 2009.

Fisker's Quantum-Powered Luxury Hybrid Sports Sedan Featured in U.K. CAR Magazine
IRVINE, Calif., June 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, (News) Inc. , today announced that the Quantum-powered Fisker Karma, a high-performance hybrid sports sedan built through a partnership with green automaker, Fisker Automotive, Inc., is featured in the July 2008 edition of the CAR Magazine, a U.K. publication focusing on trends and technology in the automotive industry.

"We're very excited to see the car featured in such a popular publication," said Alan P. Niedzwiecki, president and CEO of Quantum. "We continue to see growing interest in the Karma, both from traditional car enthusiasts and eco-conscious drivers around the world."

The five-page article by Ben Oliver is part of a feature entitled, "Cars to Save the Car," and highlights the unique features of the Karma, as designed by the CEO of Fisker Automotive, Henrik Fisker, who formerly designed the Aston Martin's DB9 and BMW's Z8 roadster. The piece details Fisker's success in creating a car that delivers high-speed performance, luxury style, and zero-emissions, all at a reasonable price tag for a luxury sports sedan of US$80,000. The Fisker Karma, as Oliver notes, is one of the first green technology vehicles "to go on sale in big numbers, at a viable price and to make a major dent on emissions and oil use."

Quoting Henrik Fisker in the article, Oliver writes: "'Usually, enthusiasts are the first to buy a new car, environmentalists the last. We've united the two. You don't get as much reaction in a cool sports car now; people don't look at you and say 'lucky guy.' That's why you see movie stars in Priuses. People are just amazed and surprised that they can now have a truly sexy environmental car. This is the car they've been waiting for. Consumers are ahead of the car companies' here.'"

The car's power comes from Quantum Technologies' innovative Q-Drive, which is a hybrid propulsion system configured with a small gasoline engine used solely to power an electric generator that charges a lithium-ion battery pack. The advanced propulsion system takes the Karma from 0 to 60 mph in 5.8 seconds, reaching speeds in excess of 125 mph. Quantum's Q-Drive technology will provide a base for all future derivatives from Fisker Automotive.

In addition to supplying the Karma's advanced electric drive motor and lithium-ion battery and control systems, Quantum also supplies the car's regenerative braking system, generator, power inverters and the electronics and software systems. Quantum's German engineering partner, Asola, supplies the Karma's rooftop solar panels, which provide an additional power source for the car.

Fisker expects to deliver 100 of the luxury hybrids by the end of 2009 with full production commencing in 2010.

Die Tage von Autos mit konventionellem Benzin- oder Dieselmotor sind einer Studie zufolge gezählt.
Schon ab 2010 würden Elektroautos und Fahrzeuge mit sogenanntem Hybridantrieb die Pkw mit klassischem Verbrennungsmotor verdrängen, sagte Autoexperte Ferdinand Dudenhöffer vom Center of Automotive Research (CAR) an der Fachhochschule Gelsenkirchen dem Abendblatt. "Schon 2015 werden von den dann zugelassenen 16,5 Millionen Neuwagen in Europa 3,3 Millionen einen Elektroantrieb haben."

----------
Anstelle eines Billigfahrzeugs wolle die Rüsselsheimer Tochter von General Motors (GM) ein reines Elektroauto auf den Markt bringen, berichtete die Branchenzeitschrift "Auto Motor und Sport" am Wochenende vorab unter Berufung auf den GM-Europachef Carl-Peter Forster.

Hannover/Wien. Elektroautos und Hybridfahrzeuge stoßen nach einer Umfrage des Autozulieferers Continental weltweit auf großes Interesse.

Jetzt geht der Wettlauf los!

[bimfood]

habe erst jetzt von der konferrenz gehört.

hat jemand gestern an der konferrenz "teilgenommen" oder sich das playback angehört? was gibts neues?

bei dem kursverlauf kanns so schlecht ja nicht gewesen sein

[coolrunning]

Die Zahlen sind meines Erachtens so ungefähr im Rahmen dessen, was ich erwartet habe. Jeder Analyst kann das aber anders sehen und wie wir wissen, sehen es einige schlechter, die ein Interesse haben zu shorten oder günstig einzusteigen (oder ihre "Mandanten") und einige sehen es besser.....


Fakt ist:
Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide Inc. (QTWW: News, Chart, Quote ) reported a narrower loss for the fourth quarter, helped by higher hydrogen-based hybrid and fuel cell hybrid vehicle product sales. The company's top-line more than tripled over the year-ago quarter.

For the fourth quarter, net loss narrowed to $4.7 million, or $0.06 a share, from $16.2 million, or $0.25 a share, in the fourth quarter last year. Last year quarter included net loss from discontinued operations of $10.6 million, or $0.16 a share. Analysts polled by First Call/Thomson Financial expected loss of $0.05 per share for the quarter.

Total revenue for the quarter more than tripled to $9.7 million from $3.1 million a year ago, mainly due to increased hydrogen-based hybrid and fuel cell hybrid vehicle product sales and higher contract revenue.

Operating loss narrowed to $4.6 million from $5.3 million in the prior year quarter.

For fiscal 2008, net loss narrowed to $85.0 million, or $1.11 a share, from $140.5 million, or $2.28 a share, last year. Annual revenues grew 50% to $26.5 million from $17.7 million a year ago.


Die Einnahmen haben sich also verdreifacht gegenüber Quartal Vorjahr, die Schulden werden reduziert....
Wir sind auf einem guten Weg, bald in die schwarzen Zahlen zu kommen. Die Aktie ist sowieso nur etwas für Longies, finde ich, obwohl der signifikante Kursanstieg der letzten 6 Monate zu Gewinnmitnahmen anregt.
Ich bleibe hier noch lange dabei, denn dieser Bereich ist die Zukunft und QTWW wird gut positioniert sein.


Aussichten / Stärken / Vorteile:

- Fisker & Quantum Zusammenarbeit
- Anbahnung mit mehreren großen Firmen im Bereich Q-drive
- Agreement mit Boeing
- Top Leute im BoD mit Perkins und Kleiner
- Alle Fahrzeuge sind verkauft worden
- Bis zum 2011 beträgt die Jahreskapazität 15000
- Bis jetzt schon 40 Verkaufsstellen in USA
- Zusammenarbeit Army für Fahrzeuge und Solar
- Vor kurzem unterzeichnete Verkaufsstellen: Fisker Italien
- bedeutende Entwicklungen in Skandinavien
- erste Brennstofftankstelle durch Shell und Partner am JFK
- Verkäufe vom Quantum Prius in Norwegen
- 24,9 % Anteil Asola Solar - Erhöhung...

... und und und....


Hier wird wirklich gut gearbeitet.

Mein Tip: Liegen lassen und in ein zwei Jahren wieder ansehen.

(Dies ist keine Kaufempfehlung)

Fisker Automotive Announces a Letter of Intent for Assembly Contract With Valmet Automotive
Tuesday July 15, 12:00 am ET
Valmet to Serve as Global Manufacturing Facility, Fisker Automotive
Strategy Sees Manufacturing Facility in the US for Future Models


IRVINE, Calif., July 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Fisker Automotive, Inc., a green American premium car company, today announced that Valmet Automotive will manufacture its first production car, the Fisker Karma. Known for producing high quality specialty cars like the Porsche Boxster and Cayman for Porsche AG, the Finland-based contract manufacturer brings to the Fisker Karma 40 years of experience of working with OEM customers and their wide ranging engineering and production needs.


When the Fisker Karma begins rolling off the Valmet assembly line in the fourth quarter of 2009, it will mark the first ever plug-in hybrid 4 door sports sedan to hit the market. With 50 miles of electric range and more than 350 miles of total range, the Fisker Karma with its proprietary Q-DRIVE powertrain developed by Quantum Technologies, will have the potential for a fuel economy of over 100 miles per gallon (MPG) on extended drives. Boasting a top speed of 125mph and 0-60 acceleration in less than 6 seconds, the Fisker Karma is poised to be the world's first true luxury plug-in hybrid sports car.

"After an exhaustive global search, we are thrilled to have found the ideal manufacturing partner in Valmet Automotive," said Fisker Automotive CEO, Henrik Fisker. "Valmet offers us the quality and speed necessary to meet our production goals and given that more than half of Fisker Automotive's sales are expected to be outside of North America, Valmet represents an ideal international foothold. We do have a strategic plan to utilize an American manufacturing site for future models of the Fisker Karma."

"It is forecasted that the market of environmentally-friendly electric vehicles will grow very fast and we are proud to be in the pole position in this growth," says Ilpo Korhonen, President of Valmet Automotive. "Fisker Automotive leads the way by adapting the most innovative technologies to new, environmentally-friendly premium cars. The strategic partnership with Fisker Automotive will open a new window for Valmet Automotive. Our production process can be easily adapted to the production of electric and hybrid cars and new body designs. In line with our renewed strategy, engineering will have a strong role in the cooperation."

"Our mission at Fisker Automotive is to develop beautiful, environmentally friendly cars that make environmental sense without compromise -- be it quality-wise or cost-wise," Fisker continued. "Valmet Automotive has the track-record, high quality technology and has the dedicated resources to take us there, and their high tech production line with eco-friendly automated paints agrees with our ideology."

Initial domestic deliveries of Fisker Automotive's first car, the Karma, will commence in the 4th quarter of 2009 in North America with planned delivery to Europe in 2010. Fisker Automotive's annual production is projected to reach 15,000 cars, with more than half of sales expected to be overseas.

Fisker Automotive, Inc.

Fisker Automotive is a privately owned car company with Henrik Fisker as the CEO. Fisker Coachbuild, LLC will be the exclusive design house for Fisker Automotive through the entire range of product development. The company has backing from Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and Palo Alto Investors

WIE IST DEINE MEINUNG ZU DEN WERT,wie seht ihr das potenzial

[coolrunning]

Es werden Leute gesucht - Mitarbeiter gebraucht

http://jobsearch.monster.com/Search.aspx?re=12&brd=1&jsnonre…

QTWW hat für Long-Investoren - meiner Meinung nach - ein gewaltiges Potential.
Es sitzen absolute Fachleute oben drin und die Zukunftsaussichten sind bei der Preisentwicklung ja wohl keine Frage mehr....

Die Kooperationen und Beteiligungen werden dazu führen, das endlich schwarze zahlen geschrieben werden, denn wo entwickelt wird, da hat man erst einmal Schulden....

Die Quartals- und folglich auch das Jahresergebnis werden Antworten geben.... und dann sehen wir hier andere Kurse.

Mal sehen wie es mit Asola, FRPT usw. sich entwickelt...

Liegen lassen und später wieder anschauen....

Keine Kaufempfehlung, sondern nur meine Meinung....

[coolrunning]

Mal wieder zur Erinnerung, mit welchem schönen Auto wir rechnen können... einfach herrlich:

http://www.autobild.de/artikel/vorstellung-fisker-karma_5227…

...und weitere Informationen/Zusammenfassungen:

Hybrids and Solar
1. GM owns 6% of QTWW.
2. Auto makers are really concentrating on Electric Vehicles now!
3. The Battery we use is Li-Manganese provided by ALP (Advanced Lithium Power) it has 2 X the power and 1/2 the weight of other Li-ion batteries. ALP has been manufacturing these batteries for Milwaukee Tool for some time now. (My assumption here: QTWW can buy the battery cells now, assemble them in a larger package and use them for the Fiskar now! or Fiskar can do the same thing)
4. The Fiskar vehicle will have a solar panel roof, to help charge the batteries. Asola of Europe makes the solar panels. Asola sells Photo Voltaic panels in Europe now. When a customer buys a Fiskar vehicle they can also buy the solar panels for their home as an added feature!
5. Fiskar will have two models of the Karma, a 2 dr........ version and a 4 dr version that looks just as sleek as the 2 dr.
6. Fiskar was founded by QTWW. Henry Fiskar, who designed the Aston Martin, BMW and Ford models needed someone to form corp. QTWW did that and owns 60% of Fiskar. (Later in Q&A they said 33% of Fiskar.) ???
7. Fiskar will be a Hybrid composed of Q-Drive and a small, 2.0 Liter gasoline engine used to charge batteries.
8. Fiskar Karma can hit 125 mph, accelerate from 0 to 60 in 5.3 seconds, delivers 400 HP from electric motor (400 HP?!! I am not sure I heard that right) Over 100 MPG average using electric (Plug in power) but with engine on full for long trip expect 40 mpg.
9. Venture Capital firm Kliener Perkins also interested in QTWW (important to me because they also invest in EEstor which is developing an Ultra Capacitor for ZENN motor cars. Big deal really! check out ZENN stock symbol ZNNMF in USA, ZMC in Canada, I think?
10. QTWW thinks Fiskar will produce $600 million in 2010 and $1.3 Billion in 2011. Will have a 2 dr, 4 dr. Crossover and SUV by then.
11. Vehicle will be manufactured by Valmet of Finland, who not builds the Porsche.
12. Fiskar is now worth $250 million
13, Q-drive power train now costs $30 K. Mass production will lower this to $10K by 2011. Expect to build 50 cars in 2009, already ordered by celebrities like Al Gore, Arnold Scwartzneger etc. 7500 vehicles in 2010 and 15K vehicles in 2011. Plan to build a car selling for $35 K to $40K K in 2011.
14, QTWW investor and wife own Shangrila Hotels in Asia. Will place one or two Fiskars in every hotel lobby!

ASOLA (German solar panel co. )
1. QTWW has 53% stake.
2. Asola has 70 to 80 million in revs.
3. Solar panels sold in Europe.
4. Expanding venture to Italy, France, Japan and California!
5. QTWW owns 50% of each, will also include China, Singapore, and Thailand
6. Revenue expected to be $180 Million in next 12 mo. Could hit 300 million in 2011.
7. QTWW to own 85% of USA (California) Asola business producing 45 Megawatt of solar panels/year.

Advanced Lithium Power (ALP)
1. Lithium Manganese batteries 1/2 the size, 1/2 the weight, 2X the energy density and keep cool while charging or in use. Have 6 to 8 times the lifespan of other Li-ion batteries. This is a BIG DEAL with auto manufacturers.
2. Auto Co's VERY interested in this technology.
3. Quantum has "exclusive rights" to battery technology (what in cars? because Milwaukee Tool has tool rights I'd say)

Military (Aggressor Vehicle)
1. Aggressor has 3X to 4X the power of a Dodge Viper!
2. A contract for development work has been awarded by Delta Force.
3. Pentagon has mandated a 2% per year reduction in fuel usage by millitary. Agressor uses small diesel engine to charge batteries and is SILENT. (??? how do they do that???)
4. Next generation of Aggressor coming out in the spring of 2009. Can be airlifted by Osprey.

Hydrogen Tanks and Filling Stations
1, QTWW has made money on building high pressure, light weight, hydrogen and CNG tanks. Tanks resemble a plastic bottle with carbon fiber wrapped around it. No problem with corrosion from Hydrogen.
2. QTWW to make money on tanks, hoses, fittings etc. needed for Hydrogen filling stations.

Q&A
1, Value of partnerships? Asola=$250 mil. Fiskar=$250 mil. ALP= growing Military= ???
2. Who else is intersted in QTWW Hydrogen tech? Aerovironment, Boeing, LMT and others.
3. QTWW value vs. SP? QTWW value much higher than current SP (of course! what did you expect! Duh!)
4. At what point will a decline in Oil prices damage QTWW's business plan? $60 per bbl. According to expert analyst advising QTWW expect oil to hit $200 to $300/bbl. Gasoline at $5 to $9 per gal in 2009 to 2010.
5. What is QTWW stake in Fiskar? 33% or 33% of $250 million.
6. WB group hitting SP, How many convertable shares do they own? They own a lot $16 Million worth. Have sold $8 million, so they have 8 million to go. They will sell $6 million in next 6 mo. Expect them to convert at $2.50 and higher. It is to their advantage to hold out for higher.
7. How do you plan to finance 60% to 85% of Asola USA plant? Private financing of $10 million. See PR in next 3 months. Location for plant in mind.
8. Aggressor status? Working on testing and change orders. Expecting orders. QTWW may partner with defense co. (for production, I assume)
9. Asola investment? Late this year or early next. QTWW will take 8% positioin in Asola.
10. CNG Business? QTWW and GM are the only CNG producers for 20 K vehicles. QTWW does all the mfg of tanks and parts. QTWW trains GM trainers, stockpiles 10 years worth of parts to support CNG vehicles. QTWW CNG injector expensive but the best. Working on bringing down cost. Waiting for more business from GM on CNG.Also may get business from large truck fleet owner.
8. Who owns CNG business? Fuel Systems. QTWW spun off from Fuel Systems. We have a deal with Chinese to make CNG tanks for China, India and Europe. Meeting with Indian Tata Motors re: CNG this week. FSI has good relationship with US auto makers, we are in good position.
9. Is QTWW building a power plant for FPI Cheetah or other Hummer type vehicle? No, Relationship with FPI was with former management through TechStar. No relationship now. We could build a Q-Drive for Cheetah but it would have to be much larger and FPI would need to pay for the cost of development. Our replacement for the Humvee is the Aggressor.
10. How are you going to pay for all of this? Founded Fiskar with no money expended. Got 68% of company. Fiskar raised its own money. We are now getting $15 million from Fiskar for Q-Drive. We created our own customer.
Asola? Founded, Paid $400 million for 33% of co. now co making 1 to 2 million per year. Asola? It cost us little to buy into the co with an $800 Mil. market cap.Solar plant will require $10 million. We will not build other plants. We will subcontract to Magna of Canada and Valmet of Finland
11. What about Nissan battery? 1/2 weight, 2X power? Same technology as ours. Li-Manganese. Jelly roll construction, doesn't heat up as much as Li-cobalt of Cell Phone fame. Lots of interest in Li-Manganese tech.
None of the automakers make their own battery. None in production now. We started 2 1/2 years ago. have lots of experience with safety, heat build up , environmental concerns. ALP now building 2 million units per year for Milwaukee power tools.
12. Memory effect? require discharge cycle before charge? No memory effect. No need to discharge etc. Battery expected to retain 80% recharge capability for 10 years. Working on extending this to 12 to 15 years. We own 35% of ALP on a diluted basis. \
13. What is pressure capability of tanks? Hydrogen tanks can take 5,000 to 10,000 psi. CNG tanks rated at 3000 to 5000 psi
14. How do you monitize holdings? Take a majority position in co's. Battery project will monitize itself.

EU will Produktion von Wasserstoffautos ankurbeln
aus orf.at

Die EU will der Produktion von Wasserstoffautos einen Schub geben: Das EU-Parlament ermächtigte heute die EU-Kommission, europaweit einheitliche Zulassungsregeln für die umweltfreundlichen Fahrzeuge festzulegen.

Damit sollen die Hersteller zur Serienproduktion von Wasserstoffautos ermuntert werden, von denen nach Angaben der EU-Kommission bisher nur wenige Prototypen auf europäischen Straßen fahren.

Ohne einheitliches Zulassungsverfahren bestünde für die Autobauer das Risiko, jedes neue Modell mit Wasserstoffantrieb in allen 27 EU-Staaten einzeln genehmigen lassen zu müssen. Der Parlamentsbeschluss sei "ein großer Schritt vorwärts für die Einführung von Wasserstoffautos", erklärte EU-Industriekommissar Günter Verheugen.

Quantum Technologies Reports Fiscal 2009 First Quarter Financial Results

IRVINE, Calif., Sept. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, (News) Inc. , a leader in the development and production of advanced propulsion systems, energy storage technologies, and alternative fuel vehicles and applications including hydrogen fuel cell, hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and alternative fuel vehicles, today reported results for the three month period ended July 31, 2008. Conference call information is provided below.

First Quarter Operating Results

Total revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 was $3.7 million compared to $3.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008, a net increase of 6%. The increase in consolidated net revenue was mainly due to higher development program revenues, partially offset by lower product sales. The Company's consolidated operating loss increased from $5.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 to $6.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The increase was primarily due to lower gross profits on product sales and in part to the costs and product delays incurred in connection with the consolidation of our engineering and manufacturing operations during the first quarter of fiscal 2009.

The Quantum Fuel Systems operating segment loss increased $0.4 million, or 14%, from $2.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 to $3.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. Corporate segment expenses remained unchanged at $2.9 million. The shared-based compensation expense related to FAS 123R was $0.6 million and depreciation and amortization expense was $0.9 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2009. Cash used from operations during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 was $1.4 million.

Contract revenue for the Quantum Fuel Systems segment increased $1.4 million, or 67%, from $2.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 to $3.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The increase was primarily due to higher development program revenues arising from the Fisker Karma plug-in hybrid development program, military programs and other advanced propulsion system development programs. Product sales for the Quantum Fuel Systems segment decreased $1.3 million from $1.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 to $0.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The decrease was primarily the result of the completion of the GM Equinox program which occurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008.

Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt

On May 30, 2008, the Company closed a series of transactions with its secured lender, pursuant to which the Company: (i) received $7.5 million in proceeds from a new loan, (ii) replaced an unexercised $5.0 million investment commitment from the lender with a new $10.0 million investment commitment, and (iii) substantially amended the terms of its outstanding borrowings under its $16.2 million Convertible Promissory Note and its $10.0 million Term Note B.

The May 2008 modifications to the Convertible Note include (i) adding a provision that entitles the holder to receive a "Make Whole Amount" upon conversion of all or part of the principal amount due under the Convertible Note, (ii) restricting the amount of principal that can be converted prior to November 30, 2008 to $8.0 million, subject to certain limited exceptions, and (iii) eliminating the anti-dilution conversion price reset provision. The Make Whole Amount is the sum of each interest coupon that the holder would otherwise have been paid through the extended maturity date (July 1, 2012) on the portion of the principal converted and is payable in shares of our common stock. The number of shares of our common stock issuable in payment of the Make-Whole Amount is determined by dividing the Make-Whole Amount by $1.50. The May 2008 modifications did not reset or change the Convertible Notes principal conversion price of $1.35.

The May 2008 modifications to the $10.0 million Term Note B changed the formula used to determine the principal amount due and payable, thus increasing the maximum principal amount potentially payable under the Term Note B by $15.0 million. The Note was also amended to preclude any prepayment of principal until January 17, 2010. The maximum number of shares issuable in payment of the principal due under the Term Note B remains fixed at 15.0 million.

The May 2008 modifications were considered to be substantial and there was as an implied exchange of debt instruments as prescribed by Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 96-19, "Debtor's Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments," and EITF 06-06, "Debtor's Accounting for a Modification (or Exchange) of Convertible Debt Instruments." In accordance with EITF 96-19 and EITF 06-06, the Convertible Note and Term Note B instruments, with outstanding carrying values of $21.6 million ($16.2 million principal plus unamortized premium and accrued interest) and $10.0 million, respectively, just prior to the amendments, were considered replaced by the amended debt instruments and thus the instruments are required to be revalued. The revaluation considers the explicit value of the modifications as well as the implicit value of the conversion prices in relation to the market price of the Company's common stock on May 30, 2008, which was $2.43 per share. The amended Convertible Note and the amended Term Note B were revalued at $45.1 million and $26.3 million, respectively. The fair values of these two debt instruments are significantly higher than their carrying values primarily as a result of the differences between the contractual conversion prices and principal multipliers in relation to the closing market price of our common stock ($2.43 per share) on the date of the May 2008 modifications.

The replacement of the debt instruments resulted in a total non-cash charge of $39.8 million recorded during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 that is included in loss from continuing operations. The charge represents the difference between the carrying balance of the notes and the estimated fair values of the notes as amended. Since the implied premium totaling $39.8 million is presumed to represent equity in accordance with Accounting Principals Board (APB) 14, "Accounting for Convertible Debt," the implied premium is recorded as additional paid-in-capital under stockholders' equity.

Discontinued Operations

The Tecstar Automotive Group business segment ceased operations on January 16, 2008 upon transfer of substantially all of its assets to an affiliate of our lender. Accordingly, the activities of the Tecstar Automotive Group reporting segment are reported as discontinued operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The discontinued operations of the Tecstar Automotive Group business segment generated losses, net of tax effects, of $61.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008.

The Company's net loss from continuing operations increased from $5.8 million, or $0.08 a share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 to $47.2 million, or $0.59 a share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The Company's net loss decreased from $66.8 million, or $0.94 a share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 to $47.2 million, or $0.59 a share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2009.

Recent Equity Financing

On August 25, 2008, the company completed a direct registered offering of common stock with a single institutional investor. The aggregate proceeds, before deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses, were $19.1 million.

Alan P. Niedzwiecki, President and CEO, stated, "The operating results during the quarter were impacted by low product sales as a result of the conclusion of shipments during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 of fuel systems for GM's Equinox Fuel Cell Hybrid vehicle. Development program activity remains strong and we are transitioning resources into our 'close-to-market' customer funded hybrid vehicle development programs -- which includes the Fisker Karma. Quantum continues to support next-generation vehicle development programs for General Motors and other vehicle manufacturers, but we expect product sales to remain light until the launch of certain vehicle programs in calendar 2009. Over the next year, we are expecting continued growth in our hybrid development programs as a result of our programs with Fisker Automotive and other automotive OEM customers, the military and government agencies."

Niedzwiecki continued, "We are excited about completing the recent equity financing which provides us strategic growth capital, particularly for the expansion of our solar and other clean technology initiatives. We remain focused on building upon our foundation as a premier fully integrated alternative energy company

Langfristig ist die Aktie wertvoll.... die Kontakte, Kooperationen und Beteiligungen (Asola, Fisker, FRPT etc.) versprechen einiges.

Wenn der Laden schwarze Zahlen schreibt, haben wir andere Kurse, logisch. Das geht nicht so schnell.... ich habe mal im Juli ein paar Gewinne realisiert und halte den anderen Teil über Jahre, wenn alles normal läuft und die Ceo´s nicht mit der Kohle abhauen

Cold weather performance data will be collected and evaluated as part of this project. Initially three hybrid electric vehicles will be tested at SANGB for a period of 1 year. These three are the first batch of eleven that have been ordered by the US Army from Quantum, under a contract administered by the Aerospace Engineering Spectrum (AES). Three additional vehicles will be deployed at SANGB; with the remaining five deployed at other TARDEC joint service partners around the country.


The hydrogen hybrid electric vehicles utilize the Ford Escape platform and incorporate Quantum's advanced hydrogen system, including fuel injectors, fuel flow and pressure management systems, light-weight carbon fiber composite hydrogen storage systems and electronic vehicle management systems. The vehicles were developed at Quantum's advanced vehicle concept center in Lake Forest California. This center houses a state of the art engine development facility including in-house emission measurement capabilities and hybrid electric powertrain development capabilities.


"We are pleased and honored to support TARDEC in their advanced vehicle initiatives to reduce petroleum dependence, while supporting our troops," said Alan P. Niedzwiecki, President and CEO of Quantum. "This project provides us with a great opportunity to continue to showcase our hydrogen and hybrid electric technologies to the US Army. We look forward to building on this relationship to develop additional enhanced vehicle platforms for the US Army."


According to Harold Sanborn, TARDEC's Energy Infrastructure Team leader, "Our military's energy and fuel security begins with leveraging the significant commercial and federal resources being developed that expand our options to support our installations and our war fighters while being good stewards of the environment and progressive partners to the surrounding communities in which we work."

With only minor design enhancements made to the exterior of the vehicle, the production Fisker KARMA plug-in hybrid retains the extreme proportions and beautiful sculpture of the January 2008 KARMA show car.

With a base price of $87,900 (USD), the Fisker KARMA is scheduled to begin delivery in November, 2009. Quantum will supply its proprietary "Q-Drive" high-performance plug-in-hybrid electric vehicle architecture for the current Fisker Hybrid sedan as well as all future Fisker models. The Q-Drive plug-in hybrid electric drive system is designed to achieve 50 miles of zero emission, battery-only range while providing combined gasoline-electric hybrid operation to enable uncompromised vehicle range and performance. The Q-Drive system will be integrated into a unique chassis developed by Quantum that will enable optimizing the performance and vehicle dynamics. Benefits of the Q-Drive system include optimized fuel efficiency and superior performance, unchanged refueling infrastructure, and home-based battery recharging with any 110-volt outlet or, as an option, 220/240-volt fast-charging using Quantum's solar energy powered re-charging station. With this balance of electric and gasoline range, Fisker Automotive estimates that most KARMA drivers who charge the KARMA overnight and commute less than 50 miles per day will be able to achieve an average fuel economy of 100 mpg (2.4L/100km) per year.

The production model to be featured at the 2009 NAIAS will include an upper grill that is graphically enhanced, being slightly larger towards the outer corners. The lower air intake has been enlarged to allow for more airflow and underneath the rear bumper, an aerodynamic diffuser includes the integration of a cooling cover for the electric drivetrain.

To optimize cooling and aerodynamics, the exhaust pipe from the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) is routed directly out behind the front wheels. A small functional side vent will release the hot air when the ICE engine is turned on. The Fisker KARMA also features a complete flush B-pillar. The B-pillar is a safety feature and already fulfills the proposed 2012 rollover protection safety regulations.

Underneath the KARMA is an all aluminum spaceframe made in cooperation with Norsk Hydro. The exterior body is a combination of aluminum panels and composite panels.

The KARMA has a unique sustainable interior strategy. The design of the interior cabin is a luxurious tailored space for four adults. The interior will be unveiled for the first time in its final form at the 2009 NAIAS.

The vehicle's ride and handling is decisively sporty and includes very responsive steering. The KARMA's long wheel base, wide track and low center of gravity provide excellent cornering and stability at highway speeds.

Quantum's innovative powertrain, Q-drive, utilizes a large, powerful lithium ion battery and a powerful 2-liter direct injected turbo-charged 4-cylinder gasoline engine developing 260 hp, which enables the KARMA to achieve a continuous top speed of 125 mph and a 0-60 of 5.8 seconds. The large powerful lithium ion battery provides 22.6 kWh, which has unique control software. The two powerful electric motors deliver a combined 408 hp.

The Fisker KARMA will be assembled by Valmet Automotive in a highly automized assembly facility. Valmet Automotive is currently producing the Porsche Boxster and Porsche Cayman. The first Fisker KARMA will be delivered to customers in November 2009. Yearly volume is anticipated to reach 15,000 cars per year.

A total of 40 retailers for the U.S. will be established by October 2009. Fisker Automotive will announce 20 of their Retailers in January 2009. European pricing will be announced at the International Geneva Motor Show in March, 2009.

Henrik Fisker, CEO of Fisker Automotive, stated, "We are very excited to be bringing the Fisker KARMA back to NAIAS. In the year since we debuted the KARMA, the reception we've received has been tremendous. I'm proud to announce at this time that we are already sold out on the car until mid-2010."

Alan P. Niedzwiecki, President and CEO of Quantum, stated, "We are pleased with the development and integration of the Q-Drive architecture and the early success of this vehicle program."

IRVINE, Calif., Dec. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, (News) Inc. , a leader in the development and production of advanced propulsion systems, energy storage technologies, and alternative fuel vehicles and applications including hybrid, plug-in hybrid, hydrogen, and alternative fuel vehicles, today reported results for the three and six month periods ended October 31, 2008. Conference call information is provided below.

Second Quarter Operating Results

Total revenue in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 was $7.4 million compared to $6.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2008, a net increase of 19%. The increase in consolidated net revenue was due to higher development program revenues, partially offset by lower product sales. The Company's consolidated operating loss decreased from $4.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 to $2.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2009. The decrease was primarily due to the higher revenue base and in part to a gain recognized during the second quarter of fiscal 2009 in the Quantum Fuel Systems segment related to an insurance settlement associated with facility damages and costs stemming from a flooding incident occurring in September 2007.

The Quantum Fuel Systems operating segment loss decreased $1.9 million, or 95%, from $2.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 to $0.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2009. Corporate segment expenses increased $0.1 million, from $2.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 to $2.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2009. The shared-based compensation expense related to FAS 123R was $0.5 million and depreciation and amortization expense was $0.9 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2009.

Contract revenue for the Quantum Fuel Systems segment increased $4.1 million, or 141%, from $2.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 to $7.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2009. The increase was primarily due to higher development program revenues related to development of the "Q Drive" powertrain system for the Company's affiliate - Fisker Automotive. Other hybrid and plug-in hybrid development programs, military programs and other advanced propulsion system development programs were comparable for the second quarter of fiscal 2008 and 2009. Product sales for the Quantum Fuel Systems segment decreased $2.9 million, or 88%, from $3.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 to $0.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2009. The decrease was primarily the result of the completion of the GM Equinox program which occurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008.

Asola, Quantum's German solar affiliate, recorded in equity in earnings of affiliates, had revenues of approximately $15.5 million and net income of $0.7 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2009.

Other income during the quarter ended October 31, 2008 related to the recognition of a life insurance claim resulting from the death of Quantum's Chief Operating Officer who had been on medical leave since December 2007.

The Tecstar Automotive Group business segment ceased operations on January 16, 2008 upon transfer of substantially all of its assets to an affiliate of our lender. Accordingly, the activities of the Tecstar Automotive Group reporting segment are reported as discontinued operations for the three and six month periods ending October 31, 2007.

The Company's net loss from continuing operations decreased from $4.6 million, or $0.06 a share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 to $1.3 million, or $0.01 a share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2009. The Company's net loss decreased from $12.1 million, or $0.15 a share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 to $1.3 million, or $0.01 a share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2009.

Six Month Results

For the six month period ended October 31, 2008, the Company reported revenues of $11.1 million compared to revenues of $9.7 million for the six month period ended October 31, 2007. Contract revenues increased $5.5 million, or 110%, from $5.0 million in the first half of fiscal 2008 to $10.5 million in the first half of fiscal 2009. The increase was due primarily to an increased level of system development and application engineering of our hybrid propulsion systems under funded automotive OEM contracts, and other funded contract work with the United States military and other government agencies. The operating loss for the Quantum Fuel Systems segment decreased $1.5 million, or 31%, from $4.9 million in the first half of fiscal 2008 to $3.4 million in the first half of fiscal 2009.

Corporate segment expenses increased $0.1 million from $5.4 million in the first half of fiscal 2008 to $5.5 million in the first half of fiscal 2009. Corporate segment expenses reflect the general and administrative expenses that indirectly support our ongoing Quantum Fuel Systems operating segment and our anticipated future operating segments. Corporate segment expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, share-based compensation costs, and related general and administrative costs for executive, finance, legal, human resources, investor relations and our board of directors. Included in operating expenses are $1.5 million and $1.1 million of share-based compensation for the first half of fiscal 2008 and 2009, respectively.

The Company's consolidated operating loss decreased from $10.3 million in the first half of fiscal 2008 to $8.9 million in the first half of fiscal 2009. During the first half of fiscal 2009, depreciation and amortization expense was $1.8 million. Cash used from operations during the first half of fiscal 2009 was $7.6 million which included $3.8 million in prepayments on a solar cell contract.

The May 2008 replacement of the Company's debt instruments resulted in a total non-cash charge - loss on modification of debt - of $39.8 million which was recorded during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 and is included in loss from continuing operations for the six month period in fiscal 2009. The charge represents the difference between the carrying balance of the notes and the estimated fair values of the notes, as amended, as of the date of such amendment. Since the implied premium totaling $39.8 million is presumed to represent equity in accordance with Accounting Principals Board (APB) 14, "Accounting for Convertible Debt," the implied premium is recorded as additional paid-in-capital under stockholders' equity.

The Company's net loss from continuing operations increased from $10.4 million, or $0.14 a share, in the first half of fiscal 2008 to $48.5 million, or $0.56 a share, in the first half of fiscal 2009. The Company's net loss decreased from $79.0 million, or $1.05 a share, in the first half of fiscal 2008 to $48.5 million, or $0.56 a share, in the first half of fiscal 2009.

Alan P. Niedzwiecki, President and CEO, stated, "The operating results during the second quarter were positively impacted by strong development program activity, primarily related to the Fisker Karma luxury premium hybrid vehicle program and other customer funded hybrid vehicle development programs. While we remain highly focused on the Fisker Karma program, many opportunities are developing that will allow us to leverage our clean-energy technology portfolio, including electric and hybrid propulsion system technology, natural gas systems, and hydrogen hybrid systems. We continue to make strides through integrating our technologies into vehicle refueling, vehicle recharging and renewable energy applications. We were excited to see the recent legislation allowing for up to a $7,500 credit to purchasers of plug-in hybrid vehicles and are expecting additional legislation in 2009 that will support 'green vehicle' and renewable energy technologies."

Quantum's Affiliate Fisker Automotive Unveils Premium Plug-in Hybrid Hardtop Convertible Concept and Fisker Karma Production Car at 2009 North American International Auto Show
IRVINE, Calif., Jan. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Fisker Automotive, an affiliate of Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, (News) Inc. , unveiled its first production car -- the 2010 Fisker Karma -- and its plug-in hybrid, hardtop convertible concept -- the Fisker Karma S -- at the 2009 North American International (News/Aktienkurs) Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit this week. The NAIAS continues through next week with the public car show running January 17-25, 2009.

Fisker Automotive, a new American manufacturer of premium green automobiles, has received in excess of 1,000 orders for its Fisker Karma since the prototype debuted at the 2008 NAIAS. The Karma, a 100-mile-per-gallon, luxury plug-in hybrid sports sedan, fuses the traditional and timeless styling of veteran auto designer and Fisker Automotive CEO, Henrik Fisker, with Quantum's lithium-ion based Q-DRIVE(R) plug-in hybrid powertrain to become the world's first luxury plug-in hybrid car. Deliveries of the Karma, with a starting price of $87,900, are scheduled to begin in the fourth quarter of 2009 through the Fisker Automotive Retail network.

Also unveiled this week was the open-air Fisker Karma S concept which is a four-seat, plug-in hybrid, hardtop convertible that shares its aluminum spaceframe architecture and the Q-DRIVE(R) powertrain with the Fisker Karma sports sedan.

Like the Fisker Karma, Karma S is designed and engineered by Quantum Technologies exclusively for Fisker Automotive and powered by Quantum's Q-DRIVE(R), which provides 50 emission-free miles on a single charge to its lithium-ion battery pack and up to 403hp from two electric motors. The power retractable hard top, a first for Fisker, glides neatly into the trunk and a unique design language sets the Karma S concept apart.

Both the Fisker Karma and the Karma S concept embody Fisker's belief that driving style and performance need not be compromised for environmental friendliness and efficiency.

"Our objective is to create a singular design language and heritage around our state-of-the-art Q-DRIVE(R) powertrain," said Fisker Automotive, Inc. CEO Henrik Fisker. "The Karma S is an extension of the Fisker Automotive product range of eco-conscious automobiles and sets the tone for our future."

Q-DRIVE: POWERFUL TECHNOLOGY

Exclusive to Fisker Automotive, Q-DRIVE(R) provides the best combination of power, efficiency and low emissions. The system is comprised of two 201hp electric motors powered by an advanced lithium-ion technology battery pack. A generator attached to a turbocharged 2.0-liter Ecotec(R) direct injection (D1) gasoline engine provides extended range capabilities.

"More than 75 percent of America's 200 million drivers travel less than 50 miles per day. With Q-DRIVE(R), the Karma can do that without using a drop of gas. This proprietary powertrain will provide a base for all future model derivatives from Fisker Automotive," said Alan Niedzwiecki, CEO Quantum Technologies.

Q-DRIVE(R) features two operating modes: Stealth Mode and Sport Mode. In electric-only Stealth Mode, drivers can travel emission free for up to 50 miles on a full charge from any 110-, 220- or 240-volt electric outlet. A total range of up to 300 miles is estimated in Sport Mode, which utilizes the efficient Ecotec(R) gasoline engine to turn a generator that powers two electric motors on the rear differential.

With over 60% of the public driving less than 50 miles per day, a fully charged Karma can achieve an annual average of more than 100 miles per gallon. With a top speed of 125 mph and a 0-60 mph time of 5.8 seconds, the Karma is the world's first true premium plug-in hybrid sports sedan. The Karma's low center of gravity and performance-oriented, A-arm suspension system offer a world class driving experience. Tall, wide tires deliver immense lateral grip while electrohydraulic disc brakes provide effortless stopping power.

LUXURY AND STYLE

Karma's exterior design features the continual flow of sculpture and dramatic proportion that is signature Fisker style. A low, wide stance and raised front fenders offer the driver a unique view of the car's design. Modest changes from the original Karma prototype include an enhanced upper grill and an enlarged lower intake for improved airflow. A new aerodynamic diffuser under the rear bumper helps cool the electric drivetrain. Instantly recognizable, the Karma also benefits from having the world's largest continuously formed glass solar panel roof on a car -- an industry first and a standard feature on all Karma sedans.

"From initial concept to final production, it is important for Fisker to maintain a singular design language and to keep the integrity of the original design, inside and out. Extreme proportions, beautiful sculpture and earth-friendly materials are key elements that set the Karma apart," said Fisker Automotive, Inc. CEO Henrik Fisker. "An inspiring drive is also an important and crucial element. Our hope is that the Fisker Karma will create a new segment of eco-friendly transportation and will become the most desirable plug-in hybrid sports sedan available."

A desirable car of any kind requires an inviting cockpit. Fisker's interior design team focused on sustainable design held accountable to the environment. Inspiration from nature's timeless beauty and the quality of classic design composition provided immense inspiration. Karma's Sustainable and Accountable Design is reflected in the use of reusable materials enhanced with modern technology. For example, wood trim is sourced from non-living trees: 'Fallen Trees' that have succumbed to age; 'Rescued Trees' burned in forest fires; and 'Sunken Trees' lying in American lake bottoms.

Karma's instrumentation and controls focus on ease of use. Embedded in the layered EcoGlass(TM) center console is a 10.2-inch touch sensitive screen controlling HVAC, audio and other vehicle systems. LCD gauges behind the steering wheel provide display critical information like battery charge and vehicle speed.

"The Karma's material philosophy balances sensuality and accountability," said Fisker. "We have gone to great lengths to use only environmentally conscious, classic automotive materials that support a commitment to our eco initiatives. At Fisker Automotive we are trying to inspire change for the better Karma buyers will choose from three trim levels: EcoBase(TM), EcoSport(TM) and EcoChic(TM). The most advanced sustainable material series, EcoChic, is based on an animal-free approach that still offers a luxurious environment. Leather is replaced by 100% Bamboo Viscose, a soft hand textile, while EcoGlass(TM) trim frames authentic fossilized leaves. Karma's EcoSport(TM) series incorporates hand-wrapped premium leather using a 100% sustainable manufacturing strategy, which minimizes the number of hides required and highlights natural markings."

"Quantum's proven clean fuel technologies are of interest to leading Indian auto, bus and truck manufacturers as they seek systems and technology solutions to meet the new standards coming into effect in 2010," commented Alan P. Niedzwiecki, the President and CEO of Quantum. "India holds one of the highest natural gas vehicle growth potentials in the world.

Quantum Achieves Major Milestone as Affiliate's Fisker Karma Plug-In-Hybrid Makes Public Driving Debut at Laguna Seca Racetrack
IRVINE, Calif., Aug. 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, Inc. ("Quantum") today announced that its affiliate company Fisker Automotive made its Karma PHEV's driving debut over the weekend, just 19 months after being introduced as a concept.

(Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20090818/LA62799)

The 403hp Karma Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) attained a speed of 100 mph, but used no gasoline as it made its way around Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca during the Rolex Monterey Historic Automobile Races.

The Fisker Karma can reach 60mph in six seconds and has a top speed of 125mph, while also achieving well over 100mpg. Carbon emissions are also lower than today's hybrids. The Karma proves that fuel-efficient, low-emission vehicles can also generate the passion and excitement that made us fall in love with cars in the first place.

The Karma PHEV's clean Q-Drive powertrain was designed and engineered by Quantum at its Advanced Vehicle Concepts Center located in Lake Forest, California. Q-Drive delivers a peak torque of 959 foot-pounds, and incorporates a number of innovations in energy storage, electric drive architecture and control strategies. The Karma has a range of 50 emission-free miles on a full charge of its Lithium-ion battery, and a total range of 300 miles thanks to an on-board generator coupled to a traditional but efficient 260hp, four-cylinder gasoline engine.

"Our team has more than a decade of experience in developing innovative technologies designed for high volume production", commented Alan P. Niedzwiecki, President and CEO of Quantum. "We are pleased at the progress of development and validation of the Q-Drive architecture, which delivers the ultimate combination of performance, range and efficiency".

ASOLA Pressemitteilung und UNSERE QUANTUM IST NOCH BETEILIGT :-)

schön schön

Pressemitteilung - Einweihungsfeierlichkeiten am Freitag, den 5.6.2009

Ministerpräsident Dieter Althaus und der Erfurter Oberbürgermeister Andreas Bausewein weihen das neue Werk der asola – Advanced and Automotive Solar Systems GmbH ein.

Im Rahmen der Einweihungsfeierlichkeiten am Freitag, den 5.6.2009 werden der Thüringische Ministerpräsident Dieter Althaus und der Erfurter Oberbürgermeister Andreas Bausewein als Festredner erwartet. Die neue Produktionsanlage des Erfurter Solarmodulherstellers, asola – Advanced and Automotive Solar Systems GmbH, wird damit eine Produktionskapazität von 45 Megawatt erreichen, was einer Verdreifachung der bisherigen Kapazität entspricht. „Wir tragen damit unserem eigenen Wachstum, das weit über dem Branchendurchschnitt liegt, Rechnung. Unser Erfolgsrezept ist und bleibt kompromisslose Qualität „Made in Germany“, so der Geschäftsführer und Firmengründer Reinhard Wecker.

Die Gesamtinvestitionen für den Neubau betrugen 8,7 Mio. EUR und wurden mit 1,6 Mio. EUR vom Freistaat Thüringen bezuschusst. So schuf das Unternehmen allein im Juni 15 neue Arbeitsplätze, weitere 35 sind noch in diesem Jahr geplant.

Das Unternehmen
Dabei wurde die asola erst 2002 in München als ASS Automotive Solar Systems GmbH gegründet. In 2003 nahm sie als Start-up Unternehmen im damaligen Technologie- und Medienzentrum Erfurt, nur wenige Meter vom heutigen neuen Werk entfernt, die Arbeit auf. Mit gemieteten Maschinen und einer Produktionskapazität von knapp 3 Megawatt wurden u.a. Speziallösungen für den Automobilbereich entwickelt und gefertigt.

Schon vier Jahre später war das Unternehmen auch auf dem italienischen Markt präsent und musste, infolge einer weiteren Produktionserweiterung auf 15 Megawatt, aus Platzgründen nach Isseroda umziehen.

Im Mai 2008 beteiligte sich mit 24,9% das amerikanische Unternehmen Quantum Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: QTWW) strategisch an asola. Im Gegenzug dazu lieferte das Thüringische Unternehmen das Know-how für eine 30 Megawatt Produktionsanlage in die USA und hat sich damit Zugang zum Nordamerikanischen Markt gesichert. Weitere Mehrheitsbeteiligungen an neuen Produktionsanlagen entstehen derzeit in Italien, Korea und Marokko.

Auf der Automobilmesse in Detroit präsentierte in diesem Jahr Fisker Automotive, Inc aus Irvine, CA den Luxus-Hybridsportwagen Karma. Das komplette Dach des Fahrzeugs ist mit Solartechnik aus dem Hause asola bestückt und ist damit weltweit das größte, leistungsstärkste sphärisch gewölbte Solarmodul.
