SFC Energy receives follow up order by Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles for
equipping the toll inspection vehicle fleet of the German Federal Office
for Goods Transport (BAG) with EFOY Pro fuel cells

- Federal Office for Goods Transport has the complete fleet of 306 new
vehicles equipped ex works with fuel cell

- EFOY Pro has now supplied toll inspection vehicles with reliable,
autonomous power for five years

- Decisive cost and logistic advantages, better fleet availability thanks
to the fuel cell

Brunnthal/Munich, Germany, April 13, 2015 - SFC Energy AG, leading provider
of hybrid power solutions to the stationary and mobile power generation
markets, has received a big follow up order for equipping another 306
Volkswagen T5 transporters with EFOY Pro fuel cells. The Federal Office for
Goods Transport (BAG) uses the vehicles for toll inspection purposes all
across Germany. 266 EFOY Pro fuel cells were already shipped in Q4 2014;
the remaining 40 devices were delivered in Q1 2015.

The EFOY Pro fuel cell is a convenient, lightweight power generator. It
produces power for electric measuring and surveillance devices and office
equipment on board the vehicle, fully automatically and without generating
any noise or emissions. As the devices are operated continuously for eight
or more hours per day, batteries alone can not supply enough power. To
ensure reliable power availability at any time, the EFOY fuel cell
recharges the batteries on board with environmentally friendly power while
the vehicle is stationary.

"Our toll inspection officers have been convinced users of the EFOY Pro
fuel cells for several years now" says Ralf Muelhausen, BAG fleet manager.
"The fuel cell offers them important logistic advantages: Before, they had
to drive their vehicle to the grid for recharging their batteries, or they
had to idle the vehicle's engine for a considerable amount of time,
generating noise and emissions. With the EFOY Pro they do not have to worry
about power any more, the energy from the fuel cell is as silent and
convenient as energy from the grid. At the same time we are significantly
