The advantages of using the EMILY 2200 fuel cell in vehicle-based defense applications

  • Ultrahigh energy density

One SFC M10 fuel cartridge with a 10-liter volume and weighing only 8.4 kg (18.5 lbs) contains the capacity for 11.1 kilowatt hours.

  • You don’t need to start an engine to always have power

Up until now, the only way to charge on-board batteries was generally by running the motor. This method, however, presented a dangerous problem because in many cases, a vehicle must remain undetected. Engine noise is audible even at a distance, but the EMILY generates power almost imperceptibly.

  • No harmful emissions

The unit emits only water vapor and carbon dioxide in an amount comparable to a child’s breath, which means that the EMILY can easily operate in tight, poorly ventilated quarters.

  • Rugged and durable

The EMILY has been designed for military applications. It works reliably in rough terrain, regardless of the weather or season. Likewise, a bumpy ride in a moving vehicle is no problem for the EMILY.

  • Quiet and undetectable

Operating at a level of 23 db (A), the EMILY is hardly audible outside the vehicle, a real advantage in reconnaissance missions, for example.

  • Long life

The EMILY will produce power for days on end without any intervention. The only thing that’s needed then is to take a few seconds to replace the fuel cartridge, after which it continues operating.

  • Maintenance free and user friendly

The EMILY is completely maintenance free. It is especially suited for extended unmanned operations. As long as it has enough fuel, it will continue to produce electrical power anytime, anywhere.

  • Plug & Play

The EMILY can connect to any 12V and 24V lead-acid batteries used in defense applications.
