Watt Fuel Cell Corp. announced the establishment of a strategic licensing and supply agreement with Parker-Hannifin Corporation. The agreement, established through Parker's Energy Systems Business Unit, stipulates Parker's production of a family of propane-driven, SOFC-based products for the RV, marine, over-the-road trucking and residential markets.

Combining Parker's core expertise in controls, fluid management and product development with WATT's cost-effective fuel cell technology, the agreement includes Parker's exclusive license of WATT Fuel Cell's balance-of-plant (BoP) technology and exclusive stack supply for use in 500- to 3,000-watt RV, marine and over-the-road trucking markets. Parker will manufacture the BoP and controls and also integrate the fuel cell stacks into complete, packaged SOFC products.
