SFC and Webasto Plan on a Far-Reaching Sales Cooperation


BRUNNTHAL, Germany, September 10 /PRNewswire/ --     SFC Smart Fuel Cell AG, the leading global manufacturer of
methanol fuel cell systems for mobile and remote energy supply and Webasto
AG, Stockdorf, one of the leading suppliers to the automotive and leisure
vehicle industry, plan on a long-term cooperation for the equipping of
leisure vehicles.

It is intended that in the future SFC will supply EFOY fuel
cells via Webasto, manufactured in series, for the equipping of leisure
vehicles. Additionally, the cooperation, in a regional sales organisation,
will in the future give SFC a stronger presence for its products in the
accessories follow-up market.

Within the recreational vehicle market, estimated by market
specialists to consist of more than 1 million vehicles in Europe, Webasto,
known as one of the market leaders for heating solutions in the automotive
industry, is providing innovative comfort solutions under a global gas free
strategy. The SFC fuel cell system is a perfectly fitting component to that
strategy. "Through this strategy, we will offer a solution which is
space-saving, low-emission emitting and powerful, allowing for the mobility
and highest comfort to our customers", says Phillip A. Thompson, Board Member
of Webasto AG.

While providing an environmentally friendly source of energy,
SFC's fuel cells offer a preferred high level of comfort and SFC will be a
valuable partner of "Webasto Global Comfort Solutions". "The technological
advance of our fuel cells enables gas free energy supply for recreational
vehicles. The planned cooperation with Webasto in the "Gas Free" concept and
in further regions for the accessories market marks another milestone for our
company's commercial success", says Dr. Peter Podesser, CEO of SFC Smart Fuel
Cell AG.

SFC is looking to achieve a triple digit percentage sales
growth rate in the current fiscal year. In the first half of 2007 the company
has already increased its sales, compared to the previous year, by 150 per
cent to 7.5 million Euros.
