With his background in physics and electronics, Dr. Nahab remains convinced of his vision, that by designing and distributing emission-free hydrogen fuel cell solutions for mobile and stationary applications, a significant contribution is being made towards the decarbonisation of our planet earth. At the same time, he is aware of the need to generate value for the shareholders as a strategic and financial goal. “Our short to medium-term aim is to provide Proton Motor Fuel Cell with an adequate capital base so to continue to service increasing market demand and to expand our portfolio of alternative drive technologies and renewable energies made in Germany. “, explains CEO Nahab.
Last year Proton Motor Fuel Cell GmbH experienced a strong sustainable increase in market demand for its climate neutral quality products.

Furthermore, efforts are underway to secure additional shareholders, investors and strategic partners for Proton Motor Power Systems. Concrete results as well as corporate news are published regularly on specific company-relevant websites, in the media and in the annual business report.
