Free software updater for EFOY fuel cells – results of a successful initiative

•    New software reduces EFOY fuel cells' consumption and increases operational stability
•    Free software update installed for over 30 percent of all fuel cells sold
•    Exceptionally positive customer feedback from EFOY users

Brunnthal/Munich, Germany, January 15, 2010 – In recent months, owners of EFOY fuel cells have been able to bring them up date by means of a free software updater. The EFOY updater optimizes and reduces fuel consumption by up to 30 percent compared to the first EFOY generation and increases the operational sta-bility of these reliable devices, particularly in extreme situations, such as heavy frost and intense heat. In this initiative, which has been successfully underway since mid-July 2009, over 5,000 EFOY fuel cells have already been updated. As SFC Energy has sold over 16,000 fuel cells, this means that more than 30 percent of these power generators currently have the latest software version.

EFOY customers' response to the free software initiative has been exceptionally positive. "To think that such a thing still exists in Germany's service wasteland!" exclaims EFOY owner H.S. "It is encouraging to see," says customer Andreas B., "that in Germany's service wasteland, there remains one 'small' company which does place value on customer service." As a result, the initiative is to be continued in 2010, not only in Germany, but also in other European countries, such as France and Italy.

EFOY owners who have not yet installed the update can do so in two different ways: recreational vehicle experts can request the handy EFOY updater directly via sales@efoy.com, stating the serial number of their EFOY, and update the software themselves in a matter of minutes. Those who would prefer to have the update installed by a dealer will find a list of recreational vehicle dealers on the EFOY website at www.efoy.com.
