EFOY Comfort fuel cell from SFC wins iF product design award 2012

SFC Energy AG, technology and market leader in mobile and remote power solutions based on fuel cells, has received the iF product design award 2012 in the Leisure/Lifestyle category for its EFOY COMFORT fuel cell.

For 58 years now the iF product design prize has been awarded to extraordinary design achievements. iF is a worldwide established brand, acting from Hanover, Munich, Taiwan, Korea, and Brazil. This year, 2,923 companies had entered their products for the iF product design award.

The EFOY COMFORT fuel cell was honored for quality of design, workmanship, choice of materials, degree of innovation, functionality, ergonomics, intuitive use, safety, brand value and branding. EFOY COMFORT which was launched in the early summer of 2011 as an autonomous power source for mobile homes, cabins and sailboats, was developed specifically to meet the requirements of the users in these demanding markets. It has since been met with great interest in these markets.

The user benefits of the new fuel cell generation are an additional performance increase and a further reduced weight, combined with whisper quiet operation thanks to the intelligent utilisation of vibration-absorbing attenuators from the automobile industry, and intuitive, comfortable use.

“We are excited about winning the iF product design award“, says Dr. Peter Podesser, CEO of SFC Energy. “We wanted the EFOY COMFORT to feature not only even more functionality and enable even more independence for our customers, we also concentrated on an attractive design and on an appealing touch. The award, just like the reactions of our customers, confirms that we have achieved this aim.”
