Unsustainable transport Unsustainable transport sectorsector

• Transport sector emissions represent a high Transport sector emissions represent a high percentage of the total pollutant emissions to the percentage of the total pollutant emissions to the atmosphereatmosphere• Car industry is responsible for the transport sector to Car industry is responsible for the transport sector to be the one whose emissions have increased in the be the one whose emissions have increased in the highest percentage in the last few yearshighest percentage in the last few years

• Oil based fuels used in ICE emit huge amounts of Oil based fuels used in ICE emit huge amounts of greenhouse gasses every year, day after daygreenhouse gasses every year, day after day

• Additionally, seems like we are facing a new era of oil Additionally, seems like we are facing a new era of oil scarcity: before 2015 demand might widely exceed scarcity: before 2015 demand might widely exceed supplysupply

• Situation is becoming critical in urban areas: Madrid Situation is becoming critical in urban areas: Madrid city hall has recently recommended not to practice any city hall has recently recommended not to practice any outdoor sports until pollution levels decrease somehow outdoor sports until pollution levels decrease somehow (BUT HOW…?????)(BUT HOW…?????)



Car industry evolutionCar industry evolution

• All main car manufacturers have developed hydrogen All main car manufacturers have developed hydrogen electrical vehicle prototypes, running on PEM fuel cells.electrical vehicle prototypes, running on PEM fuel cells.

• Oil crisis, announced oil shortages, and the need to Oil crisis, announced oil shortages, and the need to reduce COreduce CO22 emissions, will bring new technologies into emissions, will bring new technologies into the car industry for vehicle propulsion, which will be the car industry for vehicle propulsion, which will be very different from today’s ICEvery different from today’s ICE• Hydrogen and PEM fuel cells: SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONHydrogen and PEM fuel cells: SUSTAINABLE SOLUTION

o Hydrogen: alternative fuel to oil based fuels. Will Hydrogen: alternative fuel to oil based fuels. Will solve environmental and supply problems, it is solve environmental and supply problems, it is extremely clean and inexhaustibleextremely clean and inexhaustible

o PEM fuel cell: electrochemical device which PEM fuel cell: electrochemical device which transforms the hydrogen energy content into transforms the hydrogen energy content into electricityelectricity



AJUSA evolutionAJUSA evolution

• One of the main promoters of the hydrogen One of the main promoters of the hydrogen infrastructures in Europe, basic for the implantation of infrastructures in Europe, basic for the implantation of the hydrogen economythe hydrogen economy

• If car industry evolves to new technologies, AJUSA If car industry evolves to new technologies, AJUSA must evolve in the same way in order to keep its must evolve in the same way in order to keep its competitiveness in the near futurecompetitiveness in the near future

• More than 10 years researching and developing More than 10 years researching and developing hydrogen technologieshydrogen technologies

• First PEM fuel cell manufacturer in SpainFirst PEM fuel cell manufacturer in Spain



AJUSA adaptation:AJUSA adaptation:

PEM fuel cellsPEM fuel cells

• AJUSA is able to manufacture all the components of AJUSA is able to manufacture all the components of the PEM fuel cell, ensemble the stack, and develop the the PEM fuel cell, ensemble the stack, and develop the required BOP to supply power units for transport, required BOP to supply power units for transport, stationary and portable applicationsstationary and portable applications

• 35 years of industrial experience, synergy of 35 years of industrial experience, synergy of production processes of four product lines and strong production processes of four product lines and strong researching capacity: development of optimal processes researching capacity: development of optimal processes for manufacturing PEM fuel cellsfor manufacturing PEM fuel cells

• Current manufacturing processes (machining, Current manufacturing processes (machining, molding, stamping, injection, sealing techniques…) are molding, stamping, injection, sealing techniques…) are not difficult to adapt to the requirements of the not difficult to adapt to the requirements of the manufacturing processes of the PEM fuel cellsmanufacturing processes of the PEM fuel cells
