Ballard Announces Commercial Launch of Portable Nexa 'TM' Power Module

VANCOUVER, B.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 27, 2001--Ballard Power Systems (NASDAQ:BLDP - news; TSE:BLD. - news) announced today the commercial launch of its Nexa(TM) power module - the world's first volume-produced proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell system designed for integration by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) into a wide variety of industrial and consumer end-product applications.

Using Ballard's accumulated expertise in PEM fuel cell technology, the Nexa(TM) power module generates up to 1200 watts of unregulated DC electrical power.

Emitting only heat and water as byproducts of power generation, the Nexa(TM) power module allows OEM products to be used in indoor environments and other locations not possible with conventional power sources such as internal combustion engine generators. The Nexa(TM) power module's quiet operation and compact size make it ideal for integration into UPS systems and emergency power generators, as well as recreational and portable products. Unlike battery technology with limited run-times, the Nexa(TM) power module is capable of providing extended back-up operation or intermittent electrical power for as long as fuel is supplied to the unit.

The Nexa(TM) power module has been developed with ongoing input from Ballard customers in Asia, Europe and North America, who are employing a variety of fuel supply options that include compressed hydrogen, hydrogen stored in metal hydrides, and methanol-reformer systems. The first commercial result of Ballard's Nexa(TM) power module activity will be a portable generator for consumer use introduced by Coleman Powermate in the United States later this year.
