Here it is... 02/03 10:16 BAT Subsidiary, SSPC, Goes Public & Forms Joint Venture to BAAT.OB><SSPC.OB> BAT Subsidiary, SSPC, Goes Public & Forms Joint Venture to Manufacture Fuel Cell CHULA VISTA, Calif., Feb. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- BAT's (OTC Bulletin Board: BAAT) subsidiary, Southern States Power Co. (OTC Bulletin Board: SSPC) has been approved to trade publicly by NASD. SSPC has formed a 50/50 joint venture with Anuvu to complete development/demonstration of PEM fuel cells that will be demonstrated in a series of vehicle runs in the near future on a variety of fuels including hydrogen, natural gas, propane, methanol & gasoline. Anuvu technology has many advantages including requiring less than half the volume to deliver the same amount of electricity and having a much lower cost and rapid timeline to enter into production. A proprietary process is used to manufacture very thin plates (0.1" thick) with a non-corrosive low-density material. The compact, lightweight fuel cell is sturdy and flexible, will have long life from use of strong membranes and can rapidly be produced using low cost tooling and mass-production techniques. Other benefits include excellent thermal/humidity management through a proprietary cooling process that radically decreases thermal gradients. BAT subsidiary UFBC is completing a plant to manufacture a high power NiMH battery that will have very long life, good energy density and ideal power output to meet "acceleration" requirements of fuel cell powered vehicles. NiMH technology originated from Daimler Benz/VW research group DAUG and has been licensed to UFBC for world-wide use in auto, industrial and telecom applications. A Daimler Benz board member was quoted as saying, "We are determined to be the first company to offer a volume-manufactured vehicle powered by fuel cell engines." Companies on the leading edge of that investment effort have recently announced significant delays in fuel cell efforts. Global Fuel Cell Corporation has kept a low profile and is now prepared to demonstrate fuel cells in vehicles with a variety of fuels and quickly enter into production.
