Proton Motor Power Systems plc

("Proton Motor" or the "Company")

Repeat order from DB Bahnbau Gruppe

Proton Motor Power Systems plc (AIM: PPS), the designer and producer of hydrogen fuel cells and hydrogen fuel cell electric hybrid systems, is pleased to announce that it has received a follow-on order from DB Bahnbau Gruppe GmbH, a subsidiary of Deutsche Bahn AG, the operator of the German Rail network (the "Customer"), for a fuel cell system based on the Company's standard HyModule® S8.

Once supplied, the system will be used for application fuel cell substitute power supply (fuel cell emergency power supply) for rail infrastructure, ensuring a robust and clean source of supply for critical equipment within the Customer's rail infrastructure.

Proton anticipates that the system will be delivered to the Customer in the first quarter of 2024 with revenues correspondingly being recognised in that year. The Company previously supplied a fuel cell system to German Rail in 2016.

Dr. Faiz Nahab, CEO of Proton Motor, said:

"This repeat order is a further vote of confidence in our hydrogen fuel cell systems, which offer a climate neutral solution for applications including uninterruptible emergency power supply, peak shaving and off-grid charging infrastructure. It is also a reflection of the strength of the relationships we've developed across key industries, which will help Proton Motor further commercialise its offer, on the back of moving into a new state of the art production facility later this year, which will improve efficiencies and scalability."
