“The sales development reflects the fluctuations between the quarters in a less mature market, where customers test new technology and vary their orders from single fuel cell stacks to orders for fuel cell systems and engineering services”, Per Wassén, CEO of PowerCell said. “The underlying demand continue to be very strong and for the first nine months sales increased with 55 percent compared to the same period last year.”
