Partnership established to address growing demand from US market
- Parry Labs working with Intelligent Energy to accelerate deployment of fuel cell products in the USA
- Parry Labs will focus on developing fuel cell products for military, security and other advanced applications
- Parry Labs becomes Intelligent Energy’s third regional distributor
Loughborough, UK–Intelligent Energy, the market leader for lightweight Fuel Cell Power Modules (FCPMs), has this week established a formal distribution agreement with US-based Parry Labs.
Intelligent Energy’s UAV Fuel Cell Power Modules FCPMs are the lightest and most power dense available on the market, offering many advantages for the both commercial and military sector. Intelligent Energy’s fuel cell technology achieves three times the flight duration compared to batteries, while their compact lightweight design allows them to lift larger UAVs carrying heavier, more powerful payloads.
Parry Labs is a leading solutions provider to the US Department of Defence and commercial aerospace companies, designing and deploying solutions ranging from advanced power systems, unmanned systems, edge computing, advanced antennas, and more.
As a distributor and reseller, Parry Labs has in-depth knowledge of the design and operation of Intelligent Energy’s FCPMs and can undertake complete engineering for both retrofit or new design applications. In addition, Parry Labs will offer Intelligent Energy in-field support and on-going operation and maintenance services.
Lee Juby, Chief Sales Officer at Intelligent Energy, welcomed the news. “This is the fourth partnership announcement we have issued in the last few weeks, and I am delighted to welcome Parry Labs to our new, but rapidly growing, network of distributors. We understand the importance of providing our customers with knowledgeable contacts in their region who can provide the necessary level of support required, as demonstrated by our other recent partnership announcements.
“Our fuel cell products are the obvious choice for customers looking to fly for longer and carry more. The compact size and lightweight mass make them ideal for endurance flights.”
Offering an example of achievable flight time to show the difference an Intelligent Energy FCPM can make, Lee Juby added, “A retrospectively fitted 650W FCPM mounted onto a typical fixed wing sUAS drone could extend flight time to over 15 hours from less than five hours operation with batteries.”
John Parkes, Chief Executive Officer of Parry Labs, said, “Parry Labs is excited to partner with Intelligent Energy in bringing disruptive hydrogen power solutions to the US Aerospace and Defence markets. We believe hydrogen fuel cells will provide our customers with superior solutions. This technology will revolutionize a wide range of applications, including unmanned aircraft, ground systems, edge computing, communications systems, and maritime systems.
