 - Integration as standard equipment is further evidence that the EFOY
    fuel cell is quickly becoming the standard energy source in motor homes
    in Europe

- Again one of Europe’s biggest manufacturers of motor homes has selected
    EFOY as the best on-board power producer for their customers

- Leading integrated Rapido motor homes will come equipped with fuel cell
    ex works; 2009 Rapido models will be pre-fitted for EFOY integration

Brunnthal, Germany – June 25, 2008 – Rapido SAS, one of France’s and
Europe’s biggest manufacturers of motor homes, will integrate the EFOY fuel
cell as standard equipment in its motor homes. Starting with the 2009 sales
season, buyers of the integrated Rapido '9009Dfh' model and the complete
Rapido '9MH' series of motor homes will receive their new vehicle complete
with the EFOY fuel cell ex works.

'The EFOY fuel cell is the easiest and most environmentally friendly way to
reliably ensure full batteries anytime and anywhere', says Pierre-Luis
Guérineau, Directeur Marketing et Commercial (Director Marketing & Sales)
at Rapido SAS. 'Therefore it is a logical step for us to ensure that our
customers will receive the best available mobile power source as standard
equipment in their high quality motor homes. We are very happy to cooperate
with SFC.'

'We are very proud that Rapido, one of the most important European
manufacturers of motor homes, has decided to integrate the EFOY as standard
equipment in their motor homes', says Dr. Peter Podesser, CEO of SFC Smart
Fuel Cell AG. 'The fact that such a renowned producer of high end vehicles
will offer the fuel cell directly ex works is clear proof of the EFOY’s
excellent performance and illustrates the fact that the EFOY has now
established itself as the standard power source for motor homes all across
Europe. Rapido is an important strategic partner for us as we continue to
penetrate into the European markets.'

Starting with the 2009 season, Rapido will integrate the EFOY 1600, the
most powerful model of the EFOY fuel cell family, into its integrated
'9009Dfh' motor home and into the '9MH' model series.

In addition, Rapido will offer an optional equipment package with the EFOY
1600 fuel cell for all class C models of the 70 series and all class A
models of the 9M series.

At the same time, Rapido will pre-equip vehicles for later integration of
the EFOY fuel cell. Adding an EFOY fuel cell at a later point in time will
thus be easy. With this, Rapido and SFC are establishing a new standard in
on-board power equipment.
