Has anyone got any ideas why VLR continues to fall? They are one of the few Fuel cell company to have actually successfully comercialised their product and the potential for future growth is huge.

Yes I just wish VLR would go up like my CWR shares..still eventually I hope they will

I know - they've been something of a frustrating market. Still, unlike a lot of similar companies VLR has a green technology that seems to be working and viable, so it should only be a matter of time.

THIS SHOULD BE TRADING AT 50P AT LEAST....MMs are so stupid

Only cautiously optimistic for the future but great to get an order under their belts:

Voller Energy announced a maiden order for its fuel cell systems and reiterated its commercialisation schedule as full year losses widened at the fuel cell group.

The company said it won its maiden order from GenQuip for 20 1Kw fuel cell systems, which will be delivered in early 2008 and installed in welfare cabins.

It is on track for commercialisation of its fuel cell auxiliary power units (APUs) by the end of 2007.

Reporting on its financial results, the company said these were in line with its expectations as full year pretax losses widened to 2.2 mln stg from 1.7 mln last time. Chief executive Stephern Voller said the company is 'cautiously optimistic for the year ahead.'

spoke to voller and they say profit on each fuel cell is 3000 which aint bad if they get orders into the 1000's...i'm sure the luxury yacht market alone will get 1000 plus

Voller Energy is pleased to announce that it is collaborating with the University of Cambridge, UK, to develop a diesel, bio-diesel, kerosene or JP-8 fuel reformer.

As part of its continuing development of reformer technologies Voller is pleased to announce that it has funded a research program which will be carried out in collaboration with the University of Cambridge to develop technologies capable of reforming (processing) hydrocarbon fuels. As a result of this collaboration Voller will have the rights to commercially exploit this technology. Dr Epaminondas Mastorakos of the University's Department of Engineering will be the academic lead for the project.

Dr. Mastorakos and his colleagues have previously developed a process for the super adiabatic combustion of hydrocarbon fuels which enables fuels such as methane and propane to be converted to hydrogen and carbon oxides. The research program will adapt this process for incorporation into fuel cell systems developed by Voller and will also extend the range of fuels which can be processed to include complex hydrocarbons such as kerosene, diesel or JP-8. This activity complements Voller's other activities in fuel reforming which include the development of steam reforming and pyrolysis systems. Voller has already released technology based on a 1kW steam reforming system that uses commercially available standard Calor Gas, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) or propane. This system was successfully demonstrated in a mobile Groundhog 360 welfare cabin, manufactured by GenQuip PLC. In addition this system has been installed in a Beneteau 411 sailing cruiser.

Stephen Voller, Chief Executive of Voller Energy commented: 'We want to offer our customers a choice of fuel cell products in the future based on a variety of widely available fuels. We believe that a portfolio of reforming technologies is important so we can offer LPG and diesel fuel capabilities.'

Some good news today re the motorhomes tie up so why the 7% drop?

The market is not impressed maybe because it is an optional energy source for motorhomes and many may not subscribe to it.

Fair point but as far as alternative jam-tomorrow energy suppliers go VLR is actually producing the goods and getting others interested so I still don't see why the market is marking them down.

UK smallcap opening - Voller Energy up on reports of deals

LONDON (Thomson Financial) - Modest progress was seen in Voller Energy, 3/4 up at 18-1/4, on reports that the maker of a prototype fuel cell for yachts, worker cabins and motor homes is not far from closing deals with yacht dealerships for 100 fuel cells.

Current price: 19-20p, up 11.43%

looks like the filthy crooks in the city were out to trigger stop losses...vermin!

100 fuel cells doesn't mean a thing for a AIM company.

IT DOES WHEN YOU GET 3000 PER UNIT= 300,000 PROFIT

AND THIS IS THE TRUTH BECAUSE COMPANY SPOKESWOMAN TOLD ME

It means a lot maestro and this is only one order. which when worth 10% of the company's market cap is very consdierable. I believe new orders will be announced and not just the rumoured 100 for a yachting company and so have placed an out of hours trade. will be back in as of monday morning.

Welcome back G D Potts!

VLR has been a poor market of late. Let's hope this helps:

Voller Energy has secured Barcelona-based Disvent Ingenieros SA as its distributor in Spain, the Balearic and Canary Islands. The developer of fuel cell systems said Disvent will distribute its one kilowatt Emerald system across Voller's key target markets of construction and leisure.

In a separate statement, the company said it has received a 146,561 stg grant from the Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform to develop an environmentally friendly cabin for the construction sector. Voller said it will work with GenQuip to develop a cabin that is based on environmentally friendly and energy efficient principles.

This will, given time, treble in value.

Let's hope so!

I'm really surprised to see VLR has sunk this low. Apart from the wider market malaise there doesn't appear to be a reason for it.
