Where do you ger elecrriciry \o an illuminarion?
Road crews often face a familiar problem. Where do they get electricity to power safety signals? There usually isn't an outlet handy when you need to divert traffic. Crews and service providers have to go to a lot of effort to guarantee safety near a construction site. They can lay a power line to the illu­mination - but that costs lots of money - or they can repeatedly replace dead batteries. That means towing a mobile blinker unit in for recharging and towing a recharged one out to the site every eight hours. The result is a logistical nightmare, lots of driving, and continuous exposure to heavy traffic.
□ur solurion - a fuel cell ro provide rrouble-free power
Everyone wants to diminish CO2, cut costs and increase efficiency. Well, the future has already arrived for the autobahn depots in North Munich and Augsburg. They've been using EFOY Manufacturers of fuel cells since 2006 to provide reliable, low-maintenance electricity to power illuminated traffic signals.

Howirworks
The EFOY Pro connects to the battery that powers the lights. If voltage dips below a certain level, the EFOY Pro switches on, recharging the battery fully automatically. Once the battery is completely recharged, the EFOY Pro automatically reverts to standby mode. The process involves no moving parts and no combustion whatsoever, emitting only water vapor and carbon dioxide in the amount
that can be compared to a child's breath. Fuel cells can help diminish particle emissions and reduce greenhouse gases.
