U T C   P O W E R   When the power grid failed throughout New York City on August 14, 2003, the Central Park Police Precinct never went a moment without electricity. The reason: a 200-kilowatt UTC Fuel Cells power plant kept the power flowing.
        It was an example of distributed generation. UTC Power is focused on the growing market for turnkey, integrated systems that provide clean, efficient and dependable power; and through its UTC Fuel Cells business, it is advancing fuel cells technology for transportation and stationary power.
        In 2003, UTC Power launched two new product lines — PureThermal™ and PureComfort™.
        The PureComfort 240 system, based on microturbine technology, produces 240 kilowatts of electricity and captures waste heat to power a Carrier chiller capable of providing cooling and heating. The PureThermal 60 system, also based on microturbine technology, produces 60 kilowatts and captures waste heat to produce hot water for heating needs.
        These new products join the PureCell™ 200 (formerly known as the PC25), the UTC Fuel Cells system that powers the Central Park police station.
         On the transportation side of the business, Nissan Motor Co. unveiled its latest UTC Fuel Cells-powered car at the 2003 Tokyo Auto Show, while UTC Fuel Cells linked with Hyundai to design a new automotive fuel cell capable of working in freezing temperatures, one of the challenges to fuel cell development for automobiles. UTC Fuel Cells also delivered five-kilowatt fuel cells units to BMW to provide electrical power for 7-Series vehicles.
        In fleet transportation, UTC Fuel Cells agreed to produce power plants for fuel cell buses operated by two major California transit districts. In Europe, UTC Fuel Cells-powered buses are set to enter operation in Spain and Italy.
        At UTC Power, the focus is on giving customers clean, efficient power and the peace of mind they need to keep going.
