The stake increase is achieved through a subscription by Bosch for new Ceres Power shares, as well as the purchase of further shares from existing shareholders. Bosch\u2019s total investment will be approximately 90 million euros. To enhance the strategic investment and the strength of the partnership, under the terms of the transaction, Bosch is granted the right to appoint a Non-Executive Director to the board of Ceres Power.<\/p>\n<p>Since signing a strategic agreement in August 2018, Bosch and Ceres have been successfully collaborating in the development of fuel-cell stacks for stationary applications. This enabled Bosch to start initial low-volume production of pilot fuel-cell systems in autumn 2019 in Germany. It is intended that the increased stake will further support the collaboration towards future potential scale up and mass manufacture of the Ceres SteelCell\u00ae for multiple applications including small power stations to be used in cities, factories, data centers and charge points for electric vehicles.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2632\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/evhnews.com\/en\/2020\/01\/22\/bosch-to-strengthen-strategic-collaboration-with-fuel-cell-expert-ceres-power-by-increasing-its-stake\/bosch-to-strengthen-strategic-collaboration-with-fuel-cell-expert-ceres-power-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/evhnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Bosch-to-strengthen-strategic-collaboration-with-fuel-cell-expert-Ceres-Power-2.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"800,1019\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Bosch to strengthen strategic collaboration with fuel-cell expert Ceres Power-2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/evhnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Bosch-to-strengthen-strategic-collaboration-with-fuel-cell-expert-Ceres-Power-2-236x300.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/evhnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Bosch-to-strengthen-strategic-collaboration-with-fuel-cell-expert-Ceres-Power-2.jpg\" class=\" size-full wp-image-2632 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/evhnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Bosch-to-strengthen-strategic-collaboration-with-fuel-cell-expert-Ceres-Power-2.jpg\" alt=\"Bosch to strengthen strategic collaboration with fuel-cell expert Ceres Power-2\" width=\"800\" height=\"1019\" srcset=\"https:\/\/evhnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Bosch-to-strengthen-strategic-collaboration-with-fuel-cell-expert-Ceres-Power-2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/evhnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Bosch-to-strengthen-strategic-collaboration-with-fuel-cell-expert-Ceres-Power-2-236x300.jpg 236w, https:\/\/evhnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Bosch-to-strengthen-strategic-collaboration-with-fuel-cell-expert-Ceres-Power-2-768x978.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><em>Image Credit: Bosch<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u201eBosch strongly believes that the highly efficient solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) has an important role to play in energy systems\u2019 security of supply and flexibility\u201c<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\nDr. Christian Fischer, member of the Bosch management board<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBosch strongly believes that the highly efficient solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) has an important role to play in energy systems\u2019 security of supply and flexibility,\u201d says Dr. Christian Fischer, member of the Bosch management board responsible for the Energy and Building Technology business sector. \u201cBosch, together with our development partner Ceres Power, has made good progress in the development of fuel-cell stacks for stationary power applications. With this enlarged investment in Ceres Power, we intend to further strengthen our successful collaboration with our development partner Ceres Power.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe welcome this further investment by Bosch which will support the continued evolution of our technology as we look to play an increasingly prominent role in tackling climate change and building a sustainable energy system for the future. We have established a successful partnership with Bosch by combining Ceres\u2019 unique SteelCell\u00ae technology with Bosch\u2019s engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain strength. This new investment will allow us to build on the strong momentum we have generated in recent years to further scale the business and expand into new applications,\u201d says Phil Caldwell, the CEO of Ceres Power.<\/p>\n<p>Ceres Power is a leading player in the development of next-generation SOFC technology. Its strategy is to commercialize its technology through licensing for mass production with partners, and to use this technology for grid-based and distributed power generation. The Board of Directors of Ceres Power believes there is significant future value for shareholders in broadening the application of Ceres Power\u2019s technology, further strengthening its relationship with Bosch. Both parties believe that this transaction demonstrates the commitment to the partnership.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1490\"
