Rapido provides EFOY fuel cell as a standard equipment in selected motorhome models in 2009. Integrated 9009Dfh and the whole 9MH line-up will receive fuel cells. All the models will get the most powerful EFOY 1600 device. It can produce 1600 Wh (130 Ah) charging per day. This means that the charging current is 5.4 Amps.
EFOY fuel cells use methanol as a fuel. The consumption is 1.1 l/kWh. The devices operate automatically to ensure that the battery is always full.
EFOY 1600 is available also as an option for all C class models of 70 series and all class A models of 9M series. Rapido will pre-equip the vehicles, so that it is easy to add a fuel cell later. Fuelcelltoday.com

This is a true break through in the fight against global warming. The EFOY fuel cell is a superb little machine that works by passing methanol over a platinum plate. The reaction created a bit of heat which is expelled through the air outlet and is not harmfully at all. The rest (carbon dioxide) is expelled through a tiny hose, to the outside of the vehicle. The amount of CO2 produced it tiny.
Superb to see Rapido taking the lead in this.
Hi Simon,
I think so too that it was a good move from Rapido. I’m very tempted to install an EFOY on my own motorhome too. They are just quite expensive still. The EFOY 1600 is around 3800 euros.
