Teledyne Technologies Inc. (Los Angeles, CA) announced that its subsidiary, Teledyne Energy Systems Inc., was awarded a contract to supply 32 MEDUSA RD test stations to a leading proton-exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell component manufacturer. The systems supplied under this multi-year contract will expand the customer's test capabilities and be used in the development of components used in the manufacture of PEM fuel cells.
