UQM Technologies lands $2.2 million order in China

LONGMONT – UQM Technologies Inc. (NYSE: UQM) on Wednesday said it has received a $2.2 million order to provide fuel-cell compressor systems to a manufacturer in China.

Longmont-based UQM Technologies is expected to begin shipping its R340 fuel-cell system this summer and be completed by fall.
