Upon delivery of the additional S300 (30 kW) fuel cell systems,
Loop Energy will aim to support M&I in increasing the
production of its 8-metre city bus and monitor operational
performance. Previously, the two companies partnered to develop the
prototype bus, complete field testing and achieve EU
homologation.
Following launch in March 2022, M&I showcased the bus across
various European markets. Throughout the tour, the bus demonstrated
increased fuel efficiency, allowing it to achieve further range
with less onboard fuel storage. This has been a standout feature
for fleet operators looking for a zero-emissions solution to
electrify transit bus fleets.
“We now have the opportunity to deliver our hydrogen-electric
city bus to some of Europe’s largest and most progressive markets
for hydrogen-electric vehicles,” said Mobility & Innovation
Co-Owner and CEO, János Onódi. “We offer a solution to
decarbonizing urban transit, and with Loop Energy’s technology and
support, we hope to deploy our buses in cities around Europe in the
near future.”
“Mobility & Innovation has made tremendous inroads into the
market over the last few months, and we are proud to be their fuel
cell partner as they continue their journey,” said Loop Energy
Chief Commercial Officer, George Rubin. “The accelerated growth in
order volume for our fuel cell engines is a direct reflection of
rapid expansion of demand for hydrogen-electric vehicles in our
core markets.”
M&I’s progression to the Scale-Up Phase builds upon Loop
Energy’s recent success of entering the Full Production Phase with
Tevva Motors after finalizing a multi-year fuel cell supply
agreement with delivery commitments in excess of US$12 million. Due
to the accelerated adoption of its technology and the strong growth
of its customers, Loop Energy will provide an update on its
purchase order guidance during its Q2 2022 financial results on
August 4. For dial-in details, visit:
