Loop Energy Inc. announced it has been selected to supply fuel cell systems for a new fire truck platform by an established specialty vehicle OEM with significant global presence operating in 14 countries with over 1,400 employees. The new hydrogen electric fire truck will be fitted with two of Loop Energy's T505 fuel cell systems. In the first stage of the roll-out plan, a pilot project will see a vehicle put into operation at an airport in Spain. In subsequent stages, the OEM is looking to scale production for use in other locations with production expected to begin in fourth quarter of 2023.

With this new partnership, Loop Energy is entering the market for special-purpose vehicles, which presents a significant opportunity for electrification via hydrogen fuel cells due to their unique operating requirements including high operational uptime and power needs. Loop Energy fuel cells were selected for their high fuel efficiency compared to competitive products ­ a key differentiator of the eFlowTM proprietary technology.
