Loop Energy selected as Tevva Motors fuel cell supplier

Loop Energy (Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada), a developer and manufacturer of hydrogen fuel cell solutions, announces it has won the tender process to supply Tevva Motors Ltd. (London, U.K.), a British electric and hydrogen truck company, with its T505 (50-kilowatt) Series fuel cell system for Tevva’s 7.5-tonne electric truck platform. The partnership grows Loop Energy’s European customer base and provides the opportunity for its fuel cells to power numerous vehicles in the coming years. Confirmed by Loop Energy, hydrogen storage tanks used for the trucks will comprise fiber-reinforced composites.

Tevva’s tender process began with a single unit order in Q4 2021 to evaluate and test the fuel cell system. Loop Energy’s product is said to have outperformed multiple offerings from international fuel cell manufacturers. The evaluation process focused on fuel efficiency and reliability, and to ensure seamless integration with Tevva’s Fuel Cell Range Extender for its 7.5-tonne truck platform. The truck is designed to provide operators with up to 500 kilometers (310 miles) of all-season service range. 

Following testing, Tevva selected Loop Energy as its supplier and placed initial orders for multiple units. The company will now be entering the scale-up phase of Loop Energy’s Customer Adoption Cycle. The orders were included in the company’s previously announced purchase orders for 2022. Both companies are now working towards finalizing a broader supply agreement.

“By combining Loop Energy’s hydrogen fuel cell with our 7.5-tonne battery electric truck platform, Tevva is taking a step towards delivering our zero-emission range-extended trucks,” Tevva founder and CEO, Asher Bennett, says. “Our customers are passionate about the cost, performance and emissions of their fleets, so we are highly selective about the energy systems in our trucks. We are delighted to find a technology partner in Loop Energy that can support our ambitious performance expectations and growth plans – that aim to remove 10 million tonnes of global transportation CO₂ emissions by 2030.”
