Loop Energy and Rheintal-Transporte have entered an agreement for the development and supply of heavy-duty hydrogen fuel cell range extension solutions for battery electric trucks in Europe.

As a part of the agreement, Rheintal is looking to use Loop’s eFlow fuel-cell modules to expand driving range capabilities of battery electric trucks to the levels required by its fleet of long-haul cold-chain logistics vehicles. Rheintal anticipates orders of eFlow fuel cell modules for more than 20 zero-emission hydrogen trucks and trailers over the next 24 months. In addition to supply of its fuel cell products, the agreement provides Rheintal with full access to Loop’s complementary total customer care services. This offering provides end-to-end technical support as well as access to a network of pre-qualified channel partners specializing in hydrogen electric power train design, supply of various sub-system components and hydrogen fuel infrastructure.

Rheintal, based in Germany, is a recognized industry leader of low-carbon heavy-duty transportation solutions for its freight forwarding services. The company’s evolution to hydrogen fuel cell electric freight transport aligns with their goal of enabling emission-free customer transport deliveries before 2030.

As the transport sector looks to reduce emissions, Loop Energy’s eFlow fuel cell solutions are meeting the power, efficiency, and durability requirements customers demand in heavy-duty applications.
