On Sunday, Hydrogen fuel cell maker Loop Energy has mentioned that its latest cell system would deliver higher fuel economy than diesel engine at current price levels.

Loop Energy aimed to giving the fuel cell system to startup the truck makers

The Burnaby, British Columbia-based company has mentioned that was based on a pan-European diesel price of $1.91 per liter on September 5 and $10 per kg of hydrogen within which a truck might travel simply over 111 miles (179 km) on $100 value of fuel by the use of its new S1200 hydrogen fuel cell system versus a little over a 109 miles for the same diesel truck.

As an auto industry maker the shift to zero-emission electrical vehicles (EVs), huge freight truck manufacturers like Daimler Truck and Volvo were investing heavily in hydrogen fuel cells to haul freight long distances as the batteries weigh a lot to make the electric trucks viable.

Hydrogen fuel cells run hydrogen via a catalyst which would produce energy and warmth to power small battery that drives the truck. Well, the only emission from these cells was water.

Two challenges have been faced by the hydrogen fuel cells for broad adoption: they have been a little less efficient than diesel and fuelling infrastructure in Europe was absolutely virtually non-existent.

Nyland had mentioned that the new cell system would gradually address the first of all those challenges. 

As per Loop Energy Chief Executive Ben Nyland “This would bring future forward.” “This product would deliver the economics that would deliver economics which were required for adoption today.”

Nyland had mentioned that Loop Energy had aimed towards giving the fuel cell system to startup the truck makers and being the part of hydrogen powertrains which were provided to big truck makers by major suppliers. 

Cummins being the US engine maker was the company's biggest shareholder, that holds over 20 percent stake in Loop Energy.
