Canada’s Loop Energy to provide fuel cell modules to Mobility & Innovation for lightweight zero-emission bus.
M&I is the developer of a lightweight and zero-emission city bus platform, known for its zero emissions powertrain and industry leading GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) for a zero-emission transit bus vehicle. Manufactured with laminate composite materials, M&I buses are lighter than comparable steel vehicles.
The low-curb weight enables greater passenger capacity, while still meeting even the most stringent of axel load requirements.
To further meet the need for both power density and fuel-efficient energy, M&I has selected Loop Energy to provide their proprietary fuel cell modules. Loop can deliver power and enable a smaller fuel storage system without compromising the weight or range of the bus. The fuel cell system will also aid in improved total cost of ownership for M&I’s customers.
George Rubin, chief commercial officer of Loop Energy.
Mobility & Innovation’s M&I family of vehicles offers a great fit with both municipal and private bus fleet operators’ requirements.
“We are very excited about being a part of the upcoming launch of the hydrogen electric model of the M&I bus.”
“Municipal transit is a great example of a vertical market with a very strong business case for hydrogen electric vehicles and as a result, we maintain a strong focus on establishing strategic partnerships with bus OEMs across the key geographic markets.”
