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
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 7.5t truck platform. The truck is
designed to provide operators with up to 500 kilometres (310 miles)
of all-season service range.
Following testing, Tevva selected Loop Energy as its supplier
and placed initial orders for multiple units. It now enters 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 7.5t
battery electric truck platform, Tevva is taking an exciting step
towards delivering our zero-emission range-extended trucks," said
Tevva Founder & CEO, Asher Bennett. "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."
"Our customers are at the heart of everything we do, so we are
delighted to be selected to deliver products that meet Tevva's
performance expectations," said Loop Energy President & CEO,
Ben Nyland. "The order shows we have the technology and production
capabilities to supply to OEMs who are dedicated to manufacturing
the next generation of commercial vehicles as we move towards
meeting zero-emissions requirements."
