Loop Energy unveils 120 kW hydrogen fuel cell system

In Canada, Loop Energy, a designer and manufacturer of hydrogen fuel cells for commercial mobility, unveiled its landmark 120 kW fuel cell system at IAA Transportation 2022 in Hannover, Germany on Monday.

The announcement marks a milestone for Loop Energy as it believes this new product is a significant achievement in advancing the global hydrogen industry and the transition of commercial transport industries by achieving fuel cost parity with diesel by up to eight years earlier than previously possible.

The 120 kW fuel cell system, the S1200, builds on Loop Energy’s existing technology, to provide an additional efficiency gain of 20% when it generates electricity. The S1200 is designed to deliver up to 60% in net system efficiency. This efficiency enables an electric vehicle powered by a Loop Energy fuel cell to deliver up to 54% fuel to wheel efficiency compared to the typical fuel to wheel efficiency delivered by a diesel engine powered vehicle of 20% to 25%.
