As part of its objective to advance hydrogen-based electric solutions for commercial vehicles, Loop Energy, the leading developer and manufacturer of hydrogen fuel cell-based solutions, has announced an agreement with Aliant Battery.
Aliant Battery is a division of ELSA Solutions SRL, a systems integrator based in Italy specialising in developing battery-electric solutions for commercial vehicles and stationary power applications.
The arrangement allows Loop to meaningfully engage with Aliant's extensive list of OEM customers that manufacture commercial vehicles and transportation fleets, as well as industrial and heavy-duty materials handling equipment.
Through this partnership, Aliant Battery will also become a value-added integration channel partner for Loop. It will help provide engineering service expertise to Loop's customers, including hydrogen fuel cell and battery electric systems integration.

Davide Pal Pozzo, Partner at Aliant Battery, said, 'We have a long history of utilising range extenders with internal combustion engines, and as hydrogen begins to play a key role in commercial vehicle electrification in the near future, we believe Loop Energy is the right partner with their advanced fuel cell solutions. Together, Aliant and Loop will be at the forefront of this technology adoption.'
George Rubin, Chief Commercial Officer at Loop Energy, said, 'Our partnership with Aliant Battery is an integral part of our Total Customer Care programme and overall channel-based go-to-market strategy. Together with Loop Energy's industry-leading eFlow technology, Aliant's engineering, product design and integration will enable more OEMs to leverage eFlow's total cost of ownership benefits into market leadership by having the best cost and performance in zero-emission product offerings.
