Loop Energy has announced it will supply fuel cell systems to be used in a hydrogen-electric fire truck at a Spanish airport.

The new fire truck platform has been established by an unnamed, specialty vehicle OEM with a global operating presence in 14 countries.

Loop Energy will fit the fire truck with two of its T505 fuel cell systems, with the first phase seeing a roll out of the vehicles into operation at an airport, before the OEM scales production for use in other locations. Production is expected to begin Q4 2023.

Luigi Fusi, Loop Energy Vice President of Sales and Business Development EMEAR, said, “Special-purpose vehicles like fire trucks have their unique challenges when it comes to electrification.
