Announced today (June 6), Loop Energy’s T600 60kW module will be integrated into Aluminium Revolutionary Chassis Company’s (ARCC) Viking Hydrologht city bus.

Loop Energy’s module uses its eFlow™ technology, which the company claims will increase fuel efficiency, combined with ARCC’s lightweight bus body, it is hoped fuel consumption will be reduced.

The trial, launched by the NSW Government, will take place on the Central Coast later this year, as the state strives to reach its hydrogen strategy goals.
