Hydrogen fuel cell maker Loop Energy said on Sunday that its latest cell system can deliver better fuel economy than a diesel engine at current price levels.

are investing heavily in hydrogen fuel cells to haul freight long distances because batteries weigh too much to make electric trucks viable.Hydrogen fuel cells run hydrogen through a catalyst that produces energy and heat to power a small battery that drives the truck - the only emission from these cells is water.

Hydrogen fuel cells have faced two challenges for broad adoption: they have so far been less efficient than diesel and fuelling infrastructure in Europe is virtually non-existent."This brings the future forward," Loop Energy Chief Executive Ben Nyland told Reuters.

Nyland said that Loop Energy aims to provide the fuel cell system to startup truck makers and as part of hydrogen powertrains provided to big truck makers by major suppliers., which holds a more than 20% stake in Loop Energy.Reporting By Nick Carey; editing by Jonathan Oatis
