Ben Nyland

President and Chief Executive Officer, Loop Energy

Heavy-duty trucks and buses represent a small percentage of the vehicles on roads, yet they contribute disproportionately to the transport sector’s GHG emissions. Loop Energy has made bold leaps in hydrogen fuel cell technology to provide medium-to-heavy duty truck and bus manufacturers with a fuel cell solution featuring a leading combination of fuel efficiency and peak-power capabilities, resulting in fuel consumption reduction by up to 16%, as well as extended range and increased payload. Loop delivers improved total cost of ownership for fleets while matching diesel functionality. Ben’s leadership has increased investments in Loop’s technology, receiving two investments from Cummins over a six-month period and a multi-unit order from a leading bus manufacturer in China. The company went public in 2021, raising $100 million.
