MYNT is planning 3 trials in the second half of 2023 in Queensland and New South Wales.

Under the agreement, Loop Energy's 60 kW fuel cell system will be integrated into ARP E-Vehicles' new 12 m hydrogen-electric bus designed for municipal transit service market in Europe. Anticipated to take place in Q4 2023, delivery of the first T605 60 kW fuel cell unit to ARP E-Vehicles will constitute the first deployment of Loop Energy's new product line designed for rooftop mounting, thus specifically catering to the European bus market.

The Company announced on March 29, 2023 that it had engaged Credit Suisse to explore strategic alternatives, including potential transaction structures that may bring new capital into the business and extend our runway into 2024 and beyond.
