Commenting on this announcement, Taavi Madiberk, CEO and co-founder of Skeleton Technologies, said: "Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are of high strategic importance to lower carbon dioxide emissions and fight against climate change. Skeleton's ultracapacitors are one of the key enablers of the hydrogen economy."

"Since fuel cells are not able to recuperate the braking energy and re-use it for acceleration, they need efficient energy storage devices to improve overall system efficiency and total cost of ownership. Combining ultracapacitors and fuel cells will speed up the market adoption of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles," he added.

Wrightbus is a founding member of the H2Bus Consortium, announced in June 2019 and focused on deployment of at least 1,000 zero-emission fuel cell electric buses and related infrastructure in European cities at commercially competitive rates.  

Wrightbus initial pilot testing is planned to be completed in 2021.

Skeleton Technologies is a developer and manufacturer of ultracapacitors and energy-storage systems, delivering high power, high energy, reliable and long-life storage solutions in the automotive, transportation, grid and industrial sectors.
