UQM Technologies has received an order from Lightning Systems for its eDT 220 electric propulsion systems for use in several new projects, including Class 6 vehicles for Zeem Solutions in New York and a city bus programme for Via Mobility, in Boulder, Colorado.

UQM supplies various powertrain components to Lightning Systems, including the UQM E-Drive paired with different gearbox solutions, making UQM the Tier 1 provider for the full assembly.

“We are very pleased to see the progress and success we are enjoying with Lightning Systems in winning new business with their expanded vehicle offerings utilising the UQM propulsion systems,” said UQM Technologies CEO, Joseph Mitchell.

“What makes this even more exciting is the Colorado connection between UQM and Lightning, and our joint expansion in the new energy market.”

UQM recently secured new and follow on orders from several unnamed Chinese fuel cell companies including a Chinese OEM customer, for delivery this year and into 2019.
