In the UK, Tech EU reported that Polish company MMI has secured 8.6 million in funding from the Vinci S.A. fund. The report noted that the capital will be used to develop electric buses in three variants, including low-entry, low-floor and normal-floor vehicles. MMI’s plans also include the creation of an electric minibus powered by a hydrogen fuel cell and the construction of a modern production hall, which will enable the company to double the volume of vehicles produced. “We plan to use the secured capital to create our own brand of small and medium-sized electric buses, including models powered by hydrogen fuel cells. To achieve this, we are working on zero-emission drive technology and innovative chassis and body designs. Our goal is to create buses with the lowest possible curb weight to maximize their range.” said Stanisław Zdrojewski, CEO of MMI. “Our next steps include developing a bus powered by a hydrogen fuel cell and constructing a modern production hall, which will enable us to double our current production volume,” he added.
