Siemens to help Riversimple toward volume production
Engineering giant Siemens is working with Riversimple, the Welsh hydrogen vehicle start-up, on sustainable manufacturing and volume production of the Powys company’s Rasa eco coupe and light goods vehicle.
A Memorandum of Understanding between the companies will focus also on financing for volume production and regional skills development for the hydrogen mobility sector.
Hugo Spowers, MD of Riversimple, said: “[Siemens] share our passion for sustainability, hydrogen and the circular economy and have deep expertise in technology software and plant simulation as well as financing the tech sector.”
