NEXTY Electronics, the electronics trading subsidiary of Toyota Tsusho Group, has signed a Distributorship Agreement with Spectronik, effective 1st May 2022, to market and sell Spectronik’s Hydrogen fuel cell products in Japan.
Japan has been a world leader in the hydrogen field, having formulated the world’s first Basic Hydrogen Strategy in 2017 and hosting the annual Japan-led Hydrogen Energy Ministerial Meeting since 2018. Furthermore, Japan has long been a leader in Hydrogen research, technology development and application – especially in residential, stationary and automotive fuel cells.
NEXTY Electronics identifies that many relatively smaller power applications – such as unmanned air, ground and water surface vehicles, robotics and equipment like an autonomous lawnmower- can be decarbonized with Hydrogen fuel cells. Hydrogen fuel cells in these applications can provide longer runtimes and increased carrying capacity compared to conventional lithium-ion batteries. They also offer superior environmental performance, such as reduced carbon dioxide emissions when gasoline is used.
Spectronik’s air-cooled Hydrogen fuel cell products – the Protium Series, is perfectly suited for such applications. Key benefits of using Hydrogen fuel cells include zero-emission and longer runtime. Also Spectronik’s portable, air-cooled Hydrogen fuel cell products fulfil the market needs that were previously underserved by bigger liquid-cooled fuel cells. NEXTY Electronics brings more Spectronik fuel cells into Japan market.
Jogjaman Jap, Founder and CEO, Spectronik “NEXTY Electronics is a top-class partner with strong business and technical acumen and extensive customer network. This partnership is a testament to Spectronik’s product quality and technology readiness level. We thank NEXTY Electronics for their trust in Spectronik and look forward to a long-term collaboration”.
NEXTY Electronics will also contribute to solving social issues toward the Japanese government’s goal of realizing “Society 5.0 with Carbon Neutral.
