Rehlko Signs Exclusive Agreement with Toyota to Supply Fuel Cell Modules

Published

on

ANAHEIM, Calif., April 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Rehlko and Toyota Motor North America (Toyota) today announced at the Advanced Clean Transportation Expo a supplier agreement wherein Toyota will provide its hydrogen-powered fuel cell modules to Rehlko, a global leader in energy resilience, for use in stationary power generator products.

The agreement pairs Rehlko’s longstanding track record of delivering innovative energy solutions that improve life and provide independence, agility and security to mission-critical infrastructure, facilities and residences with Toyota’s proven fuel cell technology.

“Toyota is excited to work with Rehlko on helping to build strong energy solutions using our proven, scalable fuel cell technology,” said Thibaut de Barros Conti, general manager, Toyota Hydrogen Solutions. “Integrating Rehlko’s systems with Toyota’s fuel cell technology has the potential to yield cleaner, reliable and more sustainable energy that can scale based on the needs of customers and society and enable smart, energy-independent mobility for all.”

Interest in alternative fuels, like hydrogen, has surged significantly for stationary applications, including both backup and primary uses. For operators especially focused on solutions that provide zero emissions at the point of use, Rehlko plans to integrate Toyota’s fuel cell technology, which can be designed and manufactured to the same operational standards as conventional generators.

The fuel cell-based generation systems can be used to power facilities, such as data centers, warehouses and off-grid networks, as well as to help protect against weather conditions and grid overload – all while producing local emissions that consist of water and air.

“The 1MW fuel cell generator represents a significant step forward in energy resilience for mission-critical customers. It delivers the same reliability, but helps customers meet their resilience goals by cutting local emissions to zero,” says Charles Hunsucker, President, Power Systems at Rehlko. “This cutting-edge technology is ready for orders today.”

Rehlko and Toyota’s first collaboration was to develop and install a 100kW hydrogen fuel cell power generation system to reinforce and back up the electrical infrastructure and secondary power generation at Klickitat Valley Health, a hospital in rural Washington State. Building on the success of this project, Rehlko and Toyota have developed and engineered a commercialized 1MW system to meet the demand for 1MW or more, with Rehlko developing the overall system and Toyota supplying fuel cell technology.

Toyota’s research and development with hydrogen fuel cell technology spans more than 30 years, from creating the Toyota Mirai, one of the world’s first mass-market passenger fuel cell electric vehicles, to scaling fuel cell technology for other applications. Toyota has put the technology through its paces from development and testing in conditions colder than -20° Fahrenheit to nearly 150° in Death Valley. Toyota maintains an engineering, product planning and business operations headquarters – NA H2HQ – in Southern California and fuel cell kit assembly in Georgetown, Kentucky.

Haloid Solutions Expands Access to Radio Equipment by Offering Flexible Financing and Leasing Solutions Named HaloidFLEX

Published

on

By

NEW YORK, April 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As part of Haloid Solutions’ long-term commitment to helping businesses and municipalities acquire critical communications equipment despite budgetary constraints, Haloid now offers specialized financing and leasing programs through its HaloidFLEX program.

Designed to ensure that companies and governments have the equipment they need without costly capital expenditures outlays, HaloidFLEX offers financing for equipment purchased directly from manufacturers or local radio dealers. HaloidFLEX financing offers zero percent and low-interest options as well as predictable monthly payments for qualified buyers. HaloidFLEX clients can even opt to incorporate extended support services and protections into their financing to prepare for accidents, theft, or equipment losses. This gives companies peace of mind with one low monthly payment.

For organizations that don’t want or need to own equipment long-term, the HaloidFLEX leasing program offers similar benefits with potential tax advantages. Companies can lease brand new equipment and upgrade or return it at lease-end as needed. For companies seeking flexible options – or those that are interested in upgrading to the latest technology as it becomes available – leasing makes perfect sense.

One of the added benefits of each program is that HaloidFLEX allows clients to bundle services and protections that would normally be billed separately. Accidental damage, theft, and loss protections can be put in place, so that there’s never a lapse in communication if a radio fails. Extended warranties are also available upon request, so companies can customize their financing and protection to fit their budget and safeguard their equipment simultaneously.

According to a Haloid Solutions spokesperson, “Bundling expenses simply makes sense. It reduces the need for multiple policies and flexes with organizations to ensure critical communication equipment is available when needed while guaranteeing that the company’s investment is protected for the life of the equipment.”

HaloidFLEX financing and leasing programs are available to qualified businesses and municipalities nationwide. To learn more or request a customized quote, visit HaloidSolutions.com.

Vipboss Marks Earth Day with Renewed Commitment to Green Energy Solutions

Published

on

By

NEW YORK, April 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As Earth Day draws global attention to environmental responsibility, Vipboss, a specialist manufacturer and developer of lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery packs for energy storage and mobility applications, is underscoring its long‑term commitment to sustainable energy practices through its Environmental Advocacy. This advocacy is devoid of ornate language; its inspiration stems from the brand’s unwavering conviction in LiFePO4 batteries as a green energy solution. To align this message with practical action, the brand is also running a themed sales campaign on its official website during April 18th to 30th. It highlights how practical product solutions, rather than abstract concepts, can support cleaner energy use in everyday life.

Across the world, energy consumption patterns are undergoing rapid change. Households, outdoor users, and light‑mobility sectors are increasingly seeking energy systems that are safe, sustainable, and low‑emission. Within this shift, LiFePO4 batteries have emerged as a preferred technology for clean‑energy applications. Their long service life, high safety profile, and absence of cobalt, which is an element associated with higher environmental and ethical risks, position them as a responsible choice in the global transition toward greener power.

LiFePO4 technology forms the foundation of Vipboss’s approach to sustainable energy. Its extended cycle life reduces the frequency of battery replacement, lowering resource consumption and easing the environmental burden associated with disposal. The material’s inherent stability also minimizes the risk of thermal runaway, offering a safer experience in homes, recreational vehicles, and public environments. In practical use cases such as home backup systems, RV travel, and golf‑course operations, LiFePO4 batteries deliver efficient storage and stable output, helping reduce reliance on fossil‑fuel‑based energy sources and supporting lower‑carbon lifestyles.

Vipboss’s environmental advocacy extends beyond the technical advantages of its products. The brand promotes responsible energy use as an integral part of sustainable living, emphasizing that product design and informed application must work together to achieve meaningful environmental outcomes. As a provider of energy solutions for home, travel, and leisure scenarios, Vipboss continues to participate in the long‑term process of green transformation through ongoing technological refinement and product evolution.

Earth Day serves as a reminder that lasting environmental impact is built through small, consistent actions. Looking ahead, Vipboss will continue advancing safer, more durable, and more efficient energy products that support individuals and families in adopting more sustainable energy habits. Through these efforts, the brand aims to contribute enduring value to the wider adoption of clean energy and the collective pursuit of a more sustainable future.
