Aquarius Engines now plans to establish a subsidiary in Japan to broaden its global reach, collaborate on R&D and seek new strategic partners. The Israeli firm is looking to Tokyo to boost existing relationships and foster new ones – with an eye on adapting their patented linear free-piston engine to operate on hydrogen.
In recent years the Japanese government has invested in an ambitious policy to encourage research and development into the use of hydrogen as an energy source.
"We are proud to be deepening our partnership with Musashi Seimitsu and establishing strong roots within the Japanese automotive industry. Japan's global reputation as a leader in the automotive industry makes it fertile ground for Aquarius Engines to evolve and grow," said Gal Fridman, Chairman of Aquarius Engines.
